12 Jan '15

Firth announcement 6th Workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology Oak Ridge, TN. June 1 - June 5, 2015 Application deadline: April 10, 2015 The workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology aims at enabling structural biologists to fully exploit the latest instrumentation and software development at the SNS and HFIR facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Attendees will participate in lectures and tutorials focusing exclusively on neutron techniques applied in structural biology. The workshop is designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty new to or with limited experience of neutron scattering. Travel and accommodation expenses are supported for selected participants from the United States. International applications are welcome. However the course organization is not able to support travel or accommodation. The number of participants will be limited to 15. There is no registration fee for all selected participants. The application package consisting of 1) Information form, 2) CV, 3) Applicant motivation letter (1/2 to 1 page), 4) Principal Investigator letter of support (for graduate students only; 1/2 to 1 page), should be sent electronically to meilleurf(a)ornl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> before April 10, 2015. Detailed information can be found on the workshop web page: https://public.ornl.gov/neutrons/conf/gcnb2015. Flora Meilleur, Ph. D Assistant Professor, Molecular and Structural Biochemistry North Carolina State University Neutron Sciences Directorate Oak Ridge National Laboratory Phone: 865-242-5747

Rw/Rf -phenix - wwPDB Validation Server
by Haytham Wahba 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

1- after getting structure refined with phenix.refine to 0.145 , 0.164 Rw/Rf. and then you feel happy with that. then after using validation server from PDB you get 0.158 , 0.181 Rw/Rf. why this big jump for R free. why phenix.refine giving us low R free where in reality is not? 2- if i want to show kick map for metal binding site for publication, which map and how could i generate it. thank you for your help.

A question related to phenix refine
by Dialing Pretty 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Dear All, In a Phenix refinement process, the RMS angles fluctuates between 1.50 and 1.60, i..e., it does not decrease gradually. Can I accept the refinement result or not, and why? I am looking forward to getting a reply from you. Dialing.

how can I merge denzo output files
by lbetts0508 . 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

I hope I am a dummy and I missed the obvious, but if I have a list of ".x" files from DENZO integration and want to merge and scale them as an mtz file in phenix or xds (I don't have access to scalepack) is there a pre-written program for that? Laurie Betts

a question related to Phenix and Coot
by Dialing Pretty 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Dear All, When I use WinCoot 0.8.1 to open a PDB file got by Phenix.refine, it comes, Fix Nomenclature Errors. Correct them? Asp [spec: 1 "A" 128 ""]PHE[spec: 1 "A" 134""]PHE [spec: 1 "A" 371""] But when I check the 3 residues, I cannot find any error. Will you let me know the issue? Dialing

A question related to Phaser-MR (simple interface)
by Dialing Pretty 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Dear All, When I run Phaser-MR, I met a fatal error "The composition you have entered has a protein/nucleic acidcontent of 132.513%, which is impossible. DECREASE your composition". Can you remind me in which black I fill the composition? And how to decrease it? Dialing

advice on 'Fit rotatable H or D' refinement stage in phenix.refine
by Anna Makal 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi, I would like to ask for advice concerning 'Fit rotatable H or D' refinement stage in phenix.refine. I am attempting to run unconstrained refinement on a certain high-resolution protein dataset: just XYZ and ADPs refinement for every single atom in the structure, with hydrogen atoms treated with individual approach. It turns out that when I set more then 3 macrocycles, the 'Fit rotatable H or D' refinement stage is activated in every macrocycle prior to 'XYZ individual' refinement stage. I am using version 1.9, release 1692 for windows. When I last worked with PHENIX, it was distribution 1342, and I am positive I have not come across such refinement stage. It seems that TARDY is involved at that stage. As I specifically do not want to introduce any kind of torsion angle dynamics in my current refinement, I would like to ask, what command/option shall I use to deactivate this stage of H-atom fitting in my refinement? With regards, Anna Makal

Coot failed to launch in Phenix after CCP4 update
by Shun Liu 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Dear all, After I updated ccp4 to a new version (ccp4-6.5), I found that coot failed to launch in phenix. /Applications/PHENIX-1.9-1692/Contents/phenix-1.9-1692/build/mac-intel-osx-x86_64/../../phenix/phenix/command_line/start_coot.sh: line 37: /Applications/ccp4-6.4.0/coot.app/Contents/MacOS/coot: No such file or directory Apparently it requires ccp4-6.4.0, which has been deleted. I tried to modify find_coot_command.py in phenix, but it didn’t work. Can anybody give me some suggestions so that I can figure this problem out? Thanks! Best, Shun
