MTZ file
by YS. Chung 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hi all, I have a simple question about the output mtz file from phenix.refine. When I look at the mtz file, it says *********************************************************** DO NOT USE THIS FILE AS INPUT FOR REFINEMENT! Resolution and sigma cutoffs may have been applied to FOBS. *********************************************************** If I have not applied either resolution or sigma cutoffs to FOBS, does that mean that this mtz file is ok to be used for the next round of refinement? Thank you, Yu Seon Chung

Dry shippers
by Peter Zwart 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Dear all, Due to the presence of residual liquid nitrogen in dry shippers 'steaming' out of a tipped-over dewar on a Fedex dock, we (PX-ers in the ALS) have been placed under some scrutiny with regards to dry-shipping dewars. In particular, I am interested in how people empty their dewars/pucks/vials and prepare them for dry-shipment and how they and/or their shipping department checks if the dewars are empty indeed.

Refining with NCS
by Francis E Reyes 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

All I have 4 molecules in my ASU and I had phenix pick out my NCS operators automatically. Do a round of refinement, load 2fofc maps into coot and ask to calculate NCS Maps (Calculate -> NCS Maps). I have three new maps mapping a single chain onto the other chains (3) and an NCS average map. I look at some of the NCS maps and the question is should the model (all the chains) match to every NCS map? In my set of 3 maps, the model fits one map (independent of chain) but seems offset in the other two maps. Also if anyone has a paper/protocol for NCS refinement, I'd love to check it out (to figure out which map to fit to). Thanks!

anisotropic refinement and hydrogens in coot.
by Mark Collins 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Two hopefully quick questions; 1) The phenix.refine documentation has a section 'Refinement at "higher than medium" resolution - getting anisotropic'. I have a 1.4A structure that clearly falls into this category, I've added riding hydrogens and now I'd like to try anisotropic ADPs. Is there a way, to list all residues (preferably in phenix selection format) that have "relatively small isotropic B-factors ~5-20A**2 of so."? 2) The output.pdb file from phenix.refine is I think the pdb v3.0 format. Is there an option or apps to convert to v2.3, within phenix rather using remediator (duke)? Coot still uses v2.3 files, which is fine until hydrogens are added to a pdb, because the nomenclature has changed. RSR in coot causes these 3.0 named hydrogens to fly off the residue into surrounding density. Thanks in advance, Mark

Hello Ralf, I have now tried to compile the cctbx version of May 25th (which was the latest version with an official IRIX build). It gives me the very same type of error which I have seen with the latest cci_apps: -------- Declaration is incompatible with function template "boost::basic_format<Ch, Tr, Alloc> &boost::io::detail::feed(boost::basic_format<Ch, Tr, Alloc> &, T)" (declared at line 52 of "/usr/local/archive/cctbx/2008_05_25/cctbx_sources/boost/boost/format /internals_fwd.hpp"). io::detail::feed (basic_format<Ch2, Tr2, Alloc2>&, T); --------- This means that probably there always have been certain changes to be made for the code to compile under IRIX/Mipspro. Could somebody maybe tell me the email address of the person who actually did the last IRIX build, or just forward my message accordingly? Thanks a lot!

Hello Ralf, thanks a lot for Your suggestions. Yes, I have thought about that, comparing with the older version to fix the differences. Unfortunately, I was brave enough to delete my previous (precompiled) version before I realized that IRIX support has been dropped in the meantime !!! The cci_apps download area does not provide an obvious possibility to download an older version (the cci_apps packages don't have version numbers anyway). But maybe somebody could provide a link to the latest sgi-compatible version (sources and binary package, if possible)?? That would be great! If these minor problems can be solved, it should be no problem to compile the main phenix package ;)) Cheers Oliver ------------------------------- Dr. Oliver H.

cci_apps on irix
by o.h.weiergraeber＠fz-juelich.de 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello, I am just compiling the latest cci_apps package for the IRIX platform. I know this is unsupported, but since the package is very self-contained, I would not expect major problems with the command-line packages (who needs a gui, anyway ;)) I'm just running into two issues with the boost package which are obviously a matter of syntax: 1st: ----- Function function "boost::python::api::object_base::~object_base" is redeclared "inline" after being called. inline api::object_base::~object_base() ^ ----- 2nd: ----- Declaration is incompatible with function template "boost::basic_format<Ch, Tr, Alloc> &boost::io::detail::feed(boost::basic_format<Ch, Tr, Alloc> &, T)" (declared at line 52 of "/usr/local/archive/phenix/cci_apps-1.3/cci_apps_sources/boost/boost/ format/internals_fwd.hpp"). io::detail::feed (basic_format<Ch2, Tr2, Alloc2>&, T); ^ ----- I have attached the complete output for your reference. Maybe these problems can be corrected easily. In fact, all this may be a matter of the mipspro compilers being more strict about syntax than gcc. But how to tell the install script to use gcc??? There doesn't seem to be a standard way to provide general compilation options... Just renaming the cc binaries makes the python configure script to switch to gcc without complaints, but other packages (scons if I remember correctly) still explicitly check for mipspro ?! Any ideas how to resolve this? Oliver ------------------------------- Dr. Oliver H.

Dear Phenix developers, since downloading the latest CCI Apps software release version (2008_08_09_0053), I keep running into this same error (AssertionError) when turning on the 'ordered solvent' switch in phenix.refine.
