harmonic restrains in phenix.refine
by Bjørn Pañella Pedersen 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi all, Is it possible to use harmonic restrains in phenix.refine, in a manner similar to CNS v1.2? I have searched the phenix.refine documentation and the web, but can't find anything. I use version 2007_04_06_1210 of phenix.

SAD + MR
by Lucas Bleicher 19 Jun '07

I have a dataset from a Cs-soaked crystal, and the protein has a domain solved in the PDB. The problem is that the map obtained just with the experimental phasing is not so easily interpreted, and the domain is just about 25% of the whole protein. Inspection of the map generated by MR suggests that it's a good solution, with residues fitting reasonably well on the density. Given the new features on Phaser 2.0, which I suppose is included in Phenix 1.3b, can anyone suggest a protocol to profit from both things (anomalous scattering + good search model)?

Hi Peter, The reindexing works fine but when I try to convert back to R3:H all atoms with ANISOU records are given B-factors of -79.86: ATOM 1 N MET A 1 16.402 60.069 44.768 1.00-78.96 N ATOM 2 CA MET A 1 16.316 58.621 44.978 1.00-78.96 C ATOM 3 CB MET A 1 17.622 57.922 44.573 1.00-78.96 C ATOM 4 C MET A 1 15.966 58.300 46.432 1.00-78.96 C ATOM 5 O MET A 1 16.196 59.115 47.326 1.00-78.96 O ATOM 6 N PHE A 2 15.408 57.114 46.661 1.00-78.96 N ATOM 7 CA PHE A 2 15.047 56.686 48.013 1.00-78.96 C ATOM 8 CB PHE A 2 13.750 55.866 48.016 1.00-78.96 C ATOM 9 CG PHE A 2 13.323 55.436 49.391 1.00-78.96 C ..... And since TLS refinement has been used, all protein atoms have ANISOU records. Any suggestions? Kate

Hi Santosh, Here is an alternative to methods mentioned earlier. If you get the latest version of the cctbx or cci_apps (from www.phenix-online.org) you will find a new application named phenix.xmanip (or mmtbx.xmanip if you only download the cctbx). xmanip has some useful features, one of them is that one can provide pieces of python code to the interface that will be executed. You have full access to all cctbx methods available. Please find below an example parameter file that perform structure factor calculation (in less than 90 lines of code and input) that includes elements with f" and f' not being equal to zero (you have to set the values of f" and f' yourself rather then rely on lookup tables by wavelength) and allows you to set bulk solvent parameters such as ksol, bsol and the overall anisotropic B of the data (B_cart). Save the text below (between the hash-es in a file named params.def , change the unit cell and sg parameters, the input pdb file and f" and f' value dictionary to suit your needs: ( like fp_dict = { "S": 0, "C": 0 } fdp_dict = { "S": 0, "C": 2.8 } for instance } You can fool around with solvent density, solvent B, overall scale factor and overall anisotropic B value and resolution (d_min). Then run phenix.xmanip params.def and get a file named xmanip.mtz that will contain your error free data. If you want, you can add uniform or Gaussian errors yourself. Since xmanip is fairly new, you will find a bug in the current release that somehow appears when you do not read in any external xray data. This happens however right after the mtz file in question has been written out. This will be fixed in the forthcoming release (soonish). Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have trouble running it.

removing Van der Waals repulsion between two atoms
by Miguel Ortiz-Lombardía 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

Dear all, I've a question regarding phenix.refine. Is it possible in phenix.refine to remove repulsion between a couple of atoms to see to what distance they refine when unrestrained? I'm thinking in something like what in CNS/XPLOR one would do by setting: igroup interaction (selection1) (selection2) weights * 1 vdw 0. elec 0. end end I've been searching the web for a solution to this question, but haven't come up with anything. Sorry if I missed it! I would appreciate your help.

secondary structure restraint
by Jianghai Zhu 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Hi all, I am refining a low resolution structure (~3.8 A). For some of the domains in the structure, we already have high resolution structures. Despite of some conformational changes in some loops, the core structures should be the same. I am wondering if it is possible to restrain the secondary structures in phenix.refine. Thanks.

Re: [phenixbb] elbow.builder

Problem solved: The OS X pre-compiled distribution comes with an executable gamess.Mar242007R1.x but the shell script seems to require gamess.00.x so in /usr/local/gamess I did this: sudo ln -s gamess.Mar242007R1.x gamess.00.x and benzene is as one would expect. BTW, when I run this under tcsh, I get a more informative error message -- it says it can't find gamess. Under zsh, it just says "Failed to read coordinates. Aborting optimisation." Anyway, it all works now. Thanks.
