Dear all, i'm refining a low resolution structure (3.2A) with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. I saw that phenix.refine doesn't allow constraints, so i'd like to change the restraints weight but i can't find the right keyword... thanks for your help d -- Daniele de Sanctis, PhD Homo sum humani nil alienum a me puto ______________________________________________________________ phone ++ 351 21 4469 662 fax ++ 351 21 4433 664 e-mail de.sanctisd(a)gmail.com, sanctis(a)itqb.unl.pt Mailing address: ITQB, Av.

Re: [phenixbb] set_biso_to_wilson_b gone?

Hi Luca, > I've just noticed that in the last version of PHENIX (1.3b-d7) this is > not recognised anymore: > > refinement.modify_start_model.adp.set_biso_to_wilson_b = true > > is this intentional? I'm afraid, yes. There are some technical reasons for this. You still have at least two ways of doing this: 1) When running phenix.refine : % phenix.refine data.mtz model.pdb modify_start_model.adp.set_b_iso=xxx where xxx is Wilson B values (that you may get from previous phenix.refine runs; phenix.refine reports it). 2) We recently added a tool for PDB file(s) manipulations. Currently it is very simple but will grow based on needs and user's requests. For example, it can read in a model and for selected or all atoms: - modify ADP (randomize, shift, set to a value, scale, convert to/from iso(aniso)tropic); - modify sites (shake, apply rotation / translation); - modify occupancies; - remove selected atoms; - write out a PDB file with modified model. To get started type: phenix.pdbtools -h I'm attaching a copy of a quick manual for phenix.pdbtools (it will be a part of new updated PHENIX documentation). Pavel.

Re: [phenixbb] Problematic dataset

Hi Lucas, Your P21 just looks twinned. Have a look at the last section of the xtriage output: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twinning and intensity statistics summary (acentric data): Statistics independent of twin laws - <I^2>/<I>^2 : 1.915 - <F>^2/<F^2> : 0.821 - <|E^2-1|> : 0.677 - <|L|>, <L^2>: 0.442, 0.267 Multivariate Z score L-test: 3.623 The multivariate Z score is a quality measure of the given spread in intensities. Good to reasonable data is expected to have a Z score lower than 3.5. Large values can indicate twinning, but small values do not neccesarily exclude it. Statistics depending on twin laws ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Operator | type | R obs. | Britton alpha | H alpha | ML alpha | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | h,-k,-h-l | PM | 0.090 | 0.406 | 0.417 | 0.370 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ Patterson analyses - Largest peak height : 6.379 (correpsonding p value : 6.273e-01) The largest off-origin peak in the Patterson function is 6.38% of the height of the origin peak. No significant pseudotranslation is detected. The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics are significantly different then is expected from good to reasonable, untwinned data. As there are twin laws possible given the crystal symmetry, twinning could be the reason for the departure of the intensity statistics from normality. It might be worthwhile carrying out refinement with a twin specific target function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You might have NCS parallel to the twin axis. If you run mmtbx.xtwin_map_utils on your P21 data, you get a mtzfile called obs_and_calc.mtz push that through xtriage (make sure to specify labels for observed and calculated data) to get the RvsR statistic. When you do that, please also provide the keyword 'perform=True' on the xtriage command line for my pleasure and send me the resulting log file. I guess the twin refinement will push the r values down a bit. Note that for futurte reference, xtriage produces a logfile as well, usually named logfile.log unless you ask it to be a different name. logfile.log contains some ccp4 style graphs you can view with loggraph (such as the L, NZ, Britton and H curves). If the above is too cryptic and you need more info, please let me know.

R, Rfree, and wxu_scale
by Jianghai Zhu 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hi, Just finished a round of refinement. Rfree went up about 1% and R went down a bit. I am wondering what happened here. Also Rfree always went down after TLS refinement but always went up a lot more after the individual ADP refinement. Is there anything I can do here? Should I use weaker B restraints? I tried to assign a wxu_scale value. But phenix.refine automatically adjust it to 1.81 every time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R-factors, x-ray target values and norm of gradient of x-ray target stage r-work r-free xray_target_w xray_target_t 0 : 0.3982 0.5701 6.156859e+00 6.238509e+00 1_bss: 0.2008 0.2494 5.949117e+00 6.088855e+00 1_xyz: 0.2030 0.2497 5.953829e+00 6.091696e+00 1_adp: 0.1998 0.2559 5.952833e+00 6.099340e+00 2_bss: 0.1996 0.2557 5.952517e+00 6.099196e+00 2_xyz: 0.1984 0.2576 5.953246e+00 6.104085e+00 2_adp: 0.1974 0.2578 5.950434e+00 6.102336e+00 3_bss: 0.1972 0.2574 5.950333e+00 6.102222e+00 3_xyz: 0.1997 0.2576 5.956524e+00 6.103647e+00 3_adp: 0.1987 0.2590 5.955554e+00 6.104434e+00 3_bss: 0.1986 0.2588 5.955445e+00 6.104227e+00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weights for target T = Exray * wxc * wxc_scale + Echem * wc and angles between gradient vectors, eg.

estimated coordinate error
by Jianghai Zhu 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi, I am refining a 2.6 A structure using both phenix.refine and refmac5. Both programs give me similar R and Rfree values. But the estimated coordinate errors are quite different. From phenix.refine: maximum likelihood estimate for coordinate error: 0.42 A From refmac5: estimated overall coordinate error: ESU based on R value: 0.427 A ESU based on Free R value: 0.293 A ESU based on maximum likelihood: 0.239 A I am wondering why they are different.

A question about AutoBuild
by Marcelo Carlos Sousa 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

We have solved (in part) a structure by Molecular Replacement. The protein is a homodimer with 360 amino acids per chain (one dimmer per asu). The model was pretty good for the last 220 amino acids or so but appears to be wrong for the first 140 so I deleted them and refined using phenix to an R free of ~ 0.38. As I was about to start model building in O I thought I would give the phenix autobuild a try. The resolution is 2.5 Å and the map shows buildable features for the missing domain. I ran the autobuild wizard with RESOLVE building “in- place” to extend the current model. However the program seemed unable to add fragments of secondary structure (even as alanines) to the model. The question is: is the building “in-place” restricted to “growing” the current model from the ends? Marcelo
