[phenixbb] Fw: Reading a shelx file

[Terwilliger, Thomas Charles]

Hi Pavel,
Yes, mmCIF is supported in autosol/autobuild and most related utilities.  Autosol and autobuild can also write out all results in mmCIF for compatibility with the new PDB standards.
All the best,
Tom T

Hello Rex,

Can I read a Shelx file with Phenix and output the new pdb in Phenix format?

no, sorry. Shelx format isn't really well supported. We have some code that can parse these files but I have no idea how up-to-date it is and I doubt it is very well tested, and it is not user-level exposed.

Only PDB and mmCIF are fully supported in most tools (Tom, Randy: is mmCIF supported in Phaser and Autobuil and other related utilities?).

I guess you can convert Shelx file into PDB file with dedicated Shelx utility (ShelxPro?). I would expect Tim can offer more comments.

Pavel
