I've seen a similar behavior when, for the Phenix.refine refinement strategy, I accidentally selected both XYZ (reciprocal-space) and XYZ (real-space) at the same time. As well as a Phe jumping out of density in one NCS copy, planarity was very poor for several sidechains (but no obvious pattern as to which ended up with poor geometry).

Hope this helps,

Andy Purkiss.

Quoting "Philip D. Jeffrey" <[email protected]>:

As Paul observes, there's a bona fide email list for phenix, but in fact comparing REFMAC to phenix.refine might be useful to see if this really is a program bug or if it's a bug in the model. Sometimes one is better than the other.

For phenix.refine:
Put the Tyr in the "right" place and scour the .geo file created at the start of refinement for bad angles or bonds or bumps etc. This will tell you what the offending energy term is, if there is one. If not, try turning off the rotamer fixing aspect of phenix.refine. I've had aspects of the algorithm "anti-refine" a structure (geometry, Rwork, Rfree all got worse at once) so I tend to streamline the process and run it as: strategy=individual_sites+individual_adp+occupancies (+tls if you're using it) from the command line (since I'm a Luddite and mostly eschew the GUI). For example if it's enforcing rotamers during NCS refinement it could pull your s/chain out of density.

But also try REFMAC if the problem persists.

I have a problem during refining with one of the Tyr residues. It is constantly pushed out of the position during refinement in all 4 chains in ASU. I have tried to exclude it from refinement in phenix but it is refined anyway out of the position with wrong geometry. Is there a possibility to fix it during refinement?


If this is a question about refinement in phenix, then this may not be the most useful mailing list. If this is a question about how to pin down atoms and tweak bonds and contacts in Coot or Refmac, then we can proceed.

Paul.
