Relax software tips: files to load

Few tips that will save your time when using Relax* (https://www.nmr-relax.com).

*d'Auvergne, E. J. and Gooley, P. R. (2008). Optimisation of NMR dynamic models I. Minimisation algorithms and their performance within the model-free and Brownian rotational diffusion spaces. J. Biomol. NMR, 40(2), 107-119.

FILES to load:   NOE, R1, R2, pdb

Format of NOE/Rs:

name of protein / number / residue / number / atom (N) / value / error

COMT    1    GLN    1    N    1.055199602    0.047908918
COMT    2    GLY    2    N    0.628859626    0.020470979
COMT    4    THR    4    N    0.649051411    0.023684093
COMT    5    LYS    5    N    0.668918693    0.04637887

Relax doesn't like negative values. Delete if you have any negative NOEs.

Format of pdb: must be with hydrogens!

ATOM      9  OE1 GLN A   1      13.151  31.068  48.151  1.00 51.60           O 
ANISOU    9  OE1 GLN A   1     7933   4830   6844    575   2062   -440       O 
ATOM     10  HA  GLN A   1      17.757  30.808  49.407  1.00  0.00           H 
ATOM     11  HB2 GLN A   1      15.798  29.870  50.273  1.00  0.00           H 
ATOM     12  HB3 GLN A   1      15.231  31.229  49.293  1.00  0.00           H  


Check your hydrogens. Must be named as HA, HB etc. In one file I had H01, H02 - didn't work then. And again Relax doesn't like negative values. If your numbering starts with negative value, change it!

Ex. in Pymol by : alter sele, resi=str(int(resi)-50) - it will subtract 50 from your numbering. "+" (adding) also works. 

Special case - dimer pdb

 If your pdb file is a dimer, then start numbering for the second chain by continuing numbering of first chain, ex:

ATOM   3632  HD2 PRO A 215     -10.765   0.092  78.087  1.00  0.00           H 
ATOM   3633  HD3 PRO A 215     -11.387  -0.161  79.748  1.00  0.00           H 
ATOM   3634  N   GLN B 216     -32.761  14.719 114.374  1.00 17.47           N 
ANISOU 3634  N   GLN B 216     2676   1985   1976   -348    


Pro was the last residue of chain A (number 215), Gln first of chain B (number 216 instead of 1).

Thesis stuff - PyMOL - how to remove alternative conformation; renumbering, measuring distances with 2 decimals

Sometimes I'm googling stuff. How to do something.. And I'm forgetting then. Or writing on paper. But better to keep it on-line, so other googlers can find it, too ;) Thanks for  http://randomthesisstuff.blogspot.co.uk/  useful! Another great one -  http://www.keepcalmandpublishpapers.com/ So PyMOL,  alternative conformation . It makes messy some of my calculations to keep alternative conformations, so to remove it, simply type: PyMOL>remove not (alt ''+A) PyMOL>alter all, alt='' But it's choosing conformation A, not that with higher occupancy! See here -  https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Property_Selectors#Alternate_Locations Alternatively in  Phenix  - Model tools - pdb tools - options - remove alternate conformers, but it gave me the same output as PyMOL, conformation A, not higher occupancy. You can do it in  Coot , but then (probably?) have to go from residue to residue (with double occupancy), I didn't find how to do it for whole

How to make gif from PyMOL - easily!

Firstly, save your movie as png images. You can set_view/get_view to have the right orientation. To save scenes go to > scene > store > F 1/2/3... then > Movie > Program > Scene Loop I use usually: Nutate > 30 deg. over 4 sec. > file > save movie as png images then for 300 images you can easily use http://gifmaker.me/ (quite slow even with highest speed) or https://ezgif.com/maker up to 2000 files (delay time 1 makes a nice speed) or it's easy to find some png to gif conventer online

phasing (pseudo) 3D spectrum in TopSpin

1. Open your 3D processed spectrum. 2. Click on "show F2-F3 plane" (button "23" in TopSpin 3.2) xfb 3. Select plane orientation: "23" 4. Select plane number: "1" 5. Enter new PROCNO: can be "231" 6. Interactive phase correction 7. Add 3 points, then "R" - start the phase correction on rows 8. Phase and save. 7. Save for 3D spectrum (second button after "R") 8. Return to 3D spectrum. 9. process: tf3 and tf2 check you F2-F3 plane and enjoy! ;-)
