parallel_autobuild: Tom Terwilliger

Purpose

The goal of parallel_autobuild is to build models starting from very poor maps. In this situation most of the models created by autobuild are not very good, but some will be a little better than others. The strategy is to find these slightly-better models and iterate model-building based on them.

The working hypothesis for parallel_autobuild is that the quality of the starting map is a key determinant of how good the final model will be. The strategy is then to take a starting map and data, get the best model from this starting point, and use it to calculate a new starting map that is hopefully a little better than the first one. Iterating this process may finally lead to a starting map that is good enough to yield a complete model.

How parallel autobuild works

parallel_autobuild is a tool to carry out the process of picking good models from many autobuild runs automatically. It will run parallel jobs of phenix.autobuild, identify the best model and the corresponding map, then take the best map as the starting point for another cycle of building.

The choice of what is the best model is not always obvious. Parallel_autobuild uses the R-values of the models to make this choice if the R is less than 0.50 (by default), and if all R-values are higher, the map correlation of each model to its corresponding density-modified map is used to make the choice.

Inputs for parallel autobuild

The inputs for parallel autobuild are the same as for autobuild, with the addition of a few control parameters. Also parallel autobuild requires you to specify what each input file is (it won't guess). The main parameters are the number of processors to use, the number of overall cycles, and the number of parallel autobuild jobs to be run in each cycle. The number of processors available for each autobuild job then determines how many models are built in each autobuild cycle.

You can also specify whether the model obtained on each cycle is to be used in the next cycle (by default, if you supply a starting model the model obtained each cycle is used, and if you do not, it is tossed and only the new map is used.)

A run_command keyword allows you to specify how jobs are to be run. Parallel autobuild can be run on a queueing system (with a command such as qsub) or on a multiprocessor machine (e.g., with sh).

Possible Problems

Please note that for parallel_autobuild the input data file must be an MTZ file and it must have columns for FP SIGFP FreeR_flag. A convenient way to create the right file is to run phenix.autobuild with your data (you don't need to let it finish, just get started), then use the exptl_fobs_freeR_flags.mtz (or overall_best.refine_data.mtz) it creates as your data file for phenix.parallel_autobuild.

Specific limitations:

Parallel_autobuild does not recombine models from different parallel runs. It is possible that the use of phenix.combine_models with parallel_autobuild could further improve its performance.

This can be helpful on NFS-mounted systems when running with multiple processors to avoid file conflicts. The symptom of too short a wait_between_submit_time is File exists:....
  • average_map_coeffs_each_cycle = None You can use the average map coeffs from all runs in a cycle as input to the next cycle (as opposed to just the map coeffs for the best model). Default is True unless one model has an R at least big_difference_in_r better than the average model.
  • big_difference_in_r = 0.10 Used to decide whether average_map_coeffs_each_cycle is used. Default average_map_coeffs_each_cycle is True unless one model has an R at least big_difference_in_r better than the average model
  • density_modify_average_map_coeffs = True You can density modify the average map coeffs (if used).
  • update_model_each_cycle = None You can specify whether the model obtained each cycle is to be used in the next cycle. Default is True if a model is supplied at the beginning and False otherwise.
  • sufficient_ratio_finished = 0.75 You can reduce the possibility of the whole parallel set of jobs hanging by allowing parallel_autobuild to ignore any jobs that run longer than run_time_ratio times the longest successful jobs once the number of successful jobs is sufficient_ratio_finished of the total number of jobs
  • run_time_ratio = 1.5 You can reduce the possibility of the whole parallel set of jobs hanging by allowing parallel_autobuild to ignore any jobs that run longer than run_time_ratio times the longest successful jobs once the number of successful jobs is sufficient_ratio_finished of the total number of jobs
• autobuild
  • data = None Datafile. This file can be a .sca or mtz or other standard file. The Wizard will guess the column identification. You can specify the column labels to use with: input_labels='FP SIGFP PHIB FOM HLA HLB HLC HLD FreeR_flag' Substitute any labels you do not have with None. If you only have myFP and mysigFP you can just say input_labels='myFP mysigFP'. If you have free R flags, phase information or HL coefficients that you want to use then an mtz file is required. If this file contains phase information, this phase information should be experimental (i.e., MAD/SAD/MIR etc), and should not be density-modified phases (enter any files with density-modified phases as input_map_file instead). NOTE: If you supply HL coefficients they will be used in phase recombination. If you supply PHIB or PHIB and FOM and not HL coefficients, then HL coefficients will be derived from your PHIB and FOM and used in phase recombination. If you also specify a hires data file, then FP and SIGFP will come from that data file (and not this one) If an input_refinement_file is specified, then F, Sigma, FreeR_flag (if present) from that file will be used for refinement instead of this one.
  • model = None PDB file with starting model. NOTE: If your PDB file has been previously refined, then please make sure that you provide the free R flags that were used in that refinement. These can come from the data file or from the refinement_file.
  • seq_file = Auto Text file with 1-letter code of protein sequence. Separate chains with a blank line or line starting with >. Normally you should include one copy of each unique chain. NOTE: if 1 copy of each unique chain is provided it is assumed that there are ncs_copies (could be 1) of each unique chain. If more than one copy of any chain is provided it is assumed that the asymmetric unit contains the number of copies of each chain that are given, multiplied by ncs_copies. So if the sequence file has two copies of the sequence for chain A and one of chain B, the cell contents are assumed to be ncs_copies*2 of chain A and ncs_copies of chain B. If there are unequal numbers of copies of chains, be sure to set solvent_fraction. ADDITIONAL NOTES: 1. lines starting with > are ignored and separate chains 2. FASTA format is fine 3. If you enter a PDB file for rebuilding and it has the sequence you want, then the sequence file is not necessary. NOTE: You can also enter the name of a PDB file that contains SEQRES records, and the sequence from the SEQRES records will be read, written to seq_from_seqres_records.dat, and used as your input sequence. If you have a duplex DNA, enter each strand as a separate chain. NOTE 1: for AutoBuild you can specify start_chains_list on the first line of your sequence file: >> start_chains_list 23 11 5 NOTE 2. Characters such as numbers and non-printing characters in the sequence file are ignored. NOTE 3. Be sure that your sequence file does not have any blank lines in the middle of your sequence, as these are interpreted as the beginning of another chain.
  • map_file = Auto MTZ file containing starting map. This file must be a mtz file. The Wizard will guess the column identification. You can specify the column labels to use with: input_map_labels='FP PHIB FOM' Substitute any labels you do not have with None. If you only have myFP and myPHIB you can just say input_map_labels='myFP myPHIB'. This map will be used in the first cycle of model-building. NOTE 1: If use_map_file_as_hklstart=True then this file will be used instead to start density modification. NOTE 2: default for this keyword is Auto, which means "carry out normal process to guess this keyword". This means if you specify "after_autosol" in AutoBuild, AutoBuild will automatically take the value from AutoSol. If you do not want this to happen, you can specify None which means "No file"
  • refinement_file = Auto File for refinement. This file can be a .sca or mtz or other standard file. This file will be merged with your data file, with any phase information coming from your data file. If this file has free R flags, they will be used, otherwise if the data file has them, those will be used, otherwise they will be generated. The Wizard will guess the column identification. You can specify the column labels to use with: input_refinement_labels='FP SIGFP FreeR_flag' Substitute any labels you do not have with None. If you only have myFP and mysigFP you can just say input_refinement_labels='myFP mysigFP'. Data file to use for refinement. The data in this file should not be corrected for anisotropy. It will be combined with experimental phase information (if any) from input_data_file for refinement. If you leave this blank, then the data in the input_data_file will be used in refinement. If no anisotropy correction is applied to the data you do not need to specify a datafile for refinement. If an anisotropy correction is applied to the data files, then you should enter an uncorrected datafile for refinement. Any standard format is fine; normally only F and sigF will be used. Bijvoet pairs and duplicates will be averaged. If an mtz file is provided then a free R flag can be read in as well. Any HL coeffs and phase information in this file is ignored. NOTE: default for this keyword is Auto, which means "carry out normal process to guess this keyword". This means if you specify "after_autosol" in AutoBuild, AutoBuild will automatically take the value from AutoSol. If you do not want this to happen, you can specify None which means "No file"
  • hires_file = Auto File with high-resolution data. This file can be a .sca or mtz or other standard file. The Wizard will guess the column identification. You can specify the column labels to use with: input_hires_labels='FP SIGFP'.
  • crystal_info
    • unit_cell = None Enter cell parameter (a b c alpha beta gamma)
    • space_group = None Space Group symbol (i.e., C2221 or C 2 2 21)
    • solvent_fraction = None Solvent fraction in crystals (0 to 1). This is normally set automatically from the number of NCS copies and the sequence. If your has unequal numbers of different chains, then be sure to set the solvent fraction.
    • chain_type = *Auto PROTEIN DNA RNA You can specify whether to build protein, DNA, or RNA chains. At present you can only build one of these in a single run. If you have both DNA and protein, build one first, then run AutoBuild again, supplying the prebuilt model in the "input_lig_file_list" and build the other. NOTE: default for this keyword is Auto, which means "carry out normal process to guess this keyword". The process is to look at the sequence file and/or input pdb file to see what the chain type is. If there are more than one type, the type with the larger number of residues is guessed. If you want to force the chain_type, then set it to PROTEIN RNA or DNA.
    • resolution = 0 High-resolution limit. Used as resolution limit for density modification and as general default high-resolution limit. If resolution_build or refinement_resolution are set then they override this for model-building or refinement. If overall_resolution is set then data beyond that resolution is ignored completely. Zero means keep everything.
    • dmax = 500 Low-resolution limit
    • overall_resolution = 0 If overall_resolution is set, then all data beyond this is ignored. NOTE: this is only suggested if you have a very big cell and need to truncate the data to allow the wizard to run at all. Normally you should use 'resolution' and 'resolution_build' and 'refinement_resolution' to set the high-resolution limit
    • sequence = None Plain text containing 1-letter code of protein sequence Same as seq_file except the sequence is read directly, not from a file. If both are given, seq_file is ignored.
  • input_files
    • input_labels = None Labels for input data columns
    • input_hires_labels = None Labels for input hires file (FP SIGFP FreeR_flag)
    • input_map_labels = None Labels for input map coefficient columns (FP PHIB FOM) NOTE: FOM is optional (set to None if you wish)
    • input_refinement_labels = None Labels for input refinement file columns (FP SIGFP FreeR_flag)
    • input_ha_file = None If the flag "truncate_ha_sites_in_resolve" is set then density at sites specified with input_ha_file is truncated to improve the density modification procedure. Additionally these sites are added to input_lig_file_list. NOTE: if the chain ID for atoms in this file is A then the chain ID will be renamed to Z so that the residue number and chain ID combination does not duplicate residues to be built. NOTE: if a hires_file is supplied, this input_ha_file and also any atoms in chain Z of input PDB file will be ignored unless force_input_ha is set to True.
    • force_input_ha = False If a hires_file is supplied, input_ha_file and any atoms in chain Z of input pdb file will be ignored unless force_input_ha is set to True.
    • include_ha_in_model = True Add contents of input_ha_file to the working model just before refinement (by adding it to input_lig_file_list).
    • cif_def_file_list = None You can enter any number of CIF definition files. These are normally used to tell phenix.refine about the geometry of a ligand or unusual residue. You usually will use these in combination with "PDB file with metals/ligands" (keyword "input_lig_file_list" ) which allows you to attach the contents of any PDB file you like to your model just before it gets refined. You can use phenix.elbow to generate these if you do not have a CIF file and one is requested by phenix.refine
    • input_lig_file_list = None This script adds the contents of these PDB files to each model just prior to refinement. Normally you might use this to put in any heavy-atoms that are in the refined structure (for example the heavy atoms that were used in phasing), or to add a ligand to your model. (By default if you supply input_ha_file this will be added to your input_lig_file_list.) If the atoms in this PDB file are not recognized by phenix.refine, then you can specify their geometries with a cif definitions file using the keyword "cif_def_files_list". You can easily generate cif definitions for many ligands using phenix.elbow in PHENIX. You can put anything you like in the files in input_lig_file_list, but any atoms that fall within 1.5 A of any atom in the current model will be tossed (not written to the model).
    • keep_input_ligands = True You can choose whether to (by default) let the wizard keep ligands by separating them out from the rest of your model and adding them back to your rebuilt model, or alternatively to remove all ligands from your input pdb file before rebuild_in_place.
    • keep_input_waters = False You can choose whether to keep input waters (solvent) when using rebuild_in_place. If you keep them, then you should specify either "place_waters=No" or "keep_pdb_atoms=No" because if place_waters=True and keep_pdb_atoms=True then phenix.refine will add waters and then the wizard will keep the new waters from the new PDB file created by phenix.refine preferentially over the ones in your input file.
    • keep_pdb_atoms = True If true, keep the model coordinates when model and ligand coordinates are within dist_close_overlap and ligands in input_lig_file_list are being added to the current model. If false, keep instead the ligand coordinates.
    • remove_residues_on_special_positions = False If true, remove any residues with atoms on special positions just before refinement.
    • refine_eff_file_list = None You can enter any number of refinement parameter files. These are normally used to tell phenix.refine defaults to apply, as well as creating specialized definitions such as unusual amino acid residues and linkages. These parameters override the normal phenix.refine defaults. They themselves can be overridden by parameters set by the Wizard and by you, controlling the Wizard. NOTE: Any parameters set by AutoBuild directly (such as number_of_macro_cycles, high_resolution, etc...) will not be taken from this parameters file. This is useful only for adding extra parameters not normally set by AutoBuild.
    • map_file_is_density_modified = True You can specify that the input_map_file has been density modified. (This changes the assumptions on statistics of the map.)
    • map_file_fom = None You can specify the FOM of the input map file (useful in cases where the map file has only FWT PHFWT and no FOM column). This FOM is used to set the default smoothing radius for the density modification solvent boundary and also to decide whether extreme density modification is to be applied
    • use_constant_input_map = False You can use the input map file for all model-building
    • use_map_file_as_hklstart = None You can specify that the file named as input_map_file will be used as starting coefficients for density modification in the first cycle. NOTE: if maps_only=True and input_map_file is set, then use_map_file_as_hklstart will be set to True
    • use_map_in_resolve_with_model = False You can specify that the current map file be used as hklstart in density modification with a model.
    • identity_from_remark = True You can use sequence identity from remark like this one: REMARK PHASER ENSEMBLE MODEL 0 ID 100.0 Here the identity is 100 percent. Ignored if there is no remark of this kind in the input model.
    • input_data_type = None You can specify the data type for shelx files. The options are: amplitudes (same as hklf3) or intensities (same as hklf4)
  • aniso
    • remove_aniso = True Remove anisotropy from data files before use Note: map files are assumed to be already corrected and are not affected by this. Also the input refinement file is not affected by this.
    • b_iso = None Target overall B value for anisotropy correction. Ignored if remove_aniso = False. If None, default is minimum of (max_b_iso, lowest B of datasets, target_b_ratio*resolution)
    • max_b_iso = 40. Default maximum overall B value for anisotropy correction. Ignored if remove_aniso = False. Ignored if b_iso is set. If used, default is minimum of (max_b_iso, lowest B of datasets, target_b_ratio*resolution)
    • target_b_ratio = 10. Default ratio of target B value to resolution for anisotropy correction. Ignored if remove_aniso = False. Ignored if b_iso is set. If used, default is minimum of (max_b_iso, lowest B of datasets, target_b_ratio*resolution)
  • decision_making
    • acceptable_r = 0.25 Used to decide whether the model is acceptable enough to quit if it is not improving much. A good value is 0.25
    • r_switch = 0.4 R-value criteria for deciding whether to use R-value or map correlation as a criteria for model quality. A good value is 0.40
    • semi_acceptable_r = 0.3 Used to decide whether the model is acceptable enough to skip rebuilding the model from scratch and focus on adding loops and extending it. A good value is 0.3
    • reject_weak = False You can rebuild or remove just the residues in weak density This will reject residues with density < 0.5 * mean - SD where the density, mean and SD are for either main-chain or all atoms in residues. If set, overrides min_cc_res_rebuild and worst_percent_res_rebuild.
    • min_weak_z = 0.2 Minimum number of sd of rho above 0.5*mean of all residues for keeping weak residues if reject_weak=True
    • min_cc_res_rebuild = 0.4 You can rebuild just the worst parts of your model by setting touch_up=True. You can decide what parts to rebuild based on a minimum model-map correlation (by residue). You can decide how much to rebuild using worst_percent_res_rebuild or with min_cc_res_rebuild, or both.
    • min_seq_identity_percent = 50 The sequence in your input PDB file will be adjusted to match the sequence in your sequence file (if any). If there are insertions/deletions in your model and the wizard does not seem to identify them, you can split up your PDB file by adding records like this: BREAK You can specify the minimum sequence identity between your sequence file and a segment from your input PDB file to consider the sequences to be matched. Default is 50.0%. You might want a higher number to make sure that deletions in the sequence are noticed.
    • dist_close = None If main-chain atom rmsd is less than dist_close then crossover between chains in different models is allowed at this point. If you input a negative number the defaults will be used
    • dist_close_overlap = 1.5 Model or ligand coordinates but not both are kept when model and ligand coordinates are within dist_close_overlap and ligands in input_lig_file_list are being added to the current model. NOTE: you might want to decrease this if your ligand atoms get removed by the wizard. Default=1.5 A
    • loop_cc_min = 0.4 You can specify the minimum correlation of density from a loop with the map.
    • group_ca_length = 4 In resolve building you can specify how short a fragment to keep. Normally 4 or 5 residues should be the minimum.
    • group_length = 2 In resolve building you can specify how many fragments must be joined to make a connected group that is kept. Normally 2 fragments should be the minimum.
    • include_molprobity = False This command is currently disabled. You can choose to include the clash score from MolProbity as one of the scoring criteria in comparing and merging models. The score is combined with the model-map correlation CC by summing in a weighted clashscore. If clashscore for a residue has a value < ok_molp_score then its value is (clashscore-ok_molp_score)*scale_molp_score, otherwise its value is zero.
    • ok_molp_score = None You can choose to include the clash score from MolProbity as one of the scoring criteria in comparing and merging models. The score is combined with the model-map correlation CC by summing in a weighted clashscore. If clashscore for a residue has a value < ok_molp_score (the threshold defined by ok_molp_score) then its value is (clashscore-ok_molp_score)*scale_molp_score, otherwise its value is zero.
    • scale_molp_score = None You can choose to include the clash score from MolProbity as one of the scoring criteria in comparing and merging models. The score is combined with the model-map correlation CC by summing in a weighted clashscore. If clashscore for a residue has a value < ok_molp_score then its value is (clashscore-ok_molp_score)*scale_molp_score, otherwise its value is zero.
  • density_modification
    • add_classic_denmod = None You can run classic density modification with solvent flipping after any other kind of density modification. Note: this keyword cannot be used with an omit map. Note also: requires experimental phases (HL coeffs). Default is False unless extreme_dm=True and FOM is less than fom_for_extreme_dm.
    • skip_classic_if_worse_fom = True Skip results of add_classic_denmod if FOM gets worse during density modification
    • skip_ncs_in_add_classic = True Skip using NCS in add_classic_denmod (speeds it up)
    • thorough_denmod = *Auto True False Choose whether you want to go for thorough density modification when no model is used (&quot;False&quot; speeds it up and for a terrible map is sometimes better)
    • hl = False You can choose whether to calculate hl coeffs when doing density modification (True) or not to do so (False). Default is No.
    • mask_type = *histograms probability wang classic Choose method for obtaining probability that a point is in the protein vs solvent region. Default is &quot;histograms&quot;. If you have a SAD dataset with a heavy atom such as Pt or Au then you may wish to choose &quot;wang&quot; because the histogram method is sensitive to very high peaks. Options are: histograms: compare local rms of map and local skew of map to values from a model map and estimate probabilities. This one is usually the best. probability: compare local rms of map to distribution for all points in this map and estimate probabilities. In a few cases this one is much better than histograms. wang: take points with highest local rms and define as protein. Classic runs classical density modification with solvent flipping.
    • mask_from_pdb = None You can specify a PDB file to define a mask for the macromolecule in density modification (i.e., the solvent boundary). All points within rad_mask_from_pdb of an atom in the PDB file defined by mask_from_pdb will be considered to be within the macromolecule
    • mask_type_extreme_dm = histograms probability *wang classic If FOM of phasing is less up to fom_for_extreme_dm_rebuild then defaults for density modification become: mask_type=wang wang_radius=20 mask_cycles=1 minor_cycles=4. Applies to rebuild stages of autobuild. For build use instead fom_for_extreme_dm
    • mask_cycles_extreme_dm = 1 Mask cycles in extreme density modification
    • minor_cycles_extreme_dm = 4 Minor cycles in extreme density modification
    • wang_radius_extreme_dm = 20. Wang radius in extreme density modification
    • precondition = False Precondition density before modification
    • minimum_ncs_cc = 0.30 Minimum NCS correlation to keep, except in case of extreme_dm
    • extreme_dm = False Turns on extreme density modification if True or if Auto and FOM is up to fom_for_extreme_dm Use extreme_dm=True if your phasing is really weak and density modification is not working well. Note: requires input phase information (HL coeffs). Also note: not compatible with ps_in_rebuild, two_fofc_in_rebuild, or two_fofc_denmod_in_rebuild.
    • fom_for_extreme_dm_rebuild = 0.10 If extreme_dm is on and FOM of phasing is up to fom_for_extreme_dm_rebuild then defaults for density modification become: mask_type=mask_type_extreme_dm wang_radius=wang_radius_extreme_dm mask_cycles=mask_cycles_extreme_dm minor_cycles=minor_cycles_extreme_dm Applies to rebuild stages of autobuild. For build use instead fom_for_extreme_dm
    • fom_for_extreme_dm = 0.35 If extreme_dm is on and FOM of phasing is up to fom_for_extreme_dm then defaults for density modification become: mask_type=wang wang_radius=20 mask_cycles=1 minor_cycles=4. Applies to build stages of autobuild. For rebuild use instead fom_for_extreme_dm_rebuild
    • rad_mask_from_pdb = 2 You can define the radius for calculation of the protein mask Applies only to mask_from_pdb
    • modify_outside_delta_solvent = 0.05 You can set the initial solvent content to be a little lower than calculated when you are running modify_outside_model Usually 0.05 is fine.
    • modify_outside_model = False You can choose whether to modify the density in the &quot;protein&quot; region outside the region specified in your current model by matching histograms with the region that is specified by that model. This can help by raising the density in this protein region up to a value similar to that where atoms are already placed.
    • truncate_ha_sites_in_resolve = *Auto True False You can choose to truncate the density near heavy-atom sites at a maximum of 2.5 sigma. This is useful in cases where the heavy-atom sites are very strong, and rarely hurts in cases where they are not. The heavy-atom sites are specified with &quot;input_ha_file&quot; and the radius is rad_mask
    • rad_mask = None You can define the radius for calculation of the protein mask Applies only to truncate_ha_sites_in_resolve. Default is resolution of data.
    • s_step = None You can define the increment in s (1/resolution) for phase extension in resolve density modification. Default is 0.005
    • res_start = None You can define the resolution for starting phase extension resolve density modification. Default is resolution to which phase information is available. Please note res_start and map_dmin_start have different effects. The starting resolution within RESOLVE is set by res_start and the step within RESOLVE is set by s_step. These can be used with any density modification procedure. The keyword map_dmin_start creates a set of macro-cycles of RESOLVE density modification where the output map for each cycle is the input_map_file for the next. The map_dmin_start keyword only applies if maps_only=True and only applies to density modification without a model.
    • map_dmin_start = None Starting resolution for step-wise macro-cycle density modification. Only applies if maps_only=True and no model is supplied. Please note res_start and map_dmin_start have different effects. The starting resolution within RESOLVE is set by res_start and the step within RESOLVE is set by s_step. These can be used with any density modification procedure. The keyword map_dmin_start creates a set of macro-cycles of RESOLVE density modification where the output map for each cycle is the input_map_file for the next. The map_dmin_start keyword only applies if maps_only=True and only applies to density modification without a model.
    • map_dmin_incr = 0.25 Step size (A) for changes in resolution for macro-cycle density modification
    • use_resolve_fragments = True This script normally uses information from fragment identification as part of density modification for the first few cycles of model-building. Fragments are identified during model-building. The fragments are used, with weighting according to the confidence in their placement, in density modification as targets for density values.
    • use_resolve_pattern = True Local pattern identification is normally used as part of density modification during the first few cycles of model building.

Two sets of HL coefficients are produced by Phaser. HLA HLB etc are HL coefficients including the contribution of both the real scattering and the anomalous differences. HLanomA HLanomB etc are HL coefficients including the contribution of the anomalous differences alone. These HL coefficients for anomalous differences alone are the ones that you will want to use in cases where you are bringing in model information that includes the real scattering from the model used in Phaser, such as when you are carrying out density modification with a model or refinement of a model If use_hl_anom_in_denmod=True then the HLanom HL coefficients from Phaser are used in density modification

  • maps
    • maps_only = False You can choose whether to skip all model-building and just calculate maps and write out the results. This also runs just 1 cycle and turns on HL coefficients.
    • n_xyz_list = None You can specify the grid to use for map calculations.
  • model_building
    • build_type = *RESOLVE RESOLVE_AND_BUCCANEER You can choose to build models with RESOLVE or with RESOLVE and BUCCANEER #and TEXTAL and how many different models to build with RESOLVE. The more you build, the more likely to get a complete model. Note that rebuild_in_place can only be carried out with RESOLVE model-building. For BUCCANEER model building you need CCP4 version 6.1.2 or higher and BUCCANEER version 1.3.0 or higher
    • allow_negative_residues = False Normally the wizard does not allow negative residue numbers, and all residues with negative numbers are rejected when they are read in. You can allow them if you wish.
    • highest_resno = None Highest residue number to be considered &quot;placed&quot; in sequence for rebuild_in_place
    • semet = False You can specify that the dataset that is used for refinement is a selenomethionine dataset, and that the model should be the SeMet version of the protein, with all SD of MET replaced with Se of MSE.

    • base_model = None You can enter a PDB file with coordinates to be used as a starting point for model-building. These coordinates will be included in the same way as fragments placed by searching for helices and strand in initial model-building. Note the difference from the use of models in consider_main_chain_list, which are merged with models after they are built. NOTE: Only use this if you want to keep the input model and just add to it.
    • consider_main_chain_list = None This keyword lets you name any number of PDB files to consider as templates for model-building. Every time models are built, the contents of these files will be merged with them and the best parts will be kept. NOTE: this only uses the main-chain atoms of your PDB files.
    • dist_connect_max_helices = None Set maximum distance between ends of helices and other ends to try and connect them in insert_helices.
    • edit_pdb = True You can choose to edit the input PDB file in rebuild_in_place to match the input sequence (default=True). NOTE: residues with residue numbers higher than 'highest_resno' are assumed to not have a known sequence and will not be edited. By default the value of 'highest_resno' is the highest residue number from the sequence file, after adding it to the starting residue number from start_chains_list. You can also set it directly
    • helices_strands_only = False You can choose to use a quick model-building method that only builds secondary structure. At low resolution this may be both quicker and more accurate than trying to build the entire structure
    • resolution_helices_strands = 3.1 Resolution to switch to helices_strands_only
    • helices_strands_start = False You can choose to use a quick model-building method that builds secondary structure as a way to get started...then model completion is done as usual. (Contrast with helices_strands_only which only does secondary structure)

    • min_overlap = None Minimum number of residues from ends to start with. (1=use existing ends, 2=one in from ends etc)
    • include_input_model = True The keyword include_input_model defines whether the input model (if any) is to be crossed with models that are derived from it, and the best parts of each kept. It also defines whether the input model is to be included in combination steps during initial model-building. Note that if multiple_models=True and include_input_model=True then no initial cycle of randomization will be carried out and the keyword multiple_models_starting_resolution is ignored. In most cases you should use include_input_model=True If you want to generate maximum diversity with multiple-models then you may wish to use include_input_model=False. Also if you want to decrease the amount of bias from your starting model you may wish to use include_input_model=False.
    • input_compare_file = None If you are rebuilding a model or already think you know what the model should be, you can include a comparison file in rebuilding. The model is not used for anything except to write out information on coordinate differences in the output log files. NOTE: this feature does not always work correctly.
    • merge_models = False You can choose to only merge any input models and write out the resulting model. The best parts of each model will be kept based on model-map correlation. Normally used along with number_of_parallel_models=1
    • morph = False You can choose whether to distort your input model in order to match the current working map. This may be useful for MR models that are quite distant from the correct structure.
    • morph_main = False You can choose whether to use only main-chain atoms plus c-beta atoms in calculation of shifts in morphing. Default is morph_main=False; use all atoms including side-chain atoms.

    • morph_cycles = 2 Number of iterations of morphing each time it is run.
    • morph_rad = 7 Smoothing radius for morphing. The density from your model and from the map are calculated with the radius rad_morph, then they are adjusted to overlap optimally
    • n_ca_enough_helices = None Set maximum number of CA to add to ends of helices and other ends to try and connect them in insert_helices.
    • delta_phi = 20 Approximate angular sampling for search for regular secondary structure in building
    • offsets_list = 53 7 23 You can specify an offset for the orientation of the helix and strand templates in building. This is used in generating different starting models.
    • all_maps_in_rebuild = False If two_fofc_in_rebuild or two_fofc_denmod_in_rebuild are set you can choose to try both density-modified and two_fofc-based maps in building. Note: Set to True if you specify rebuild_from_fragments=True. Note: not compatible with map_phasing=True.
    • ps_in_rebuild = False You can choose to use a prime-and-switch resolve map in all cycles of rebuilding instead of a density-modified map. This is normally used in combination with maps_only to generate a prime-and-switch map. The map coeffs will be in prime_and_switch.mtz
    • use_ncs_in_ps = False You can choose to use NCS in prime-and-switch
    • remove_outlier_segments_z_cut = 3.0 You can remove any segments that are not assigned to sequence during model-building if the mean density at atomic positions are more than remove_outlier_segments_z_cut sd lower than the mean for the structure.
    • refine = True This script normally refines the model during building. Say False to skip refinement
    • refine_final_model_vs_orig_data = True This script normally refines the model at the end against the original (non-aniso-corrected) data and writes out a CIF version of the model as well
    • reference_model = None You can specify a reference model for refinement
    • resolution_build = None Enter the high-resolution limit for model-building. If None, the value of resolution (or 2 A if better than 2 A) is used as a default.
    • restart_cycle_after_morph = 5 Morphing (if morph=True) will go only up to this cycle, and then the morphed PDB file will be used as a starting PDB file from then on, removing all previous models. If restart_cycle_after_morph=0 then the model will be morphed and not rebuilt
    • retrace_before_build = False You can choose to retrace your model n_mini times and use a map based on these retraced models to start off model-building. This is the default for rebuilding models if you are not using rebuild_in_place. You can also specify n_iter_rebuild, the number of cycles of retrace-density-modify-build before starting the main build.
    • reuse_chain_prev_cycle = True You can choose to allow model-building to include atoms from each cycle in the model the next cycle or not This must be true if you use retrace_before_build
    • richardson_rotamers = *Auto True False You can choose to use the rotamer library from SC Lovell, JM Word, JS Richardson and DC Richardson (2000) &quot; The Penultimate Rotamer Library&quot; Proteins: Structure Function and Genetics 40 389-408. if you wish. Typically this works well in RESOLVE model-building for nearly-final models but not as well earlier in the process . Default (Auto) is to use these rotamers for rebuild_in_place but not otherwise.
    • rms_random_frag = None Rms random position change added to residues on ends of fragments when extending them If you enter a negative number, defaults will be used.
    • rms_random_loop = None Rms random position change added to residues on ends of loops in tries for building loops If you enter a negative number, defaults will be used.
    • start_chains_list = None You can specify the starting residue number for each of the unique chains in your structure. If you use a sequence file then the unique chains are extracted and the order must match the order of your starting residue numbers. For example, if your sequence file has chains A and B (identical) and chains C and D (identical to each other, but different than A and B) then you can enter 2 numbers, the starting residues for chains A and C. NOTE: you need to specify an input sequence file for start_chains_list to be applied.
    • trace_as_lig = False You can specify that in building steps the ends of chains are to be extended using the LigandFit algorithm. This is default for nucleic acid model-building.
    • track_libs = False You can keep track of what libraries each atom in a built structure comes from.
    • two_fofc_denmod_in_rebuild = False You can choose to use a density-modified sigmaa-weighted 2Fo-Fc map in all cycles of rebuilding instead of a density-modified map. In density modification the density in the region defined by the current model will be truncated at +2sigma to reduce the dominance of parts of the map with model defined. Additionaly only 2 mask cycles of 3 minor cycles will be done. Additionally place_waters will be turned off. If the model is highly incomplete this can sometimes allow model-building to work even when it will not for density-modified maps. The map coeffs will be in two_fofc_denmod_map.mtz. You might consider turning on all_maps_in_rebuild as well. Note: Setting two_fofc_denmod_in_rebuild=True will by default set place_waters=False. Set to True if you specify rebuild_from_fragments=True.
    • rebuild_from_fragments = False You can use rebuild_from_fragments=True as a shortcut to turn on two_fofc_denmod_in_rebuild and all_maps_in_rebuild and to use your model in each cycle with consider_main_chain_list. If you use rebuild_from_fragments=True you might also want to set i_ran_seed=xxxxx for some integer xxxxx and run the job 10 or 20 times to have a higher chance of success. This approach is designed for cases where you have a small part of your model very accurately placed and want to build the rest of the model.
    • two_fofc_in_rebuild = False You can choose to use a sigmaa-weighted 2Fo-Fc map in all cycles of rebuilding instead of a density-modified map. If the model is poor this can sometimes allow model-building in place to work even when it will not for density-modified maps.
    • refine_map_coeff_labels = "2FOFCWT PH2FOFCWT" You can pick which map coefficients from phenix.refine to use if two_fofc_in_rebuild=True
    • filled_2fofc_maps = True You can choose to use filled 2Fo-Fc maps when two_fofc_in_rebuild is used. Default is True
    • map_phasing = False You can choose to use statistical density modification starting with a 2mFo-DFc map, including model information instead of a standard density-modified map with model information. This density modification will include NCS if present. Note: not compatible with all_maps_in_rebuild=True
    • use_any_side = True You can choose to have resolve model-building place the best-fitting side chain at each position, even if the sequence is not matched to the map.
    • truncate_missing_side_chains = None You can choose to truncate side chains with missing density at CB or equivalent. Missing density means average density at the side chain atoms is less than zero. Default is False for rebuild_in_place=True and True for rebuild_in_place=False.
    • use_cc_in_combine_extend = False You can choose to use the correlation of density rather than density at atomic positions to score models in combine_extend
    • sort_hetatms = False Waters are automatically named with the chain of the closest macromolecule if you set sort_hetatms=True This is for the final model only.
    • map_to_object = None you can supply a target position for your model with map_to_object=my_target.pdb. Then at the very end your molecule will be placed as close to this as possible. The center of mass of the autobuild model will be superimposed on the center of mass of my_target.pdb using space group symmetry, taking any match closer than 15 A within 3 unit cells of the original position. The new file will be overall_best_mapped.pdb
  • multiple_models
    • combine_only = False Once you have created a set of initial models you can merge them together into a final set. This option is useful if you have split up the creation of multiple models into different directories, and then you have copied all the initial models to one directory for combining.
    • multiple_models = False You can build a set of models, all compatible with your data. You can specify how many models with multiple_models_number. If you are using rebuild_in_place you can specify whether to generate starting models or not with multiple_models_starting.
    • multiple_models_first = 1 Specify which model to build first
    • multiple_models_group_number = 5 You can build several initial models and merge them. Normally 5 initial models is fine.
    • multiple_models_last = 20 Specify which model to end with
    • multiple_models_number = 20 Specify how many models to build.
    • multiple_models_starting = True You can specify how to generate starting models for multiple models. If you are using rebuild_in_place and you specify &quot;True&quot; then the Wizard will rebuild your starting model at the resolution specified in multiple_models_starting_resolution. If you are not using rebuild_in_place the Wizard will always build a starting model at the current resolution.
    • multiple_models_starting_resolution = 4 You can set the resolution for rebuilding an initial model. A value of 0.0 will use the resolution of the dataset.
    • place_waters_in_combine = None You can choose whether phenix.refine automatically places ordered solvent (waters) during the last cycle of multiple-model generation. This is separate from place_waters, which applies to all other cycles. If None, then value of place_waters will be used.
  • ncs
    • find_ncs = *Auto True False This script normally deduces ncs information from the NCS in chains of models that are built during iterative model-building. The update is done each cycle in which an improved model is obtained. Say False to skip this. See also &quot;input_ncs_file&quot; which can be used to specify NCS at the start of the process. If find_ncs=&quot;No&quot; then only this starting NCS will be used and it will not be updated. You can use find_ncs &quot;No&quot; to specify exactly what residues will be used in NCS refinement and exactly what NCS operators to use in density modification. You can use the function $PHENIX/phenix/phenix/command_line/simple_ncs_from_pdb.py to help you set up an input_ncs_file that has your specifications in it. NOTE: if an input map_file is provided then if no ncs is found from a model, ncs will be searched for in the density of that map.
    • input_ncs_file = None You can enter NCS information in 3 ways: (1) an ncs_spec file produced by AutoSol or AutoBuild with NCS information (2) a heavy-atom PDB file that contains ncs in the heavy-atom sites (3) a PDB file with a model that contains chains with NCS The wizard will derive NCS information from any of these if specified. See also &quot;find_ncs&quot; which determines whether the wizard will update NCS from models that are built during iterative building.
    • ncs_copies = None Number of copies of the molecule in the au (note: only one type of molecule allowed at present)
    • ncs_refine_coord_sigma_from_rmsd = False You can choose to use the current NCS rmsd as the value of the sigma for NCS restraints. See also ncs_refine_coord_sigma_from_rmsd_ratio
    • ncs_refine_coord_sigma_from_rmsd_ratio = 1 You can choose to multiply the current NCS rmsd by this value before using it as the sigma for NCS restraints See also ncs_refine_coord_sigma_from_rmsd
    • no_merge_ncs_copies = False Normally False (do merge NCS copies). If True, then do not use each NCS copy to try to build the others.
    • optimize_ncs = True This script normally deduces ncs information from the NCS in chains of models that are built during iterative model-building. Optimize NCS adds a step to try and make the molecule formed by NCS as compact as possible, without losing any point-group symmetry.
    • use_ncs_in_build = True Use NCS information in the model assembly stage of model-building. Also if no_merge_ncs_copies is not set, then use each NCS copy to try to build the others.
    • ncs_in_refinement = *torsion cartesian None Use torsion_angle refinement of NCS. Alternative is cartesian or None (None will use phenix.refine default)
  • omit
    • composite_omit_type = *None simple_omit refine_omit sa_omit iterative_build_omit Your choices of types of OMIT maps are: None - normal operation, no omit simple_omit - omit the atoms in OMIT region in calculating a sigmaA-weighted 2mFo-DFc map with no refinement. refine_omit - as simple_omit, but refine with standard refinement. sa_omit - omit the atoms in OMIT region, carry out simulated-annealing refinement, then calculate a sigmaA-weighted 2mFo-DFc map. iterative_build_omit - set occupancy of atoms in OMIT region to 0 throughout an entire iterative model-building, density modification and refinement process (takes a long time). All these omit map types are available as composite omit maps (default) or as omit maps around a region defined by a PDB file (using omit_box_pdb_list) The resulting OMIT map will be in the directory OMIT with file name resolve_composite_map.mtz . This mtz file contains the map coefficients to create the OMIT map. The file &quot;omit_region.mtz&quot; contains the coefficients for a map showing the boundaries of the OMIT region.
    • n_box_target = None You can tell the Wizard how many omit boxes to try and set up (but it will not necessarily choose your number because it has to be nicely divisible into boxes that fit your asymmetric unit). A suitable number is 24. The larger the number of boxes, the better the map will be, but the longer it will take to calculate the map.
    • n_cycle_image_min = 3 Pattern recognition (resolve_pattern) and fragment identification (&quot;image based density modification&quot;) are used as part of the density modification process. These are normally only useful in the first few cycles of iterative model-building. This script tries model-building both with and without including image information, and proceeds with the most complete model. Once at least n_cycle_image_min cycles have been carried out with image information, if the image-based map results in a less-complete model than the one without image information, image information is no longer included.
    • n_cycle_rebuild_omit = 10 Model-building is normally carried out using the &quot;best&quot; available map. If omit_on_rebuild is True, then every n_cycle_rebuild_omit cycle of model rebuilding, a composite omit map is used instead. If you specify 0 and omit_on_rebuild is True, omit maps will be used every cycle. Normally every 10th cycle is optimal.
    • offset_boundary = 2. Specify the boundary in A around atoms in omit_box_pdb for definition of omit region. Contrast with omit_boundary which applies for composite omit
    • omit_boundary = 2. Specify the boundary in A around atoms in omit_boxes for definition of omit region. Contrast with offset_boundary which applies for omit_box_pdb
    • omit_box_start = 0 To only carry out omit in some of the omit boxes, use omit_box_start and omit_box_end
    • omit_box_end = 0 To only carry out omit in some of the omit boxes, use omit_box_start and omit_box_end
    • omit_box_pdb_list = None This keyword applies if you have set OMIT region specification to &quot;omit_around_pdb&quot;. To automatically set an OMIT region specify a PDB file(s) with omit_box_pdb_list. The omit region boundaries will be the limits in x y z of the atoms in this file, plus a border of offset_boundary. To use only some of the atoms in the file, specify values for starting, ending and chain to omit (omit_res_start_list and omit_res_end_list and omit_chain_list) If you specify more than one file (or if you specify more than one segment of a file with omit_chain_list or omit_res_start_list and omit_res_end_list) then a set of omit runs will be carried out and combined into one composite omit.
    • omit_chain_list = None You can choose to omit just a portion of your model keywords omit_res_start_list 3 omit_res_end_list 4 omit_chain_list chain1 (use &quot;&quot; to select all chains) The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be omitted. You can specify more than one region by listing them separated by spaces If you specify more than one region, a separate omit run will be carried out for each one and then the maps will be put together afterwards. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by omit_chain will be omitted NOTE: Zero for start and end and &quot;&quot; for chain is the same as choosing everything
    • omit_offset_list = 0 0 0 0 0 0 To carry out one iterative build omit, with a region defined in grid units, enter nxs,nxe,nys,nye,nzs,nze in omit_offset_list.
    • omit_on_rebuild = False You can specify whether to use an omit map for building the model on rebuild cycles. Default is True if you start with a model, False if you are building a model from scratch. The omit map is calculated every n_cycle_rebuild_omit cycles
    • omit_selection = None Selection string defining atoms in input pdb to be used to define the OMIT region. For use with omit_region_specification=omit_selection
    • omit_region_specification = *composite_omit omit_around_pdb omit_selection You can specify what region an omit (simple/sa-omit/iterative-build-omit) map is to be calculated for. Composite omit will create a map over the entire asymmetric unit by dividing the asymmetric unit into overlapping boxes, calculating omit maps for each, and splicing all the results together into a single composite omit map. You can tell the Wizard how many omit boxes to try and set up with the keyword &quot;n_box_target&quot; (but it will not necessarily choose your number because it has to be nicely divisible into boxes that fit your asymmetric unit). Omit around PDB will omit around the region defined by the PDB file(s) you enter for omit_box_pdb (or around the residues in that PDB file that you specify). If you specify omit_around_pdb then you must enter a pdb file to omit around. If you specify omit_selection you must enter a selection string in omit_selection
    • omit_res_start_list = None You can choose to omit just a portion of your model keywords omit_res_start_list 3 omit_res_end_list 4 omit_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank). The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be omitted. You can specify more more than one region by listing them separated by spaces If you specify more than one region, a separate omit run will be carried out for each one and then the maps will be put together afterwards. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by omit_chain will be rebuilt. NOTE: Zero for start and end and &quot;&quot; for chain is the same as choosing everything
    • omit_res_end_list = None You can choose to omit just a portion of your model keywords omit_res_start_list 3 omit_res_end_list 4 omit_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank). The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be omitted. You can specify more more than one region by listing them separated by spaces If you specify more than one region, a separate omit run will be carried out for each one and then the maps will be put together afterwards. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by omit_chain will be omitted NOTE: Zero for start and end and &quot;&quot; for chain is the same as choosing everything
  • rebuild_in_place
    • min_seq_identity_percent_rebuild_in_place = 95 Minimum sequence identity to use rebuild_in_place by default
    • n_cycle_rebuild_in_place = None Number of cycles for rebuild_in_place for multiple models only
    • n_rebuild_in_place = 1 You can choose how many times to rebuild your model in place with rebuild_in_place
    • rebuild_chain_list = None You can choose to rebuild just a portion of your model keywords rebuild_res_start_list 3 rebuild_res_end_list 4 rebuild_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank). The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be rebuilt. You can specify more than one region by using the Parameter Group Options button to add lines. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by rebuild_chain will be rebuilt. The smallest region that can be rebuilt is 4 residues.
    • rebuild_in_place = *Auto True False You can choose to rebuild your model while fixing the sequence alignment by iteratively rebuilding segments within the model. This is done n_rebuild_in_place times, then the models are recombined, taking the best-fitting parts of each. Crossovers allowed where main-chain atom rmsd is less than dist_close. Note that the sequence of the input model must match the supplied sequence closely enough to allow a clear alignment. Also this method does not build any new chain, it just moves the existing model around. Normally this procedure is useful if the model is greater than 95% identical with the target sequence. You can include information directly from the starting model if you want with the keyword include_input_model. Then this model will be recombined with the models that are built based on it. Note that this requires that the input model have a sequence that is identical to the model to be rebuilt. You can also rebuild just a portion of the model with the keywords keywords rebuild_res_start_list 3 rebuild_res_end_list 4 rebuild_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank) The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be rebuilt. You can specify more than one region by using the Parameter Group Options button to add lines NOTE: if a region cannot be rebuilt the original coordinates will be preserved for that region.
    • rebuild_near_chain = None You can specify where to rebuild either with rebuild_res_start_list rebuild_res_end_list rebuild_chain_list or with rebuild_near_res and rebuild_near_chain and rebuild_near_dist.
    • rebuild_near_dist = 7.5 You can specify where to rebuild either with rebuild_res_start_list rebuild_res_end_list rebuild_chain_list or with rebuild_near_res and rebuild_near_chain and rebuild_near_dist.
    • rebuild_near_res = None You can specify where to rebuild either with rebuild_res_start_list rebuild_res_end_list rebuild_chain_list or with rebuild_near_res and rebuild_near_chain and rebuild_near_dist.
    • rebuild_res_end_list = None You can choose to rebuild just a portion of your model keywords rebuild_res_start_list 3 rebuild_res_end_list 4 rebuild_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank). The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be rebuilt. You can specify more than one region by using the Parameter Group Options button to add lines. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by rebuild_chain will be rebuilt. The smallest region that can be rebuilt is 4 residues.
    • rebuild_res_start_list = None You can choose to rebuild just a portion of your model keywords rebuild_res_start_list 3 rebuild_res_end_list 4 rebuild_chain_list chain1 (use &quot; &quot; for blank). The residues from 3 to 4 of chain1 will be rebuilt. You can specify more than one region by using the Parameter Group Options button to add lines. If there are more than one chains in the input PDB file then only the chain defined by rebuild_chain will be rebuilt. The smallest region that can be rebuilt is 4 residues.
    • rebuild_side_chains = False You can choose to replace side chains (with extend_only) before rebuilding the model (not normally used)
    • redo_side_chains = True You can chooses to have AutoBuild choose whether to replace all your side chains in rebuild_in_place, taking new ones if they fit the density better. If True, this is applied to all side chains, not only those that are rebuilt.
    • replace_existing = True In rebuild_in_place the usual default is to force the replacement of all residues, even if the rebuilt ones are not as good a fit as the original. The rebuilt model is then crossed with the original model (if include_input_model=True) and the better parts of each are then kept. You can override the replacement of all residues in the initial model-building by saying &quot;False&quot; (do not force replacement of residues, keep whatever is better). Additionally if you set the &quot;touch_up&quot; flag then the default is &quot;True&quot;: keep whatever is better.
    • delete_bad_residues_only = False You can simply delete the worst parts of your model and write out the resulting model with delete_bad_residues_only=True The criteria used are the ones set with touch_up. Any residues that would be rebuild by touch_up=True will be deleted by delete_bad_residues_only. NOTE: delete_bad_residues_only ignores ligands, waters etc. so you may need to put them back in afterwards.
    • touch_up = False You can rebuild just the worst parts of your model by setting touch_up=True. You can decide what parts to rebuild based on an minimum model-map correlation (by residue). This is set with min_cc_residue_rebuild=0.82 Alternatively you can rebuild the worst percentage of these: worst_percent_res_rebuild=6. If a value is set for both of these then residues qualifying in either way are rebuilt. NOTE: touch_up is only available with rebuild_in_place.
    • touch_up_extra_residues = None Number of residues on each side of the residues identified in touch_up that you want to rebuild. Normally you will want to rebuild one or more on each side.
    • worst_percent_res_rebuild = 2 You can rebuild just the worst parts of your model by setting touch_up=True. You can decide how much to rebuild using worst_percent_res_rebuild or with min_cc_res_rebuild, or both.
    • smooth_range = None You can specify what number of residues to smooth in making choices for touch_up and delete_bad_residues_only Typically use 3 or 5.
    • smooth_minimum_length = None If specified, then any segments remaining after smoothing that are shorter than smooth_mininum_length will be removed.
  • refinement
    • refine_b = True You can choose whether phenix.refine is to refine individual atomic displacement parameters (B values)
    • refine_se_occ = True You can choose to refine the occupancy of SE atoms in a SEMET structure (default=True). This only applies if semet=true
    • skip_clash_guard = True Skip refinement check for atoms that clash Also skips check for side chains crossing special position ( allow_polymer_cross_special_position=True in refinement)
    • correct_special_position_tolerance = None Adjust tolerance for special position check. If 0., then check for clashes near special positions is not carried out. This sometimes allows phenix.refine to continue even if an atom is near a special position. If 1., then checks within 1 A of special positions. If None, then uses phenix.refine default. (1)
    • use_mlhl = True This script normally uses information from the input file (HLA HLB HLC HLD) in refinement. Say No to only refine on Fobs
    • generate_hl_if_missing = False This script normally uses information from the input file (HLA HLB HLC HLD) in refinement. Say No to not generate HL coeffs from input phases.
    • place_waters = True You can choose whether phenix.refine automatically places ordered solvent (waters) during the refinement process.
    • refinement_resolution = 0 Enter the high-resolution limit for refinement only. This high-resolution limit can be different than the high-resolution limit for other steps. The default (&quot;None&quot; or 0.0) is to use the overall high-resolution limit for this run (as set by resolution)
    • ordered_solvent_low_resolution = None You can choose what resolution cutoff to use fo placing ordered solvent in phenix.refine. If the resolution of refinement is greater than this cutoff, then no ordered solvent will be placed, even if refinement.main.ordered_solvent=True.
    • link_distance_cutoff = 3 You can specify the maximum bond distance for linking residues in phenix.refine called from the wizards.
    • r_free_flags_fraction = 0.1 Maximum fraction of reflections in the free R set. You can choose the maximum fraction of reflections in the free R set and the maximum number of reflections in the free R set. The number of reflections in the free R set will be up the lower of the values defined by these two parameters.
    • r_free_flags_max_free = 2000 Maximum number of reflections in the free R set. You can choose the maximum fraction of reflections in the free R set and the maximum number of reflections in the free R set. The number of reflections in the free R set will be up the lower of the values defined by these two parameters.
    • r_free_flags_use_lattice_symmetry = True When generating r_free_flags you can decide whether to include lattice symmetry (good in general, necessary if there is twinning).
    • r_free_flags_lattice_symmetry_max_delta = 5 You can set the maximum deviation of distances in the lattice that are to be considered the same for purposes of generating a lattice-symmetry-unique set of free R flags.
    • allow_overlapping = None Default is None (set automatically, normally False unless S or Se atoms are the anomalously-scattering atoms). You can allow atoms in your ligand files to overlap atoms in your protein/nucleic acid model. This overrides 'keep_pdb_atoms' Useful in early stages of model-building and refinement The ligand atoms get the altloc indicator 'L' NOTE: The ligand occupancy will be refined by default if you set allow_overlapping=True (because of the altloc indicator) You can turn this off with fix_ligand_occupancy=True
    • fix_ligand_occupancy = None If allow_overlapping=True then ligand occupancies are refined as a group. You can turn this off with fix_ligand_occupancy=true NOTE: has no effect if allow_overlapping=False
    • remove_outlier_segments = True You can remove any segments that are not assigned to sequence if their mean B values are more than remove_outlier_segments_z_cut sd higher than the mean for the structure. NOTE: this is done after refinement, so the R/Rfree are no longer applicable; the remarks in the PDB file are removed
    • twin_law = None You can specify a twin law for refinement like this: twin_law='-h,k,-l'
    • max_occ = None You can choose to set the maximum value of occupancy for atoms that have their occupancies refined. Default is None (use default value of 1.0 from phenix.refine)
    • refine_before_rebuild = True You can choose to refine the input model before rebuilding it
    • refine_with_ncs = True This script can allow phenix.refine to automatically identify NCS and use it in refinement. NOTE: ncs refinement and placing waters automatically are mutually exclusive at present.
    • refine_xyz = True You can choose whether phenix.refine is to refine coordinates
    • s_annealing = False You can choose to carry out simulated annealing during the first refinement after initial model-building
    • skip_hexdigest = False You may wish to ignore the hexdigest of the free R flags in your input PDB file if (1) the dataset you provide is not identical to the one that you refined with (but has the same free R flags), or (2) you are providing both an input_data_file and an input_refinement_file or input_hires_file and. In the second case, the resulting composite file may not have the same hexdigest even though the free R flags are copied over. The default is to set skip_hexdigest=True for case #2. For case #1 you have to tell the Wizard to skip the hexdigest (because it cannot know about this).
    • use_hl_anom_in_refinement = False See use_hl_anom_in_denmod. If use_hl_anom_in_refinement=True then the HLanom HL coefficients from Phaser are used in refinement
    • use_hl_if_present = True You can turn off use of HL coeffs in refinement if you want. Default is to use them if present. Requires PHIB as well.
  • thoroughness
    • build_outside = True Define whether to use the BuildOutside module in model_building
    • connect = True Define whether to use the connect module in model_building. This module tries to connect nearby chains with loops, without using the sequence. This is different than fit_loops (which uses the sequence to identify the exact number of residues in the loop).
    • extensive_build = False You can choose whether to build a new model on every cycle and carry out extra model-building steps every cycle. Default is False (build a new model on first cycle, after that carry out extra steps).
    • fit_loops = True You can fit loops automatically if sequence alignment has been done.
    • insert_helices = True Define whether to use the insert_helices module in model_building. This module tries to insert helices identified with find_helices_strands into the current working model. This can be useful as the standard build sometimes builds strands into helical density at low resolution.
    • n_cycle_build = None Choose number of cycles of building and chain extension during each cycle of model-building. (default of 1 ).
    • n_cycle_build_max = 6 Maximum number of cycles for iterative model-building, starting from experimental phases without a model. Even if a satisfactory model is not found, a maximum of n_cycle_build_max cycles will be carried out.
    • n_cycle_build_min = 1 Minimum number of cycles for iterative model-building, starting from experimental phases without a model. Even if a satisfactory model is found, n_cycle_build_min cycles will be carried out.
    • n_cycle_rebuild_max = 15 Maximum number of cycles for iterative model-rebuilding, starting from a model. Even if a satisfactory model is not found, a maximum of n_cycle_rebuild_max cycles will be carried out.
    • n_cycle_rebuild_min = 1 Mininum number of cycles for iterative model-rebuilding, starting from a model. Even if a satisfactory model is found, n_cycle_rebuild_min cycles will be carried out.
    • n_mini = 10 You can choose how many times to retrace your model in &quot;retrace_before_build&quot;
    • n_random_frag = 0 In resolve building you can randomize each fragment slightly so as to generate more possibilities for tracing based on extending it.
    • n_random_loop = 3 Number of randomized tries from each end for building loops If 0, then one try. If N, then N additional tries with randomization based on rms_random_loop.
    • n_try_rebuild = 2 Number of attempts to build each segment of chain
    • ncycle_refine = 3 Choose number of refinement cycles (3)
    • number_of_models = None This parameter lets you choose how many initial models to build with RESOLVE within a single build cycle. This parameter is now superseded by number_of_parallel_models, which sets the number of models (but now entire build cycles) to carry out in parallel. None or zero means set it automatically. That is what you normally should use. The number_of_models is by default set to 1 and number_of_parallel_models is set to the value of nbatch (typically 4).
    • number_of_parallel_models = 0 This parameter lets you choose how many models to build in parallel. None or 0 means set it automatically. That is what you normally should use. You can set this to 1 to prevent the wizard from running multiple jobs in parallel
    • skip_combine_extend = False You can choose whether to skip the combine-extend step in model-building if only one model is available
    • fully_skip_combine_extend = False You can choose whether to skip the combine-extend step in model-building in all cases
    • thorough_loop_fit = True Try many conformations and accept them even if the fit is not perfect? If you say True the parameters for thorough loop fitting are: n_random_loop=100 rms_random_loop=0.3 rho_min_main=0.5 while if you say False those for quick loop fitting are: n_random_loop=20 rms_random_loop=0.3 rho_min_main=1.0
  • general
    • coot_name = "coot" If your version of coot is called something else, then you can specify that here.
    • i_ran_seed = 72432 Random seed (positive integer) for model-building and simulated annealing refinement
    • raise_sorry = False You can have any failure end with a Sorry instead of simply printout to the screen
    • background = True When you specify nproc=nn, you can run the jobs in background (default if nproc is greater than 1) or foreground (default if nproc=1). If you set run_command=qsub (or otherwise submit to a batch queue), then you should set background=False, so that the batch queue can keep track of your runs. There is no need to use background=True in this case because all the runs go as controlled by your batch system. If you use run_command='sh ' (or similar, sh is default) then normally you will use background=True so that all the jobs run simultaneously.
    • check_wait_time = 1.0 You can specify the length of time (seconds) to wait between checking for subprocesses to end
    • max_wait_time = 1.0 You can specify the length of time (seconds) to wait when looking for a file. If you have a cluster where jobs do not start right away you may need a longer time to wait. The symptom of too short a wait time is 'File not found'
    • wait_between_submit_time = 1.0 You can specify the length of time (seconds) to wait between each job that is submitted when running sub-processes. This can be helpful on NFS-mounted systems when running with multiple processors to avoid file conflicts. The symptom of too short a wait_between_submit_time is File exists:....
    • cache_resolve_libs = True Use caching of resolve libraries to speed up resolve
    • resolve_size = 12 Size for solve/resolve (&quot;&quot;,&quot;_giant&quot;, &quot;_huge&quot;,&quot;_extra_huge&quot; or a number where 12=giant 18=huge
    • check_run_command = False You can have the wizard check your run command at startup
    • run_command = "sh " When you specify nproc=nn, you can run the subprocesses as jobs in background with sh (default) or submit them to a queue with the command of your choice (i.e., qsub ). If you have a multi-processor machine, use sh. If you have a cluster, use qsub or the equivalent command for your system. NOTE: If you set run_command=qsub (or otherwise submit to a batch queue), then you should set background=False, so that the batch queue can keep track of your runs. There is no need to use background=True in this case because all the runs go as controlled by your batch system. If nproc is greater than 1 and you use run_command='sh '(or similar, sh is default) then normally you will use background=True so that all the jobs run simultaneously.
    • queue_commands = None You can add any commands that need to be run for your queueing system. These are written before any other commands in the file that is submitted to your queueing system. For example on a PBS system you might say: queue_commands='#PBS -N mr_rosetta' queue_commands='#PBS -j oe' queue_commands='#PBS -l walltime=03:00:00' queue_commands='#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1' NOTE: you can put in the characters '<path>' in any queue_commands line and this will be replaced by a string of characters based on the path to the run directory. The first character and last two characters of each part of the path will be included, separated by '_',up to 15 characters. For example 'test_autobuild/WORK_5/AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/RUN_1' would be represented by: 'tld_W_5_A1__TP0_1'
    • condor_universe = vanilla The universe for condor is usually vanilla. However you might need to set it to local for your cluster
    • add_double_quotes_in_condor = True You might need to turn on or off double quotes in condor job submission scripts. These are already default elsewhere but may interfere with condor paths.
    • condor = None Specifies if the group_run_command is submitting a job to a condor cluster. Set by default to True if group_run_command=condor_submit, otherwise False. For condor job submission mr_rosetta uses a customized script with condor commands. Also uses one_subprocess_level=True
    • last_process_is_local = True If true, run the last process in a group in background with sh as part of the job that is submitting jobs. This prevents having the job that is submitting jobs sit and wait for all the others while doing nothing
    • skip_r_factor = False You can skip R-factor calculation if refinement is not done and maps_only=True
    • test_flag_value = Auto Normally leave this at Auto (default). This parameter sets the value of the test set that is to be free. Normally phenix sets up test sets with values of 0 and 1 with 1 as the free set. The CCP4 convention is values of 0 through 19 with 0 as the free set. Either of these is recognized by default in Phenix. If you have any other convention (for example values of 0 to 19 and test set is 1) then you can specify this with test_flag_value.
    • skip_xtriage = False You can bypass xtriage if you want. This will prevent you from applying anisotropy corrections, however.
    • base_path = None You can specify the base path for files (default is current working directory)
    • temp_dir = None Define a temporary directory
    • local_temp_directory = None Write all temporary files to this directory and copy files specified by keep_files back to TEMP directory in working directory at the end of run. Used to speed up read/write operations. NOTE: Deletes all files except those specified by keep_files just like clean_up=True.
    • clean_up = None At the end of the entire run the TEMP directories will be removed if clean_up is True. Files listed in keep_files will not be deleted. If you want to remove files after your run is finished use a command like &quot;phenix.autobuild run=1 clean_up=True&quot;
    • print_citations = True Print citations at end of run
    • solution_output_pickle_file = None At end of run, write solutions to this file in output directory if defined

    • top_output_dir = None This is used in subprocess calls of wizards and to tell the Wizard where to look for the STOPWIZARD file.
    • wizard_directory_number = None This is used by the GUI to define the run number for Wizards. It is the same as desired_run_number NOTE: this value can only be specified on the command line, as the directory number is set before parameters files are read.
    • verbose = False Command files and other verbose output will be printed
    • extra_verbose = False Facts and possible commands will be printed every cycle if True
    • debug = False You can have the wizard stop with error messages about the code if you use debug. Additionally the output goes to the terminal if you specify &quot;debug=True&quot;

    • after_autosol = False You can specify that you want to continue on starting with the highest-scoring run of AutoSol in your working directory.
    • nbatch = 3 You can specify the number of processors to use (nproc) and the number of batches to divide the data into for parallel jobs. Normally you will set nproc to the number of processors available and leave nbatch alone. If you leave nbatch as None it will be set automatically, with a value depending on the Wizard. This is recommended. The value of nbatch can affect the results that you get, as the jobs are not split into exact replicates, but are rather run with different random numbers. If you want to get the same results, keep the same value of nbatch.
    • nproc = 1 You can specify the number of processors to use (nproc) and the number of batches to divide the data into for parallel jobs. Normally you will set nproc to the number of processors available and leave nbatch alone. If you leave nbatch as None it will be set automatically, with a value depending on the Wizard. This is recommended. The value of nbatch can affect the results that you get, as the jobs are not split into exact replicates, but are rather run with different random numbers. If you want to get the same results, keep the same value of nbatch. If you set nproc=Auto and your machine has n processors, then it will use n-1 processors, or 1 if only 1 is available
    • quick = False Run everything quickly (number_of_parallel_models=1 n_cycle_build_max=1 n_cycle_rebuild_max=1)
    • resolve_command_list = None Commands for resolve. One per line in the form: keyword value value can be optional Examples: coarse_grid resolution 200 2.0 hklin test.mtz NOTE: for command-line usage you need to enclose the whole set of commands in double quotes (&quot;) and each individual command in single quotes (') like this: resolve_command_list=&quot;'no_build' 'b_overall 23' &quot;

    • send_notification = False
    • notify_email = None
  • special_keywords

  • run_control
    • coot = None Set coot to True and optionally run=[run-number] to run Coot with the current model and map for run run-number. In some wizards (AutoBuild) you can edit the model and give it back to PHENIX to use as part of the model-building process. If you just say coot then the facts for the highest-numbered existing run will be shown.
    • ignore_blanks = None ignore_blanks allows you to have a command-line keyword with a blank value like &quot;input_lig_file_list=&quot;
    • stop = None You can stop the current wizard with &quot;stopwizard&quot; or &quot;stop&quot;. If you type &quot;phenix.autobuild run=3 stop&quot; then this will stop run 3 of autobuild.

    • delete_runs = None List runs to delete: 1 2 3-5 9:12
    • display_labels = None display_labels=test.mtz will list all the labels that identify data in test.mtz. You can use the label strings that are produced in AutoSol to identify which data to use from a datafile like this: peak.data=&quot;F+ SIGF+ F- SIGF-&quot;. The entire string in quotes counts here You can use the individual labels from these strings as identifiers for data columns in AutoSol or AutoBuild like this: input_refinement_labels=&quot;FP SIGFP FreeR_flags&quot; # each individual label counts
    • dry_run = False Just read in and check parameter names
    • params_only = False Just read in and return parameter defaults. Not for general use

    • force_combine_extend = False You can choose whether to force the combine-extend step in model-building
    • model_list = None This keyword lets you name any number of PDB files to consider as starting models for model-building. NOTE: This differs from consider_main_chain_list which will try to add your PDB files EVERY cycle of merging models. In contrast model_list will only do it on the first cycle. NOTE: this only uses the main-chain atoms of your PDB files.
    • oasis_cnos = None Enter number of C N O and S atoms here if you have OASIS and want to run it before resolve density modification like this: &quot;C 250 N 121 O 85 S 3&quot;
