Hello all,
I have still a question about LSQKAB
Why LSQKAB gives a rmsd (or a rms xyz I don't mind) non null for
glycine side chains ?
Disclaimer: The following is just humor with the best intentions to
entertain the bb audience and not aiming to annoy anybody, but hoping
that some people might indeed think twice before they post a question.
If you get usually annoyed by my jokes (... or Gerard's ...) do not
read any further. No minorities are hurt by the joke though, unless
there is really a crystallographer called "Percy".
Now, read the attached text and instead of "Infanta's eyes" think of
"glycine side chain in my structure", instead of "Stone of Galveston"
read "glycine side chain in the reference structure" and "more
beautiful/blue" in our case "more similar".
regards to everybody
A.
PS Thanks to Richard Curtis for the original text ;-)
Percy: You know, they do say that the Infanta's eyes are more
beautiful than the famous Stone of Galveston.
Edmund: Mm! ... What?
Percy: The famous Stone of Galveston, My Lord.
Edmund: And what's that, exactly?
Percy: Well, it's a famous blue stone, and it comes ... from Galveston.
Edmund: I see. And what about it?
Percy: Well, My Lord, the Infanta's eyes are bluer than it, for a start.
Edmund: I see. And have you ever seen this stone?
Percy: (nods) No, not as such, My Lord, but I know a couple of people
who have, and they say it's very very blue indeed.
Edmund: And have these people seen the Infanta's eyes?
Percy: No, I shouldn't think so, My Lord.
Edmund: And neither have you, presumably.
Percy: No, My Lord.
Edmund: So, what you're telling me, Percy, is that something you have
never seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never
seen.
Percy: (finally begins to grasp) Yes, My Lord.
