10 Jan '25

Hi everyone, Applications are now open for the 2024 edition of RapiData at SSRL. RapiData is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution. The aim of the RapiData course is to educate and train young scientists in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will be held at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) located on the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory campus in Menlo Park, CA, from April 29 to May 4, 2024. The course will comprise hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on the following topics: Specimen preparation, Data collection strategies, X-ray light sources, X-ray detectors, Data reduction, Structure solution by MAD, SAD and Molecular Replacement, Complementary methods (spectroscopy and small angle scattering) Please visit http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/news/rapidata/rapidata-2024/ and use the links on the "Application and Registration" page to apply for the course. The application deadline is January 31, 2024. Successful applicants will be notified early in February 2024 and invited to register and book accommodation at SLAC Stanford Guesthouse at that time. A limited amount of support funding may be available. Please direct questions to Silvia Russi (srussi(a)slac.stanford.edu) or Clyde Smith (csmith(a)slac.stanford.edu).

Re: [phenixbb] Phenix installation on macOS 14 Sonoma

Hi all, Reviving this thread (or trying to, anyway - TBD if I can successfully reply to a thread begun before I'd joined the phenixbb list!), I recently updated my Mac OS to 14/Sonoma, and am now also having issues getting Phenix to work. As directed on the installers page <https://phenix-online.org/download/phenix/release/>, I downloaded the supplied fix <https://phenix-online.org/download/sonoma_fix.tar.gz>, extracted the tarball, and ran that code as `sudo Downloads/sonoma_fix/fix_wxpython.sh /Applications/phenix-1.19.2-4158`. This was the resulting output/error I got: Password: Removing old version of wxPython ================================ Downloads/sonoma_fix/fix_wxpython.sh: line 36: ./bin/conda.exe: No such file or directory Installing new version of wxPython ================================== Downloads/sonoma_fix/fix_wxpython.sh: line 42: ./bin/conda.exe: No such file or directory The wxPython package has been updated in /Applications/phenix-1.20.1-4487. Sure enough, when I went to my phenix installation and looked in conda_base/bin, there was no file named `conda.exe` present. This was true for both my prior installation (phenix-1.19.2-4158) and when I tried a newly downloaded version (phenix-1.20.1-4487). Can anyone tell me how I get that conda.exe file included with the Phenix download/how else I might be able to run Phenix with this OS? (I sent an email about this to help(a)phenix-online.org before thinking to hunt through the phenixbb archive, so apologies to whoever checks that email and is getting this message twice!) Many thanks, Maggie

geometrical restraints between symmetry related chains
by Jorge Iulek 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Dear all, I am working currently on a structure that should be "peptide bond" between chains, but the "second" part of the chain is in a symmetry related peer. Numbering is continuous and there are justifications to why the chains are separately named with different chain ID's. By the way, this "connection" is "full of glycines" so a kind of flexible, but a continuous stretch can be seen at "reasonable" density (and despite low resolution). To better explain, say I have chain C residue x to be bound to chain K, at symm operation -x-1,y-1/2,-z-1/2, residue x + 1. I would prefer to really refine the presence of these "connecting" glycines, of course with due geometrical restraints imposed (precious at this low resolution). phenix.refine offers: refinement.geometry_restraints.edits at bond with the possibility to indicate the symmetry_operation for the "second atom" within the bond. But this "symmetry_operation" indication is not available (?) for the other geometry_restraints edits, like angle, dihedral, etc. (eventually, planarity might also make easier). Do I miss anything here? Currently, I see 3 possibilities: a) somehow (how?) I can add angle, dihedral restraints in involving chains in symmetry related operations b) I bring the symmetry related chain to its non "symmetry related" position and change chains names/residues ID, etc., so I go into this go/return of naming at each step of the refinement work/analysis c) I add "extra" ( + - like alternate conformation residues) residues to each end of the connection, such that these extra residues will receive due conventional geometrical restraints (as phenix.refine does for contiguous residues in a chain) but I force them to be on the same position (and probably declare 0.5 occupancy for these overlying residues). "a" should be the easiest, if available somehow; "b" would be cumbersome during the refinement/analysis process; "c" seems to be the most complex but maybe the best if it works. Nevertheless, someone might have an easier suggestion. Thanks, Jorge

Phenix windows distortion windows
by Dmitry Semchonok 28 Dec '23

28 Dec '23

Dear colleagues, I am not sure of the reason, but when I run Phenix, I get the following distortion of the Phenix window. Then, the distortion disappears if I move the cursor somewhere else and click somewhere out of the Phenix window. (please see attachment) Do you know the reasons and how to fix that? Phenix version - 1.21-5187 WSL Windows 11 I will try to 1. roll-back windows drivers 2. update Phenix Kind regards, Dmitry

27 Dec '23

Dear colleagues, Does anyone know how to improve the Ramachandran plot Z score (Rama-Z)? Ours seems to be too good (low) 🙂 Is there any cure in Phenix for that? Maybe changing certain parameters/restraints can aid? Thank you. Kind regards, Dmitry

Two-year postdoctoral position in time-resolved crystallography at IBS in Grenoble
by Elke De Zitter 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

Dear all, We have an immediate opening for a two-year postdoctoral researcher in SNaX team of the DYNAMOP group at the Institute for Structural Biology in Grenoble (France). The successful candidate will work on the development and optimization of bio-scavengers towards toxic organophosphorus compounds. To attain this goal, the researcher will use time-resolved crystallography and in silico protein design methods. The position is funded by the French National Research Agency via the University Grenoble Alpes, and is open for a young researcher. Applicants must have obtained a Ph.D. in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, physics, chemistry, or a related field, no more than two years before the start of the project. The candidate must show a track-record of publications in peer-reviewed journals, and is expected to be proficient in English and highly motivated to learn new skills. The candidate will work in the multidisciplinary DYNAMOP group and thus needs to be a good team player as well as being capable of working independently. While the research will be carried out in English, non-French-speaking candidates are expected to learn the basics of French in order to facilitate communication and integration into the laboratory. Experience with one or more of the following skills would be highly evaluated: protein design or the usage of artificial intelligence for structural biology, protein expression and purification, protein crystallization and macromolecular crystallography, serial crystallography, programming or scripting.
