Hi Tim,
Thanks for your replay. All pdb monomers have the same primary sequence
and a perfect matching long helix, which I have used to superpose the
coordinates. Such helix is almost straight so that, the idea would be to
create a vector along the helix main axis, shift this axis to a some
distance (perhaps minimizing clashes) and apply 4-fold rotation. A
second step would be to take these into pdbset to make things in batch
mode. It sounds simple, but don't know the easiest way/programs to do
that. I can do just the basics in Coot. I remember that Xfit had some
options to trace vectors inside a cell and give it rotation properties.
However, Xfit seems to be frozen and integration with pdbset would be
painful.
Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,
this sentence of yours, "All pdb's are superposed by a common sequence
region, which also will be part of the tetramer interface." probably
hides the information which would be necessary for a reasonable answer
to your question.
If you still are stuck, you might post again with a more detailed
description of what you mean.
Cheers, Tim

Dear CCP4bb list,
Thank you very much all of you who have answered my post. I'm really
sorry if I was unclear. Such operation is so unusual that I could be
able to express myself appropriately. From quick reading some replies
(James Stroud and Guillaume Ponchel), it seems is possible do build
artificial tetramers with Coot. Several problems have been raised like
clashes, unusual interfaces and so on. A second step would be to take
Coot's rotation and translation matrix and apply it to all pdb's in
batch mode with pdbset. All pdb's are superposed by a common sequence
region, which also will be part of the tetramer interface. I'll try to
make things work.
Once more, sorry for any inconvenience and thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Fred
