Autosol uses the quality of the model built as a score, if any model
is built (R-factor if < 0.40; number of residues built less 2 *
number of chains otherwise).. If no model is built, it uses the
standard 4 or 5 criteria that are printed out on the AutoSol wizard
screen (CC and R-factor for density modification; skew of electron
density histograms, FOM, CC of NCS).

It can tell by the ratio of anomalous to real scattering
corresponding to each atom.

As Pavel and Ralf have mentioned, this is because AutoSol has tossed
a few (usually blank) reflections from your reflection file when it
created the refinement file
exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags_15.mtz # or something similar. Without
the "_15" if from AutoBuild
The solution is to either (1) use the refinement file from AutoSol
(exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags_15.mtz), or to delete the MD5 remark
record from the AutoSol/AutoBuild PDB file.
>4. Lastly, is it possible to use multiple processors to run the job?
As Pavel mentioned...we are thinking about this but do not have anything yet.

[phenixbb] Two postdoc positions in Ubiquitin Signalling, WEHI, Melbourne, Australia
by Bernhard Lechtenberg
Dear colleagues,
The Ubiquitin Signalling Division at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) is looking to recruit two Research Officers (Postdocs) to join our teams in the Lechtenberg and Komander labs.
WEHI in Melbourne is Australia’s pre-eminent medical research institute. The Ubiquitin Signalling Division at WEHI was established in 2018, and offers a vibrant, multi-disciplinary and highly collaborative environment at the forefront of ubiquitin research with access to state-of-the art facilities in proteomics, structural biology (Titan Krios G4, Australian Synchrotron), biophysics (SEC-MALS, ITC, SPR, mass photometry, MST), cell manipulation (CRISPR) and imaging facilities, and drug discovery through the National Drug Discovery Centre (NDDC). The division features a continuous stream of excellent publications, exciting preliminary data, and opportunities to establish research ideas in a multidisciplinary environment.
The Lechtenberg lab seeks to recruit a postdoc with structural biology (crystallography or cryo-EM) and biochemistry expertise to study large RBR E3 ligase complexes. Preliminary data include an established mammalian expression system.
Details and applications: https://wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/job/Research-Officer---Struct…
Contact: Dr. Bernhard Lechtenberg, lechtenberg.b(a)wehi.edu.au<mailto:[email protected]>
The Komander lab seeks to recruit a postdoc with structural biology and protein biochemistry background to embark on an early-stage drug discovery project in the area of mitophagy and Parkinson’s disease, with excellent academic and translational / entrepreneurial outputs expected.
Details and applications: https://wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/job/Parkville-Victoria-Austra…
Contact: Prof. David Komander, dk(a)wehi.edu.au<mailto:[email protected]>
We offer three-year contracts with highly competitive salaries and benefits. Pre-application enquiries are encouraged via the contact details provided.
Please share this information within your networks.
Kind regards,
Bernhard

This isn't the only problem; another issue is that matplotlib creates these caches, and the maintainers appear to never have considered what would happen if the cached directory were removed. So when you run the GUI in version X of Phenix, then remove version X and install version Y, it will still look for the fonts installed with version X. I complained about this last December, and it remains unsolved in any of the official releases (one of which was this year).

Also, we often depend on new features in the various dependencies that would not be immediately available through the package managers (for instance, we switched to Python 2.6 almost immediately because I needed the multiprocessing module). There are many things in the current installers that I'm unhappy with, but they don't take very much time to maintain, which is essential.

Re: [phenixbb] phenix.refine Ile peptide bond breaks
by Pavel Afonine
Hi Katherine,
sorry for the problem! From what you describe I can't really see what is
wrong... So let's approach it this way:
- Are you using the latest version of PHENIX (or at least not older than
a few months)? If not, please get the latest:
http://www.phenix-online.org/download/
and try the refinement again.
- It is nearly impossible to tell what is wrong without actually looking
at the PDB file. Could you please send me the PDB file? Also, I will
need the exact command and parameters file (if you use one) that you use
to run refinement. At this point I don't need the data, since I can
simulate it given the PDB file. Please indicate the bonds that get broken.
I will look into this problem once I get the file and the command.
Pavel.

[phenixbb] Re: red blobs (Andrea Smith)
by Dr. Kevin M Jude
Jumping on an old thread…
I have a similar situation to Andrea’s; optimize_mask converged to the default values of rsolve and rshrink, but running phenix.mosaic produced quite improved maps. I’m trying, using version 1.21.2-5419, to run phenix.refine with main.mosaic=True and can’t find the setting in the gui, nor is it recognized when I run from the command line. Is it implemented in this version, or in some other version I can download?
Best wishes
Kevin

Subject: Re: [phenixbb] red blobs (Andrea Smith)
Hi Andrea,
here is what you can do today..
phenix.mosaic model.pdb data.mtz
(yes, command line only, so far).
This will take a minute or less (or more if the model is very large) and
create model_mosaic.mtz file that contains the following Fourier map
coefficients for mFo-DFc and 2mFo-DFc kind of maps:
mFo-DFc_whole
mFo-DFc_main
mFo-DFc_mosaic
2mFo-DFc_whole
2mFo-DFc_main
2mFo-DFc_mosaic
(you can see the MTZ file content by using this command: phenix.mtz.dump
model_mosaic.mtz)
The suffixes 'whole', 'main' and 'mosaic' refer to the types of masks
used in calculation of each map and are explained in the paper:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/pro.4909
To reiterate:
'whole' refers to the standard default bulk-solvent mask;
'main' refers to the largest part of the standard default bulk-solvent
mask (small mask droplets inside protein region are removed);
'mosaic' refers to the mosaic mask, which is essentially the 'main' mask
plus only those smaller masks that contain measurable amounts of the
bulk-solvent (the rest, empty ones, that are responsible for 'red blobs'
are removed).
Next, you load these maps and your atomic model into Coot and inspect.
Artifacts such as 'red blobs' you reported earlier should be absent in
'mFo-DFc_mosaic' map. This may lead to improvement of corresponding
'2mFo-DFc_mosaic' map.
Now, as you can see, this is separate from refinement.
Here is what you should be able to do tomorrow..
Today I will add a parameter to phenix.refine (main.mosaic=True/False),
which means if you get and install tomorrow's nightly build of Phenix
(dev-5285 and up) the mosaic maps, both mFo-DFc_main and
2mFo-DFc_mosaic, will be present in the MTZ file created by
phenix.refine (which is available in both CL and GUI).
Let me know if you have any questions!
Good luck!
Pavel

Re: [phenixbb] Discrepancy between Phenix GUI and command line for MR
by Xavier Brazzolotto
For information
Apple M2 running Ventura 13.4.1 with 64 Go memory
Phenix 1.20.1-4487 (Intel one).
I’ve run MR of the same dataset (2.15A - I422) with the same model both with the command line and through the GUI.
Command line (phenix.phaser) : 48 secs.
GUI (Phaser-MR simple one component interface): 18 mins !
In copy the two log files if this helps

If it’s a Mac, is it one with an Intel processor or an ARM (M1 or M2) processor? (By the way, we finally managed to track down and fix an issue that cause Phaser to run really slowly on an M1 or M2 Mac when using the version compiled for Intel, once I got my hands on a new Mac.)

Re: [phenixbb] alternatives to RMSD
by Pavel Afonine
Hi Patrick,
supposing models are superposed appropriately (see previous comments on
phenixbb), step-by-step I see it as following:
- compute density map for model A (or its Fourier synthesis of
resolution 1A or higher),
- compute density map for model B (or its Fourier synthesis of
resolution 1A or higher),
- compute map CC per residue or per atom between maps corresponding to A
and B.
I would think that "superposed appropriately" is a key here.
