Autobuild error
by youssef ben ammar 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Dear all, Recently I have problem with Autobuild. The process fails with the following message: Failed to carry out AutoBuild_build_cycle: child process stderr output: command: 'csh /home/phenix/p21/AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/RUN_FILE_1' Word too long. Even if I set the path only to things related to phenix, the process fails with the same error. Any idea? Youssef

Using phenix.pdbtools to strip multiple conformations out of a PDB file?
by Stephen Graham 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Dear all, Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find the answer in the docs or by asking the googlebrain. Is there a simple way in phenix.pdbtools to strip "alternate conformations" of side chains, etc, from an input PDB file? By removing "alternate conformations" I mean I would like to keep the conformation with the highest occupancy (not necessarily denoted 'A' in the altLoc column) unless all conformations have an equal occupancy, in which case I'd arbitrarily keep conformation 'A'. I think it should be possible by a clever atom_selection command, but the correct syntax has thus-far eluded me!

Is the twin refine conflict with order_solvent refine
by shi jiahai 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, Dear all, I am refine a twin dataset with phenix 1.4-3 and CCI (2008_02_08_1610) on a CenOS 5.2 workstation. When I run refine with twin law or order_solvent alone, the refinement is good. Everything goes smoothly. However if I enable refinement on both twin law and order_solvent, the error comes during the order_solvent refinement as below. Start model: number = 55 b_iso_min = 5.52 (limit = 1.00) b_iso_max = 60.32 (limit = 60.00) b_iso_mean = 24.19 anisotropy_min = 1.00 (limit = 0.10) occupancy_min = 1.00 (limit = 0.10) occupancy_max = 1.00 (limit = 1.20) dist_sol_mol_min = 2.13 (limit = 1.80) dist_sol_mol_max = 4.38 (limit = 6.00) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/phenix/phenix/command_line/refine.py", line 5, in <module> command_line.run(command_name="phenix.refine", args=sys.argv[1:]) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/phenix/phenix/refinement/command_line.py", line 80, in run call_back_after_monitor_collect=call_back_after_monitor_collect) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/phenix/phenix/refinement/driver.py", line 1162, in run call_back_after_monitor_collect = call_back_after_monitor_collect) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/phenix/phenix/refinement/strategies.py", line 350, in refinement_machine log = log) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/mmtbx/mmtbx/solvent/ordered_solvent.py", line 132, in __init__ map_cutoff = self.params.primary_map_cutoff).peaks_mapped() File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/mmtbx/mmtbx/solvent/ordered_solvent.py", line 324, in find_peaks log = self.log) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/mmtbx/mmtbx/find_peaks.py", line 65, in __init__ symmetry_flags = maptbx.use_space_group_symmetry) File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/mmtbx/mmtbx/twinning/twin_f_model.py", line 2238, in electron_density_map w2 = w2).fft_map( File "/Application/CCI/cci_apps_sources/mmtbx/mmtbx/twinning/twin_f_model.py", line 2126, in map_coefficients "m_gradient" AssertionError Can anybody help me with this?

combining models from multi-start simulated annealing
by James Whittle 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Is there a way to use AutoBuild to combine a set of models created by multi-start simulated annealing? I've used a random number generator to seed different SA runs at two temperatures, as suggested on this bulletin board before ... but can combine the best parts of these models automatically? --James

Integrating Phenix with Torque
by Jeremy Mann 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

A new user of mine wants to run Phenix on two of our clusters. We use Torque/Maui as our batch scheduler and would like to integrated their usage of Phenix. They want to run something like: phenix.autobuild data=data.hkl seq_file=seq.dat model=model.pdb multiple_models=True multiple_models_number=20 n_cycle_rebuild_max=5 nbatch=20 nproc=20 The documentation mentions briefly the ability to use batch schedulers but doesn't give examples of submission scripts. -- Jeremy Mann jeremy(a)biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672

Phaser RMS - What happens when it is too high
by Peter Grey 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi all, In Phaser RMS is a crucial parameter. I had several cases where underestimation of RMS resulted in negative LLG. The cure was simply increasing the RMS. But I wonder, are there negative effects to a too high RMS. What are the dangers of giving Phaser a too high RMS ? Are there any indications in the output for that. This is also important with EM maps as models since in that case estimation of RMS is difficult. Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight, Peter.

phenix.refine issue

I am having an issue with running a simple phenix.refine that I have never encountered before.

phaser MR
by sbiswas2＠ncsu.edu 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, I was trying to solve a structure by molecular replacement. I scaled the data in P4222 space group (resolution 2.7A) with two molecules in the assymmetric unit (molecule A and B) I ran phaser with my model and got a Zscore of 5.1. When I look at the map that I got from phaser I could easily see good electron density for both molecules, However upon inspection of the electron density map there were considerable interaction or clashes with molecule B and a symmetry atom. Molecule A had no clashes however with the symmetry atoms. I was wondering if anyone knows how to resolve this. Could it be a problem of space group. The statistics are good for space group P4222 and the I/sigI was good till 2.7A. Any advice is appreciated, Shya
