Phenix and Rosetta Commons
Overview
Phenix is a software suite for the automated determination of macromolecular structures using X-ray crystallography and other methods. Version 1.9 is available on the CSF.
Rosetta is a library-based object-oriented software suite which provides a system for predicting and designing protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, and protein-protein interactions. Version 3.3 is available on the CSF.
Phenix and Rosetta are often used together.

Risks
You are required to discuss anything that is unclear about your usage and the license with your line management in the first instance to obtain further guidance.
Set up procedure
To access the software you must first load either or both of the modulefiles:
# Rosetta modulefile module load apps/binapps/rosetta/2015.19 # Choose one of the following phenix versions module load apps/binapps/phenix/1.14 moudle load apps/binapps/phenix/1.9
Running the application
Please do not run either applications on the login node. Jobs should be submitted to the compute nodes via batch.
Serial batch job submission
Make sure you have the modulefile loaded then create a batch submission script, for example (based on supplied example data):
#!/bin/bash #$ -S /bin/bash #$ -V #$ -cwd $PHENIX/build/intel-linux-2.6-x86_64/bin/phenix.refine $PHENIX/examples/rnase-s/rnase-s.pdb \ $PHENIX/examples/rnase-s/rnase25.mtz xray_data.labels=FNAT,SIGFNAT,merged \ xray_data.r_free_flags.generate=True ncs.type=torsion \ refine.strategy=individual_sites+individual_sites_real_space+individual_adp+tls+occupancies tls.find_automatically=True
Submit the jobscript using:
qsub scriptname
where scriptname is the name of your jobscript.
Another example job script:
#!/bin/bash #$ -S /bin/bash #$ -V #$ -cwd $PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH/main/source/bin/fixbb.linuxgccrelease -in:file:s \ $PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH/demos/public/domain_insertion/rosetta_outputs/AnchoredPDBCreator/S_0001.pdb
Parallel batch job submission
Given an example parallel jobscript, including suitable PE if applicable. If it does not run in parallel state that.
