I have repeatedly tried to install Rosetta for use in Phenix with zero success.

However... rosetta.run_tests fails with DEBUG dumping error message ERROR: Rosetta exited with status 1 stderr output: BACKTRACE: 0 libcore.3.dylib 0x0000000114b0e4e6 print_backtrace(char const*) + 54 …40 lines of traceback crap… Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/phenix-1.14rc1-3177/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/rosetta_refine.py", line 307, in <module> run(sys.argv[1:], create_dir=True) File "/Applications/phenix-1.14rc1-3177/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/rosetta_refine.py", line 191, in run debug=params.output.debug) File "/Applications/phenix-1.14rc1-3177/modules/phenix/phenix/rosetta/refine.py", line 313, in __init__ self.run_jobs() File "/Applications/phenix-1.14rc1-3177/modules/phenix/phenix/rosetta/refine.py", line 388, in run_jobs check_result(result) File "/Applications/phenix-1.14rc1-3177/modules/phenix/phenix/rosetta/refine.py", line 379, in check_result raise RuntimeError("Aborted due to error in job %d." % result.job_id) RuntimeError: Aborted due to error in job 1.

rosetta installation problem ubuntu 18.04

Dear Scientific Community, I am struggling installing rosetta on ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and phenix 1.14-3211-000. I followed the instruction as in https://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/rosetta_install.html the provided link https://c4c.uwc4c.com/express_license_technologies/rosetta gives an "This site can't be reached error" Therfore I went to https://www.rosettacommons.org/software and downloaded and unpacked in /home/g/programs/rosetta_src_2016.32.58837_bundle/ I added the line export PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH=/home/g/programs/rosetta_src_2016.32.58837_bundle/ to .bashrc running rosetta.build_phenix_interface nproc=8 I can't remember if it was fine.

RSCC calculation for structures from ensemble refinement
by Ashraya Ravikumar 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Hi, I performed ensemble refinement for an existing PDB structure using phenix.ensemble_refinement. May I know what is the best way to calculate real space correlation coefficient at the residue level for the ensemble? I tried using phenix.real_space_correlation but it gave me the following error: "Sorry: Multiple equally suitable arrays of observed xray data found." Thanks in advance. Regards, Ashraya Ravikumar, Graduate Student, Indian Institute of Science

Re: [phenixbb] Questions about refine glycans using PHENIX
by Pavel Afonine 07 Aug '18

Hi, yes, as long as the map shows the glycans clearly enough so that you can model them, then there is no problem refining your model using phenix.real_space_refine. Normally, there is no need to add anything special. Now I'm puzzled.. do you have a reason to believe that something isn't working correctly? By the way, we will be at Tsinghua University first week of September running Phenix workshop. We can discuss things while there!

Post Doctoral Research Fellow opportunity - Structural Chemistry Group at MD Anderson Cancer Center's Therapeutics Division.
by Leonard,Paul G 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

At MD Anderson, we have been working to eliminate cancer for more than seven decades and are ranked as one of the top two hospitals in cancer care every year since 1990. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to translate today's most promising laboratory findings into tomorrow's new, more effective and less traumatic treatments. We are recruiting exceptional national and international post-doctoral fellowsto join our Structural Chemistry group, part of the Institute for Applied Cancer Science. Applicants must be extremely motivated and possess a strong background in structural biology, including protein expression and purification, crystallization, and X-ray crystallography. Experience using other biophysical techniques would be an advantage. We are seeking only the most dedicated individuals who will join us in our quest to discover, develop, and deliver more effective treatments to our patients. This is a unique opportunity to participate in project-driven drug discovery research within a highly respected academic and clinical setting. We’re tackling cancer and neurodegeneration with a new plan — our Moon Shots Program - one that aims to improve prevention, early detection and treatment. Our research engines fuel innovation along the way. And innovation, collaboration and scale get us there faster. They give us the framework we need for success, and speed up development for new and more effective care. Our Missionis to integrate novel biological insights with drug discovery expertise to accelerate the development of innovative targeted therapeutics, both small molecules and biologics for unmet medical needs. Our work is conducted in an environment that brings together excellence in both academic and pharmaceutical discovery, as evidenced by recent publications.
