Hi all,
judging from what I see being used by my colleagues, COOT is well on its way
to world domination. Time to learn how to use it myself then...
Anyway, suppose I have "split" a residue, say lysyl, to model alternate
conformations of its side chain. Suppose further that I would like to remove
NZ from conformer B. Upon doing so, the current COOT implementation will
remove the atom. Good. It will also remove the confID from what was
conformer A's NZ atom and re-set its occupancy to 1. On the latter part,
intuition tells me that instead, conformer A's atoms should be unaffected,
namely keep their confID and sub-unity occupancy.
My questions:
1) What behavior is expected by other COOT users in comparable situations?
2) Should a few folks align themselves with my opinion, can COOT's behavior
be modified without unintended side effects? Specifically, I like COOT's
current behavior when "Delete Residue" is applied to alternative
conformations: Delete the conformer completely and set the remaining
conformer's atoms to Occ=1 and remove the confID.
Thank you for your consideration.
Happy Holidays to everyone!
