Dear Colleagues, We hope that you are planning to join us in Toronto, Canada for the International Conference on Structural Genomics 2011 which will be held on May 10-14, 2011. We have an excellent scientific program prepared which includes both oral and poster presentations (please see: http://www.icsg2011.org/scientific_program.php ). Participants will also enjoy the fabulous view of the city of Toronto during the banquet to be held at the revolving 360 Restaurant at the top of the CN tower. An optional post-conference tour to Niagara Falls will also be available. We invite you to register on line by April 15, 2011 at 11:59 pm EST. A limited number of late poster abstracts will be accepted until April 12, 2011 at 11:59 pm EST In addition to the main ICSG meeting, there will be a whole day of concurrent satellite workshops (May 10, 2011) that are free for ICSG 2011 registrants, including: Small Molecule Screening Workshop- This hands-on workshop will allow participants to screen a protein of their choice for binding of selected compounds, using thermal shift assays. iSee: Interactive 3D Documents for the Dissemination of Structural Biology - This hands-on workshop will familiarize participants with the iSEE 3D graphical software which allows interactive viewing of 3 dimensional molecular structures and is currently used by journals such as Nature Structural & Molecular Biology and PLoS Biology and PLoS ONE Eukaryotic Gene Expression Systems Workshop - This workshop will provide participants with a detailed understanding of the state-of-the-art for production of eukaryotic proteins destined for biochemical, biophysical, and structural analyses.. Workshop on NMR Methods for Structural Biology- This workshop will survey technologies for structure/function investigations of proteins, developed in (or in collaboration with) structural genomics projects, that are ready for widespread use by the wider biological community. Phenix Crystallography Software Workshop - This workshop will introduce the PHENIX software for macromolecular structure determination and the core algorithms that it uses. It will provide hands-on tutorials for crystallographers of all levels.

Mainly doing rigid body refinement of various pieces and individual xyz for a few select loops, but NOT refining ADP. Yes, The B-factors are all exactly the same. So I guess this represents the overall B correction. Thanks, Scott

Mac 64-bit kernel
by Joseph Noel 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Nope. I've set up to always run the 64-bit kernel. I am a bit of a Mac lover so go pretty in depth with the operating system. I think Nat fixed things. For the last many latest builds, I have always installed from the source files for linux/mac to ensure I am running at maximum memory capacity. ___________________________________________________________ Joseph P.

latest 64-bit command line build for Mac OSX 10.6.7?
by Joseph Noel 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, I was trying to install the latest nightly build but get error (shown after my salutation) when using the recommended procedure: ./install --prefix=/Applications/ Previously, I always installed from source so I could run the 64-bit version on Mac since I have some structures that require as much memory as possible. Should I just go back to that? It does take about an hour to install on my laptop. I assume this latest 64-bit option would significantly reduce the time for installation since I wouldn't be compiling from the source. Cheers!

Minor map-definition bug in 1.7 GUI
by Joe Krahn 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

The new GUI has "---" in the list of map types for phenix.refine. Users expect this to mean "don't use map definition". I think there was previously a blank menu entry that worked this way. Instead, it is written to the .def file, and the job gives an error, but otherwise works OK. Thanks, Joe Krahn

bug report- gui freezed
by Kendall Nettles 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

The GUI freezes when an add dialog box is open and a job ends, launching an announcement box (..coot is starting, ready set is done...etc). I can't close either box. Using phenix-1.7-650 on a mac Kendall

phenix.maps2mtz
by Yarrow Madrona 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello, I am running phenix-1.7-650 and would like to generate a ccp4 map for use in pymol from an mtz. I can type: phenix.maps2mtz file.mtz but I cannot figure out how to limmit the selection to a single chain (chain A). I guess you can do this in maps.params but I wanted to keep it simple without having to use the sca file. Thank you. -Yarrow -- Yarrow Madrona Graduate Student Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Dept. University of California, Irvine Natural Sciences I, Rm 2403 Irvine, CA 92697

"FOM" or HL coeffs from model?
by Phoebe Rice 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

How can I get phenix to spit out not just PhiModel but an estimated FOM or fake HL coefficients (without experimental phases - just based on how badly my model agrees with FOBS)? And I'd like the weights in their own personal mtz column(s), not just precombined in a "weighted phi" column. In case anybody cares why, I'd like to use solvent massaging and domain-wise averaging to remove bias from a low-resolution model-phased map, preferably with DM, unless anybody has a better suggestion. I did rigid body, TLS, etc on the model in phenix, so it seems like phenix has already calculated all the info I want if I could only squeeze it out. thanks, Phoebe ===================================== Phoebe A.

phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays: a new command line tool to get Fcalc, Fbulk, Fmask, FOM, HL, and more all in one MTZ file
by Pavel Afonine 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

PHENIX users: just a quick notice: starting PHENIX nightly build version dev-717 and up, a new command line tool phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays will be available. This tool takes a PDB model and a data file (in most of commonly used formats: MTZ, CNS, SHELX,...) and outputs a MTZ file containing a number of arrays that are typically used in various crystallographic calculations, such as R-factors, maps, refinement targets, etc. The output arrays include: Fmodel, Fcalc, Fmask, Fbulk, FOM, resolution, HL(input original, computed from model and combined), FB_CART (overall anisotropic scale), input Fobs and Rfree-flags and more. To run: phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays model.pdb data.mtz To see the result: phenix.mtz.dump output_file.mtz Please let me know should you have any questions, suggestions or simply find a bug! Pavel.

low resolution map weirdness with newer releases
by Scott Classen 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Something changed between build 432 and 486 that made my low resolution maps look much crappier. See attached tiff. See if you can guess which map was produced by the release 486. def file looks more or less like this (from a --diff-params): refinement { crystal_symmetry { unit_cell = top secret space_group = top secret } input { pdb { file_name = "../4_23_003.pdb" } xray_data { file_name = "../4_23.sca.mtz" labels = "4_23.sca,SIG4_23.sca" high_resolution = 3.9 r_free_flags { file_name = "../4_23.sca.mtz" label = "R-free-flags" test_flag_value = 1 } } } output { prefix = "test-486" serial = 1 } refine { strategy = *individual_sites individual_sites_real_space rigid_body \ individual_adp group_adp tls occupancies group_anomalous sites { individual = "chain A and resseq 100:107" individual = "chain B and resseq 500:507" individual = "chain E and resseq 100:107" individual = "chain F and resseq 500:507" individual = "chain C and resseq 111:117" individual = "chain D and resseq 111:117" individual = "chain G and resseq 111:117" individual = "chain H and resseq 111:117" individual = "chain C and resseq 63:68" individual = "chain D and resseq 63:68" individual = "chain G and resseq 63:68" individual = "chain H and resseq 63:68" rigid_body = "chain A" rigid_body = "chain B" rigid_body = "chain C" rigid_body = "chain D" rigid_body = "chain E" rigid_body = "chain F" rigid_body = "chain G" rigid_body = "chain H" } } main { number_of_macro_cycles = 1 secondary_structure_restraints = True random_seed = 3141766 optimize_mask = False } modify_start_model { adp { set_b_iso = 50 } } fake_f_obs { mask { ignore_hydrogens = True } } geometry_restraints.edits { excessive_bond_distance_limit = 20 } mask { ignore_hydrogens = True } simulated_annealing { start_temperature = 300 final_temperature = 200 } target_weights { wxc_scale = 0.4 } ias { b_iso_max = 60 } secondary_structure { h_bond_restraints { substitute_n_for_h = True remove_outliers = False sigma = 0.02 h_o_distance_ideal = 2.95 h_o_distance_max = 5 n_o_distance_ideal = 2.95 n_o_distance_max = 5 } }
