Hi,
recently i used phenix (AutoSol and AutoBuild) on a SAD dataset
containing Iodine. I was wanting to do my refinement using Refmac
instead of phenix.refine. I was wondering where would i be able to
locate the correct .mtz file to input into Refmac5 for rounds of
refinement? I was under the impression the .mtz file used for
refinement was the one produced after scaling, but im not sure where
phenix puts this.
Also I was wondering if anyone had any issues with phenix.xtriage
carrying out its Matthews coefficient calculation? When using Phenix,
it gave me a solution with 3 mols/AU, despite there being 4 mols/AU
according to the Matthews coeffiecient calculation in CCP4. Looking
back at the xtriage log in autosol it has n_residues= 200 (despite me
not specifying anywhere the number of residues, my protein has 147
residues). Realising this I re-ran Autosol, inputting my .mtz file
along with my sequence this time, and specifying the number of NCS
copies as 4. Looking at the phenix.xtriage log this time results in it
recognising the correct number of residues, however the matthews
coefficient calculation is still incorrect, claiming 1 mol/Au. Any
ideas what may be the problem?
