In case it helps, you can see the diffs between the 6.0.2 version and the 6.1 version here:

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bin/viewcvs/ccp4/src/lsqkab.f.diff?r1=text&tr1=1.51&r2=text&tr2=1.42.2.2&diff_format=h

The obvious changes seem to be some code from Clemens to make sure that insertion codes match. I can't see anything obviously wrong with that code though.

Hi Tim,

Not a stupid question at all. This is how I came to think that version 6.0 uses atoms with alternative conformations:

If I do the same superposition (with a pdb file that contains alternative conformations) with LSQKAB version 6.0 and 6.1: 1) Version 6.0 reports 110 atoms "to be refined" and does not report any error or warning. The loggraph contains data for the residues with alternative conformations. 2) Version 6.1 reports 97 atoms "to be refined", and it reports 13 atoms as "no match for workcd atom [...]". The loggraph does NOT contain data for the residues with alternative conformations.

Based on that, I have assumed that version 6.0 does include atoms in alternative conformations (in fact, it seems to take into account each conformations independently).

Bye
 Jose

Not using lsqkab very often, this might be a stupid question: How do you know that version 6.0 _DOES_ include multiple conformations? Maybe it only does not report their omission?

Dear colleagues,

While using LSQKAB I have encountered what it seems a different behavior between version 6.1 and 6.0.

If I superpose two structures with LSQKAB version 6.1 (included in CCP4-6.1.0), residues with alternative conformations are not included for the calculations. This is an example of the message in the log file:

 - NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM -   995CA  A IN REFRCD FILE
 - NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM -   995CA  A IN REFRCD FILE
 - NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM -  1009CA  A IN REFRCD FILE
 - NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM -  1009CA  A IN REFRCD FILE

The program completes the task normally, but it does not use the residues with alternative conformations.

In contrast, LSQKAB version 6.0 (included in CCP4-6.0.2) uses the residues with alternative conformations.

The documentation of LSQKAB does not have any reference about the treatment of residues with alternative conformations.

This problem is not specific to a particular coordinates file. For example, I can reproduce it using PDB entry 1QG3 and superposing residues 1127-1318 of molecule A onto the same range of molecule B.

I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me whether this is a new FEATURE of ver 6.1 or a BUG; and how can this be avoided (i.e. include residues with alternative conformations for calculations).

Finally, I am running CCP4 6.1.0 in a Linux box with Suse 10.2 (Linux 2.6.18.8-0.10-default i686).

Happy holidays and happy New Year
Cheers

Jose
