============== phenix.xtriage ============== **Purpose** ``phenix.xtriage`` is a program that performs a number of basic 'sanity' checks on an Xray data set. It provides a quick way of determining certain idiosynchrasies of the data. **Keywords and getting help** Usage instructions can be obtained by typing:: % phenix.xtriage --help Keywords are grouped in a number of scopes, as is clear from the `phil`_-style input:: scaling.input { parameters { asu_contents { n_residues = None n_bases = None n_copies_per_asu = None } misc_twin_parameters { missing_symmetry { tanh_location = 0.08 tanh_slope = 50 } twinning_with_ncs { perform_analyses = False n_bins = 7 } twin_test_cuts { low_resolution = 10 high_resolution = None isigi_cut = 3 completeness_cut = 0.85 } } reporting { verbose = 1 log = "logfile.log" ccp4_style_graphs = True } } xray_data { file_name = "some_data.sca" obs_labels = None calc_labels = None unit_cell = 64.5 69.5 45.5 90 104.3 90 space_group = "P 1 21 1" high_resolution = None low_resolution = None } } The defaults should be good for most applications. Minimal (and sufficient) input usually looks like this:: phenix.xtriage file=my_brilliant_data.mtz obs_labels='F(+),SIGF(+),F(-),SIGF(-)' A more efficient input actaully uses *the substring matching* capabilities implemented in the phil input processor and the reflection file reading routines:: phenix.xtriage my_brilliant_data.mtz obs=+ The keywords are explained below: **Scope**: *parameters.asu_contents* :: keys: * n_residues :: Number of residues per monomer/unit * n_bases :: Number of nucleotides per monomer/unit * n_copies_per_asu :: Number of copies in the ASU. These keywords control the determination of the absolute scale. If the number of residues/bases is not specified, a solvent content of 50% is assumed. **Scope**: *parameters.misc_twin_parameters.missing_symmetry* :: keys: * tanh_location :: tanh decision rule parameter * tanh_slope :: tanh decision rule parameter The ``tanh_location`` and ``tanh_slope`` parameter control what R-value is considered to be low enough to be considered a 'proper' symmetry operator. the ``tanh_location parameter`` corresponds to the inflection point of the approximate step function. Increasing ``tanh_location`` will result in large R-value thresholds. ``tanh_slope`` is set to 50 and should be okai. **Scope**: *parameters.misc_twin_parameters.twinning_with_ncs* :: keys: * perform_test :: can be set to True or False * n_bins :: Number of bins in determination of D_ncs The perform_test is by default set to False. Setting it to True triggers the determination of the twin fraction while taking into account NCS parallel to the twin axis. **Scope**: *parameters.misc_twin_parameters.twin_test_cuts* :: keys: * high_resolution : high resolution for twin tests * low_resolution: low resolution for twin tests * isigi_cut: I/sig(I) threshold in automatic determination of high resolutiuon limit * completeness_cut: completeness threshold in automatic determination of high resolutiuon limit The automatic determination of the resolution limit for the twinning test is determined on the basis of the completeness after removing intensities for which I/sigI1 | I/sigI>2 | I/sigI>3 | I/sigI>5 | I/sigI>10 | I/sigI>15 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 19.87 - 7.98 | 96.4% | 95.3% | 94.5% | 93.6% | 91.7% | 89.3% | | 7.98 - 6.40 | 99.2% | 98.2% | 97.1% | 95.5% | 90.9% | 84.7% | | 6.40 - 5.61 | 97.8% | 95.4% | 93.3% | 87.1% | 76.6% | 66.8% | | 5.61 - 5.11 | 98.2% | 95.9% | 94.0% | 87.9% | 74.1% | 58.0% | | 5.11 - 4.75 | 97.9% | 96.2% | 94.5% | 91.1% | 79.2% | 62.5% | | 4.75 - 4.47 | 97.4% | 95.4% | 93.1% | 88.9% | 76.6% | 56.9% | | 4.47 - 4.25 | 96.5% | 94.5% | 92.1% | 88.0% | 75.3% | 56.5% | | 4.25 - 4.07 | 96.6% | 94.0% | 91.2% | 85.4% | 69.3% | 44.9% | | 4.07 - 3.91 | 95.6% | 92.1% | 87.8% | 80.1% | 61.9% | 34.8% | | 3.91 - 3.78 | 94.3% | 89.6% | 83.7% | 71.1% | 48.7% | 20.5% | | 3.78 - 3.66 | 95.7% | 90.9% | 85.6% | 71.5% | 42.4% | 14.8% | | 3.66 - 3.56 | 91.6% | 85.0% | 78.0% | 63.3% | 34.1% | 9.5% | | 3.56 - 3.46 | 89.8% | 80.4% | 70.2% | 52.8% | 22.2% | 3.8% | | 3.46 - 3.38 | 87.4% | 76.3% | 64.6% | 46.7% | 15.5% | 1.7% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This analyses is also used in the automatic determinination of the high resolution limit used in the intensity statistics and twin analyses. *Absolute, likelihood based Wilson scaling* The (anisotropic) B value of the data is determined using a likelihood based approach. The resulting B value/tensor is reported:: Maximum likelihood isotropic Wilson scaling ML estimate of overall B value of sec17.sca:i_obs,sigma: 75.85 A**(-2) Estimated -log of scale factor of sec17.sca:i_obs,sigma: -2.50 Maximum likelihood anisotropic Wilson scaling ML estimate of overall B_cart value of sec17.sca:i_obs,sigma: 68.92, 0.00, 0.00 68.92, 0.00 91.87 Equivalent representation as U_cif: 0.87, -0.00, -0.00 0.87, 0.00 1.16 ML estimate of -log of scale factor of sec17.sca:i_obs,sigma: -2.50 Correcting for anisotropy in the data A large spread in (especially the diagonal) values indicates anisotropy. The anisotropy is corrected for. This clears up intensity statistics. *Low resolution completeness analyses* Mosty data processing software do not provide a clear picture of the completeness of the data at low resolution. For this reason, ``phenix.xtriage`` lists the completeness of the data up to 5 Angstrom:: Low resolution completeness analyses The following table shows the completeness of the data to 5 Angstrom. unused: - 19.8702 [ 0/68 ] 0.000 bin 1: 19.8702 - 10.3027 [425/455] 0.934 bin 2: 10.3027 - 8.3766 [443/446] 0.993 bin 3: 8.3766 - 7.3796 [446/447] 0.998 bin 4: 7.3796 - 6.7336 [447/449] 0.996 bin 5: 6.7336 - 6.2673 [450/454] 0.991 bin 6: 6.2673 - 5.9080 [428/429] 0.998 bin 7: 5.9080 - 5.6192 [459/466] 0.985 bin 8: 5.6192 - 5.3796 [446/450] 0.991 bin 9: 5.3796 - 5.1763 [437/440] 0.993 bin 10: 5.1763 - 5.0006 [460/462] 0.996 unused: 5.0006 - [ 0/0 ] This analyses allows one to quickly see if there is any unually low completeness at low resolution, for instance due to mising overloads. *Wilson plot analyses* A Wilson plot analyses *a la* ARP/wARP is carried out, albeit with a slightly different standard curve:: Mean intensity analyses Analyses of the mean intensity. Inspired by: Morris et al. (2004). J. Synch. Rad.11, 56-59. The following resolution shells are worrisome: ------------------------------------------------ | d_spacing | z_score | compl. | / | ------------------------------------------------ | 5.773 | 7.95 | 0.99 | 0.658 | | 5.423 | 8.62 | 0.99 | 0.654 | | 5.130 | 6.31 | 0.99 | 0.744 | | 4.879 | 5.36 | 0.99 | 0.775 | | 4.662 | 4.52 | 0.99 | 0.803 | | 3.676 | 5.45 | 0.99 | 1.248 | ------------------------------------------------ Possible reasons for the presence of the reported unexpected low or elevated mean intensity in a given resolution bin are : - missing overloaded or weak reflections - suboptimal data processing - satelite (ice) crystals - NCS - translational pseudo symmetry (detected elsewhere) - outliers (detected elsewhere) - ice rings (detected elsewhere) - other problems Note that the presence of abnormalities in a certain region of reciprocal space might confuse the data validation algorithm throughout a large region of reciprocal space, even though the data is acceptable in those areas. A very long list of warnings could indicate a serious problem with your data. Decisions on whether or not the data is useful, should be cut or should thrown away alltogether, is not straightforward and falls beyond the scope of ``phenix.xtriage``. *Outlier detection and rejection* Possible outliers are detected on the basis Wilson statistics:: Possible outliers Inspired by: Read, Acta Cryst. (1999). D55, 1759-1764 Acentric reflections: ----------------------------------------------------------------- | d_space | H K L | |E| | p(wilson) | p(extreme) | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | 3.716 | 8, 6, 31 | 3.52 | 4.06e-06 | 5.87e-02 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- p(wilson) : 1-(1-exp[-|E|^2]) p(extreme) : 1-(1-exp[-|E|^2])^(n_acentrics) p(wilson) is the probability that an E-value of the specified value would be observed when it would selected at random from the given data set. p(extreme) is the probability that the largest |E| value is larger or equal than the observed largest |E| value. Both measures can be used for outlier detection. p(extreme) takes into account the size of the dataset. Outliers are removed from the dataset in the further analyses. Note that if pseudo translational symmetry is present, a large number of 'outliers' will be present. *Ice ring detection* Ice rings in the data are detected by analysing the completeness and the mean intensity:: Ice ring related problems The following statistics were obtained from ice-ring insensitive resolution ranges mean bin z_score : 3.47 ( rms deviation : 2.83 ) mean bin completeness : 0.99 ( rms deviation : 0.00 ) The following table shows the z-scores and completeness in ice-ring sensitive areas. Large z-scores and high completeness in these resolution ranges might be a reason to re-assess your data processsing if ice rings were present. ------------------------------------------------ | d_spacing | z_score | compl. | Rel. Ice int. | ------------------------------------------------ | 3.897 | 0.12 | 0.97 | 1.000 | | 3.669 | 0.96 | 0.95 | 0.750 | | 3.441 | 2.14 | 0.94 | 0.530 | ------------------------------------------------ Abnormalities in mean intensity or completeness at resolution ranges with a relative ice ring intensity lower then 0.10 will be ignored. At 3.67 A there is an lower occupancy then expected from the rest of the data set. Even though the completeness is lower as expected, the mean instensity is still reasonable at this resolution At 3.44 A there is an lower occupancy then expected from the rest of the data set. Even though the completeness is lower as expected, the mean instensity is still reasonable at this resolution There were 2 ice ring related warnings This could indicate the presence of ice rings. *Anomalous signal* If the input reflection file contains separate intensities for each Friedel mate, a quality measure of the anomalous signal is reported:: Analyses of anomalous differences Table of measurability as a function of resolution The measurability is defined as the fraction of Bijvoet related intensity differences for which |delta_I|/sigma_delta_I > 3.0 min[I(+)/sigma_I(+), I(-)/sigma_I(-)] > 3.0 holds. The measurability provides an intuitive feeling of the quality of the data, as it is related to the number of reliable Bijvoet differences. When the data is processed properly and the standard deviations have been estimated accurately, values larger than 0.05 are encouraging. unused: - 19.8704 [ 0/68 ] bin 1: 19.8704 - 7.0211 [1551/1585] 0.1924 bin 2: 7.0211 - 5.6142 [1560/1575] 0.0814 bin 3: 5.6142 - 4.9168 [1546/1555] 0.0261 bin 4: 4.9168 - 4.4729 [1563/1582] 0.0081 bin 5: 4.4729 - 4.1554 [1557/1577] 0.0095 bin 6: 4.1554 - 3.9124 [1531/1570] 0.0083 bin 7: 3.9124 - 3.7178 [1541/1585] 0.0069 bin 8: 3.7178 - 3.5569 [1509/1552] 0.0028 bin 9: 3.5569 - 3.4207 [1522/1606] 0.0085 bin 10: 3.4207 - 3.3032 [1492/1574] 0.0044 unused: 3.3032 - [ 0/0 ] The anomalous signal seems to extend to about 5.9 A (or to 5.2 A, from a more optimistic point of view) The quoted resolution limits can be used as a guideline to decide where to cut the resolution for phenix.hyss As the anomalous signal is not very strong in this dataset substructire solution via SAD might prove to be a challenge. Especially if only low resolution reflections are used, the resulting substructures could contain a significant amount of of false positives. *Determination of twin laws* Twin laws are found using a modifed le-Page algorithm and classified as merohedral and pseudo merohedral:: Determining possible twin laws. The following twin laws have been found: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Type | Axis | R metric (%) | delta (le Page) | delta (Lebedev) | Twin law | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | M | 2-fold | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | -h,k,-l | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M: Merohedral twin law PM: Pseudomerohedral twin law 1 merohedral twin operators found 0 pseudo-merohedral twin operators found In total, 1 twin operator were found Non-merohedral (reticular) twinning is not considered. The ``R-metric`` is equal to : \Sum (M_i-N_i)^2 / \Sum M_i^2 M_i are elements of the original metric tensor and N_i are elements of the metric tensor after 'idealising' the unit cell, in compliance with the restrictions the twin law poses on the lattice if it would be a 'true' symmetry operator. The ``delta le-Page`` is the familiar obliquity. The ``delta Lebedev`` is a twin law quality measure developed by A. Lebedev (Lebedev, Vagin & Murshudov; Acta Cryst. (2006). D62, 83-95.). Note that for merohedral twin laws, all quality indicators are 0. For non-merohedral twin laws, this value is larger or euqal to zero. If a twin law is classified as non-merohedral, but has a ``delta le-page`` equal to zero, the twin law is sometimes referred to as a *metric merohedric twin law*. *Locating translational pseudo synmmetry (TPS)* TPS is located by inspecting a low resolution Patterson function. Peaks and their significance levels are reported:: Largest patterson peak with length larger then 15 Angstrom Frac. coord. : 0.027 0.057 0.345 Distance to origin : 17.444 Height (origin=100) : 3.886 p_value(height) : 9.982e-01 The reported p_value has the following meaning: The probability that a peak of the specified height or larger is found in a Patterson function of a macro molecule that does not have any translational pseudo symmetry is equal to 9.982e-01 p_values smaller then 0.05 might indicate weak translation pseudo symmetry, or the self vector of a large anomalous scatterer such as Hg, whereas values smaller then 1e-3 are a very strong indication for the presence of translational pseudo symmetry. *Moments of the observed intensities* The moment of the observed intensity/amplitude distribution, are reported, as well as their expected values:: Wilson ratio and moments Acentric reflections /^2 :1.955 (untwinned: 2.000; perfect twin 1.500) ^2/ :0.796 (untwinned: 0.785; perfect twin 0.885) <|E^2 - 1|> :0.725 (untwinned: 0.736; perfect twin 0.541) Centric reflections /^2 :2.554 (untwinned: 3.000; perfect twin 2.000) ^2/ :0.700 (untwinned: 0.637; perfect twin 0.785) <|E^2 - 1|> :0.896 (untwinned: 0.968; perfect twin 0.736) Significant departure from the ideal values could indicate the presence of twinning or pseudo translations. For instance, an /^2 value significantly lower than 2.0, might point to twinning, whereas a value significantly larger than 2.0, might point towards pseudo translational symmetry. *Cumulative intensity distribution* The cumulative intensity distribution is reported:: ----------------------------------------------- | Z | Nac_obs | Nac_theo | Nc_obs | Nc_theo | ----------------------------------------------- | 0.0 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | | 0.1 | 0.081 | 0.095 | 0.168 | 0.248 | | 0.2 | 0.167 | 0.181 | 0.292 | 0.345 | | 0.3 | 0.247 | 0.259 | 0.354 | 0.419 | | 0.4 | 0.321 | 0.330 | 0.420 | 0.474 | | 0.5 | 0.392 | 0.394 | 0.473 | 0.520 | | 0.6 | 0.452 | 0.451 | 0.521 | 0.561 | | 0.7 | 0.506 | 0.503 | 0.570 | 0.597 | | 0.8 | 0.552 | 0.551 | 0.603 | 0.629 | | 0.9 | 0.593 | 0.593 | 0.636 | 0.657 | | 1.0 | 0.635 | 0.632 | 0.673 | 0.683 | ----------------------------------------------- | Maximum deviation acentric : 0.015 | | Maximum deviation centric : 0.080 | | | | _acentric : -0.004 | | _centric : -0.039 | ----------------------------------------------- The N(Z) test is related to the moments based test discussed above. Nac_obs is the observed cumulative distribution of normalized intensities of the acentric data, and uses the full distribution rather then just a moment. The effects of twinning shows itself for Nac_obs having a more sigmoidal character. In the case of pseudo centering, Nac_obs will tend towards Nc_theo. *The L test* The ``L-test`` is an intensity statistic developed by Padilla and Yeates (Acta Cryst. (2003), D59: 1124-1130) and is reasonably robust in the presence of anisotropy and pseudo centering, especially if the miller indices are partitioned properly. Partitioning is carried out on the basis of a Patterson analyses. A significant deviation of both `<|L|>` and `` from the expected values indicate twinning or other problems:: L test for acentric data using difference vectors (dh,dk,dl) of the form: (2hp,2kp,2lp) where hp, kp, and lp are random signed integers such that 2 <= |dh| + |dk| + |dl| <= 8 Mean |L| :0.482 (untwinned: 0.500; perfect twin: 0.375) Mean L^2 :0.314 (untwinned: 0.333; perfect twin: 0.200) The distribution of |L| values indicates a twin fraction of 0.00. Note that this estimate is not as reliable as obtained via a Britton plot or H-test if twin laws are available. Whether or not the `<|L|>` and `` differ significantly from the expected values, is shown in the final summary (see below). *Analyses of twin laws* Twin law specific tests (Britton, H and RvsR) are performed:: Results of the H-test on a-centric data: (Only 50.0% of the strongest twin pairs were used) mean |H| : 0.183 (0.50: untwinned; 0.0: 50% twinned) mean H^2 : 0.055 (0.33: untwinned; 0.0: 50% twinned) Estimation of twin fraction via mean |H|: 0.317 Estimation of twin fraction via cum. dist. of H: 0.308 Britton analyses Extrapolation performed on 0.34 < alpha < 0.495 Estimated twin fraction: 0.283 Correlation: 0.9951 R vs R statistic: R_abs_twin = <|I1-I2|>/<|I1+I2|> Lebedev, Vagin, Murshudov. Acta Cryst. (2006).

The estimated twin fraction is equal to 0.227 These tests allow one to estuimate the twin fraction and (if calculated data is provided) determine if rotational pseudo symmetry is present. Another otion (albeit more computationally expensive), is to estimate the correlation between error free, untwinned, twin related normalized intensities (use the key ``perform=True`` on the command line) :: Estimation of twin fraction, while taking into account the effects of possible NCS parallel to the twin axis. Zwart, Read, Grosse-Kunstleve & Adams, to be published. A parameters D_ncs will be estimated as a function of resolution, together with a global twin fraction. D_ncs is an estimate of the correlation coefficient between untwinned, error-free, twin related, normalized intensities. Large values (0.95) could indicate an incorrect point group. Value of D_ncs larger than say, 0.5, could indicate the presence of NCS. The twin fraction should be smaller or similar to other estimates given elsewhere. The refinement can take some time. For numerical stability issues, D_ncs is limited between 0 and 0.95. The twin fraction is allowed to vary between 0 and 0.45.

Good to reasonable data is expected to have a Z score lower than 3.5. Large values can indicate twinning, but small values do not neccesarily exclude it.

No significant pseudotranslation is detected. The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics behave as expected. No twinning is suspected. The symmetry of the lattice and intensity however suggests that the input space group is too low. See the relevant sections of the log file for more details on your choice of space groups. As the symmetry is suspected to be incorrect, it is advicable to reconsider data processing.

No significant pseudotranslation is detected. The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics behave as expected. No twinning is suspected. Even though no twinning is suspected, it might be worthwhile carrying out a refinement using a dedicated twin target anyway, as twinned structures with low twin fractions are difficult to distinguish from non-twinned structures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twinned data:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twinning and intensity statistics summary (acentric data): Statistics independent of twin laws - /^2 : 1.587 - ^2/ : 0.871 - <|E^2-1|> : 0.568 - <|L|>, : 0.387, 0.212 Multivariate Z score L-test: 11.589 The multivariate Z score is a quality measure of the given spread in intensities.

No significant pseudotranslation is detected. The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics are significantly different then is expected from good to reasonable, untwinned data. As there are twin laws possible given the crystal symmetry, twinning could be the reason for the departure of the intensity statistics from normality. It might be worthwhile carrying refinement with a twin specific target function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the summary, the significance of the departure of the values of the L-test from normality are stated. The multivariate Z-score (also known as the Mahalanobis distance) is used for this purpose. **The log file** The logfile contains all the output that was writen to the screen, as well as a number of plots that can be visualized with the ccp4 program *loggraph*. **Literature and citing phenix.xtriage** Two CCP4 newletter articles have been published regarding ``phenix.xtriage``: - `CCP4 newsletter No. 42, Summer 2005: Characterization of X-ray data sets`_ - `CCP4 newsletter No. 43, Winter 2005: Xtriage and Fest: automatic assessment of X-ray data and substructure structure factor estimation`_ .. _`CCP4 newsletter No. 43, Winter 2005: Xtriage and Fest: automatic assessment of X-ray data and substructure structure factor estimation` : http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/newsletters/newsletter43/articles/PHZ_RWGK_PDA.pdf .. _`CCP4 newsletter No. 42, Summer 2005: Characterization of X-ray data sets` : http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/newsletters/newsletter42/articles/CCP4_2005_PHZ_RWGK_PDA.doc .. _`phil` : http://cci.lbl.gov/publications/download/iucrcompcomm_jan2005.pdf
