Joel,

Some mmdb information still resides at the EBI (including a tarball - newer ones may be available here http://lmb.bioch.ox.ac.uk/coot/software/dependencies/):

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/docs/cldoc/

Information about atom selection can be found e.g. here:

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/pdbcur.html#atom_selection

The link to the mmdb documentation at ebi no longer works since I think
it was in Eugene's personal area.  Does anyone know where the
documentation can be found now?  I didn't see it in the source tarballs
I downloaded either.

Thanks,

Joel

Subject: Re: [COOT] Rigid body fit of trimeric domain

You can use the following function in scripting (here pythonic):

rigid_body_refine_by_atom_selection(imol, atom_selection_string)

where atom_selection_string is the 'standard' mmdb atom selection
string, explained in detail in the mmdb manual.
Briefly, the string should be formed in this manner:

/mdl/chn/seq(res).ic/atm[elm]:aloc

e.g. "/1/A/12-130/CA"
or
e.g. "//*/1-10" for residues 1-10 in all chains (something you may
want).

Hope this helps,

B

Hello,
Having a CRYO-em-map 9A resolution and a trimeric molecule with two
big domains . Each chain comes from the first domain and goes into the

second. After fitting the first domain into the map, I wish to do the
same with the second domain using a rigid body fit (it has to be
shifted and rotated around a triple-helix-connection). Defining the
region to be fitted Coot says always : the residues must be in the
same chain.
Is there a possibility to fit the second domain with the intact trimer

into the map?
Thank you,
Juergen
