Bulk solvent scaling problems
Dear all, I am using phenix.refine for the first time to refine a 4.5A structure solved by MR with individual sites (stretching things a bit, I know) and a grouped ADP per domain. Below are the R-factor per cycle stats: REMARK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REMARK R-factors, x-ray target values and norm of gradient of x-ray target REMARK stage r-work r-free xray_target_w xray_target_t REMARK 0 : 0.6464 0.6186 7.101344e+00 7.091899e+00 REMARK 1_bss: 0.3955 0.4006 6.825652e+00 6.806242e+00 REMARK 1_xyz: 0.3200 0.3622 6.675328e+00 6.720706e+00 REMARK 1_adp: 0.3201 0.3622 6.674498e+00 6.719426e+00 REMARK 2_bss: 0.3539 0.3804 6.736883e+00 6.752128e+00 REMARK 2_xyz: 0.3067 0.3427 6.639056e+00 6.687071e+00 REMARK 2_adp: 0.3062 0.3423 6.638917e+00 6.687168e+00 REMARK 3_bss: 0.3357 0.3685 6.706475e+00 6.735398e+00 REMARK 3_xyz: 0.3082 0.3469 6.652536e+00 6.702364e+00 REMARK 3_adp: 0.3076 0.3468 6.652984e+00 6.703972e+00 REMARK 3_bss: 0.3286 0.3659 6.701854e+00 6.743421e+00 REMARK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can see that after the intial scaling, each cycle of bulk solvent scaling and anisotropy correction leads to an increase in R-factors of ~2%. Has anyone seen this behaviour before and maybe suggest a solution? Alternatively, is there a way I can turn off the final cycle of bulk solvent scaling before outputting the pdb and maps? Thanks in advance, Steve Glynn
Hi Steve, you are the second person in the last 2 years who faced the problem in bulk solvent correction and aniso scaling in phenix since it is introduced in 2005 (Acta Cryst. (2005). D61, 850-855 "A robust bulk-solvent correction and anisotropic scaling procedure" P. V. Afonine, R. W. Grosse-Kunstleve and P. D. Adams). Yes, I clearly see there is a problem. For me the only way to debug and fix it is to have your data and model so I can reproduce this problem on my computer and fix it. My question then: could you please send me the model and data? I guarantee that I will use it for fixing this bug only I will remove your data from my computer once the problem is fixed. Otherwise there is noting I can do. The protocol we have is very robust and sophisticated and so if it fails there is something really exceptional so I really need to look at the data to resolve it. Cheers, Pavel. seglynn wrote:
