Hi,
Not sure if this message was posted earlier or not, that is why I am reposting it.
I had a couple of questions about sampling backrub and sidechains using the building or refinement modules in cctbx_project/mmtbx.
1) In the file: mmtbx.building.alternate_conformations.conformer_generation.py
In the function def __call__: the if statements for checking whether the sampled side chain conformation is a rotamer outlier or not, the check in the if statement is for "selfUTLIER".
Also in the function *set_up_backrub*(self): the atom "O" for the previous residue is not included in the backrun motion, as a result this atom is not moved when the backrub is implemented.
I was just wondering if this is a mistake (possibly all instances of "O" being replaced by "self" which would explain both these things, and some other instances throughout the file), or is this code old and not used anymore?
This is exactly the case. It appears that Graeme Winter did a search and replace two years ago. I did a git blame and it shows that the original code was written by Nat Echols 5 years ago. The fact that the code is broken would indicate that the code is not used or tested well. Feel free to correct it and submit a pull request.
2) When trying to run fit_residues.py and tst_fit_residues* scripts in mmtbx.refinement.real_space, I encountered errors mainly related to chem_data/rotamer_chi_angles/ not being present. Looks like this data is not distributed with cctbx. Is this correct, or maybe there is some other known issue ?
You may need the chem_data directory from a Phenix installation. Nigel
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
