Phenix installation on Debian9.6
by Danilo Belviso 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Dear all, I am intalling phenix on my Debian 9.6. My arch is adm64 thus I downloaded the phenix version named Kernel 2.6 (64-bit; CentOS 6). The installation procedure has been performed as suggested by the guide and no problems were obtained. However, by running phenix (after source phenix_env.sh) I get the follow output with several errors: (main.py:14196): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_loadable_icon_load: assertion 'G_IS_LOADABLE_ICON (icon)'

Do you have any suggestions to overcome such problems? I tried with Kernel 2.6 (64-bit; CentOS 5) and the 32-bit version too and the result is the same. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Jumping Rfree upon bulk solvent modeling
by Weinert Tobias (PSI) 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Dear PHENIXBB community, i have come across a strange behavior in Phenix: * I copied Rfree-flags from a dataset with very slightly different unit cell * Refined the previously refined model against the new data * Rfactors in first round were good * Second round in refinement Rfree was up by 10 % just from the start during bulk solvent modeling and scaling * In another round Rfree was high in the beginning, and then dropped by those 10 % during bulk solvent modelling and scaling. * In yet another round Rfree started 10% lower than the previous round during bulk solvent modeling in the first cycle and then it jumps up again in the second cycle. What could be wrong? Many thanks and kind regards, Tobias Weinert

mmCIF in Phenix 1.14-3260
by Dominik Oberthuer 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

Dear all, I recently found that phenix.refine in version 1.14-3260 generates coordinate mmCIFs that the PDB deposition system can't handle. After struggling with this for some time I used an installation of Phenix 1.13-2998 I still have on my MacBook and used the mmCIF/PDB-conversion tool from this version and had no more trouble with uploading the mmCIF to the PDB. Maybe it is worthwhile to check which changes from 1.13 to 1.14 might have caused these issues. Thanks!

smaller the cell parameter of EM map
by dancingdream＠163.com 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

Dear all, The cell parameter of the EM map is always too large, which will make the model building program running very slow. But in factor, the structure is a smal part of cell. So can I smaller the cell parameter when I use phenix.map_to_structure_factors to convert the EM map to mtz file. Thank a lot! Wei

Postdoctoral position at the Drug Discovery Institute at Purdue University
by John M Hausman 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Dear All: A position is available for a highly qualified and motivated postdoc with a strong background in Molecular/Cell Biology or Immunology. The successful applicant will be responsible for conducting research aimed at identifying and characterizing new drug targets for treatment of important human diseases. Activities may involve i) expressing and characterizing proteins that are upregulated in various disease states, ii) cloning, mutating, expressing and developing assays for studying functional aspects of the target proteins, iii) immunofluorescent staining of tissue sections from diseased tissues, iv) shRNA knockdown of desired proteins in cultured cells, and v) immunoblotting and other common biochemical assays. Management of day-to-day research goals and priorities, supervision of graduate students assigned to the same project, and mentoring of other research personnel regarding the design and execution of specific research methods/approaches may also be required. The lab is directed by Professor Philip S. Low in the new Drug Discovery Institute on the West Lafayette Campus of Purdue University. Other members of the lab are involved in designing new therapies for cancer, fibrotic diseases, infectious diseases, sickle cell disease, bone fractures and related pathologies, and autoimmune diseases, etc. Participation in some of these existing projects may also be required. Please send CV and list of three names of potential referees to: Philip S. Low Presidential Scholar for Drug Discovery Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor Department of Chemistry Purdue University 720 Clinic Dr. West Lafayette, IN 47907 Email: plow(a)purdue.edu<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________
