Hi Guys : I'm trying to bin some structures, about 30 of them. I was wondering if anyone knows the upper "limit" for a structure to have a correct backbone, in RMSD units. For example, a structure bundle with RMSD of 9 would clearly have an undefined backbone, whereas a structure bundle with an RMSD of 1 would definetely be precise enough to convey backbone information.
I wanted a more precise bound. I'm thinking, by eye, that anything above 4 angstroms is to imprecise to convey a backbone. But I figured maybe there was a formal treatment of such RMSD "categories" somewhere. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -- Jay Vyas MMSB/UCHC _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
