[phenixbb] AutoMR error

Hi,

I am getting the following error from AutoMR, which I am fairly certain is due to the deficiencies of my machine:

Python(2624) malloc: *** mmap(size=1665024000) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

While using the prior release of phenix, I was able to get a similar job to complete, which makes me curious.

I am running phenix 1.7-650 (GUI) on an Intel Mac with 4GB of RAM and OS 10.6.6.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Erik

I would recommend taking two passes; a low-resolution pass with short exposures and a high-resolution pass with longer exposures. Then merge the two, and you've got a complete dataset. If applicable, take three or more passes. MM

Hi,

I have a technical question that is not related to phenix, but I hope some expertise around may help me out.
I am intending to increase the exposure time to gain some resolution. At the same time I do not want too many over exposed peak.  The question comes to at what percentage of the saturated peaks is acceptable? Many thanks.

If you start losing completeness at low resolution, just collect a low
resolution pass (i.e. exactly the same frames but with short exposures).
Be mindful of radiation damage though.

Hi,

I am refining a crystal structure of a protein with 198 amino acids at
1.59 A resolution.
I have used the function Update waters in phenix. After visual
inspection of the found water molecules I deleted some of them, but
there are still 334 water molecules left which show reasonable
electron density. Many of them interacts just with other water
molecules and not with the protein.
I calculated the average B of water molecules = 26.3 and protein = 12.6.
Now I am wondering if the number of water molecules and their average
B value is to high with respect to the protein and would be very
pleased about your answers.

With best regards,
Ina

Dear Ina Lindemann
These are problems of the rich people...
Be happy and why not, after all your resolution is ~1.6 A
I would say that you have not enough water molecules. In such resolution and such molecular size
I would expect about 2 or even 3 water molecules per residue. So you are missing 198*2-334=62 water molecules.
As a frequent reviewer I would not let a paper describing such structure to pass!  ;-) ;-)

COURSE ANNOUCEMENT

EMBO 2011 Practical Course - Exploiting Anomalous Scattering in
Macromolecular Structure Determination
ESRF-EMBL, Grenoble, France, 6 - 10 June 2011


The EMBO 2011 Practical Course on Exploiting Anomalous Scattering in
Macromolecular Structure Determination will be hosted by the ESRF in
Grenoble, France from 6 to 10, June 2011. The course aims to impart
the theoretical and practical basis for the 3-dimensional structure
determination of bio-macromolecules using Anomalous Dispersion
techniques (SAD & MAD) to young scientists who intend to apply these
methods in macromolecular crystallography.

Through a series of lectures, software demonstrations, practicals on
the ESRF beamlines and tutorials, participants will get insights into
all aspects of the structure determination process including beamline
instrumentation, data collection and processing, heavy atom
substructure determination, phasing and model building. There will
also be sessions focusing on automated structure solution procedures
and newer methods. Additional sessions will include presentations of
distinguished structures solved with these techniques.


Confirmed invited speakers include:
G. Bunkoczi, A. Cameron, D. Chirgadze, Z. Dauter, P. Evans, M.
Grininger, T. Gruene,
W. Kabsch, S. Panjikar, N. Pannu, A. Popov, H. Powell, L. Sazanov, G.
Sheldrick, T. Terwilliger, C. Vonrhein


The number of participants is limited to 20 and the deadline for
application is February 28th, 2011.
Additional information, course programme and instructions to apply to
the course can be found in the course webpages:
