Re: [phenixbb] phenix.refine problems with my pdb

Hi Matt, Waters refine OK (at least in my hands) as long as you stick to this format: ATOM 31567 O HOH W2244 15.221 -55.194 88.452 0.72 48.20 W O However, I'd be interested to know if the real problem is not your ligand(s) after all - because I am having exactly the same issue you described when I try to refine some hydrated ions...

Thanks for replies so far....

I removed all ligands and then waters - the waters seem to be the problem as the protein model is now refining, do they need to be treated/marked in a different way for phenix?

Thanks again, Matt.

matt,

can't offer much help, but have you tried to remove the ligand and try refinement? it would let you know if the pdb file or the presence of the ligand is the problem. at least let you would know where you should focus your attention.

if all else fails, have you tried getting parameters for your ligand from the PRODRG Server and using that for inputing the ligand parameters into phenix.refine directly when you setup the refinement job? (I think i have done this before???)

here is the website in case you aren't familiar... http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/programs/prodrg/

Again, Best of luck!

cheers, nick

Dear All, I am trying to run phenix.refine but I keep getting the message:

Sorry: Fatal problems interpreting PDB file: Number of atoms with unknown nonbonded energy type symbols: 308 Please edit the PDB file to resolve the problems and/or supply a CIF file with matching restraint definitions. Note that elbow.builder is available to create restraint definitions.

I have run my ligands through elbow and used the output .cif but I still get the same message. I can find no info on this problem in the manual or the BB, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, yours, Matt.
