PHENIX (Python-based Hierarchical ENvironment for Integrated Xtallography) is a | PHENIX (Python-based Hierarchical ENvironment for Integrated Xtallography) is a software suite for the automated determination and refinement of macromolecular structures using X-ray crystallography and other methods. It integrates well with CCP4-formatted files for I/O, is highly automated, and very straightforward to use. | ||
The suite ([http://www.phenix-online.org/ Phenix home page]; [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation documentation]) has a GUI program (phenix) which can be used to run the programs, but they also work from the command line. | |||
A short help, such as usage and options, is printed out by all PHENIX command line tools: just type phenix.TOOLNAME and hit Enter (or Return). | |||

=== [http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm#anch26 Low resolution refinement] === | |||
Use an existing high resolution model (e.g. in a different spacegroup) for restraining the dihedrals: | |||
phenix.refine data.hkl model.pdb main.reference_model_restraints=True reference_model.file=reference.pdb | |||
The behaviour can be modified with the keywords <font face="Courier">reference_model.limit</font> (default 15 degrees) and <font face="Courier">reference_model.sigma</font> (default probably 1 degrees - the current documentation says 1 Angstrom which is probably not right). | |||

Use | |||

to automatically flip these sidechains to make them better fit the density and/or hydrogen bonding pattern. | |||
