GUI fonts
by Frank von Delft 30 Sep '09

Hi, I've just been poking around the new GUIs - neat!! But the font is absolutely enormous, which is terrifically annoying. Where do I change it? (I didn't see it in the preferences.) Cheers phx

refining sugars
by Tirumala Kumar Chowdary 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, My question is related to the 'refining sugars in phenix' questions that have been appearing on the bb for the last two days. I am trying to refine my NAGs and somehow phenix is ignoring the sugars in my structure. Neither it is making a bond between my ASN and NAG nor NAG-NAG bond. My nag-nag.cif and cif_link.params are read properly, though. I am using in version 1.4.125 still. Is this the problem ? Does upgrading to any of the later build will help ? Tirumal

N-linked glycans in phenix.refine
by Jose Casasnovas 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Dear Phenix users. I am trying to refine N-linked glycans in phenix. The Asn-NAG link appears to be recognize by the program, but the NAG-NAG link is not. I guess the cif_link must be missing. Monomer Library directory: "/home/soft/phenix/phenix-1.4-3/ext_ref_files/mon_lib" Total number of atoms: 8947 apply_cif_link: data_link: NAG-ASN mod_id_1: DEL-O1 mod_id_2: DEL-HD22 residue_selection_1: chain N and resname NAG and resid 5161 residue_selection_2: chain E and resname ASN and resid 516 apply_cif_link: data_link: NAG-NAG-B-D Sorry: Missing CIF link: data_link_NAG-NAG-B-D Please check for spelling errors or specify the file name with the link as an additional argument. How can I get the required cif_link file and where to place it?? Any suggestion. Thanks. Jose

anomalous difference map demonstration in pymol
by crystallogrphy 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi, I have used anomalous data to do refinement. The crystal diffracts to 3.5A. The resulting mtz file shows good anomalous density around the heavy atoms. Now I want to demonstrate the density in Pymol. Does anyone know how to generate the map use the map file in MTZ format in Pymol? Thanks!

transfering R-free flags
by Tirumala Kumar Chowdary 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi, I am trying to refine my model against a higher resolution file. I want to transfer my R-free flags generated by phenix.refine from the lower resolution mtz to the higher resolution file. Is there a way to transfer the R-free flags in Phenix ? If not, where can I find the mtz file from my earlier refinement with R-free flags generated ? Does phenix.refine generate this file and save it for me somewhere ? Thanks Tirumal

NCS restraints with TLS
by Joe Krahn 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

I am using NCS restraints with TLS. It seems that the NCS B-factor restraints are applied to the overall B-factor, rather than just the non-TLS part. Is this correct? In my structure, the disorder varies quite a bit among equivalent molecules, and I don't get good results unless the b_factor_weight is about 1e-3 or less. I am experimenting with NCS restraints in CNS, where each pair of coordinates allows an LSQ fit of B-factor scale and offset to be excluded from the B restraints. It would probably work even better with TLS, which CNS does not have. I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I think that overall molecular B-factor differences are fairly common. Joe Krahn

NCS averaged maps?
by Francis E Reyes 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

With all the recent talk about kicked and filled maps, can we have phenix output an ncs averaged map for those of us who have NCS?

extend R-free set to higher resolution
by NATHAN THOMSEN 25 Sep '09

Is there a phenix utility to extend a phenix generated R-free set to higher resolution (while still using lattice symmetry etc.)? Thanks! Nathan Thomsen UC Berkeley

Re: [phenixbb] extend R-free set to higher resolution

Hi Nathan, Yes, you can use the GUI to do this (you need a recent nightly build to do it). Just click on "Reflection file editor" and you get an option to extend a free R set, maintaining the free R set you already have. All the best, Tom T >> Is there a phenix utility to extend a phenix generated R-free set to >> higher resolution (while still using lattice symmetry etc.)?
