[COOT] Help needed with copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains

[Davi de Miranda Fonseca]

Dear all,

I am working with a 4-fold NCS. Chain A has residues 273 through 278 
pretty messed up, but those residues from Chain B seem to fit pretty 
well the density for Chain A (as seem by NCS Ghost Control). Hence I 
would to replace residues 273-278 of Chain A by those of Chain B with 
appropriate rotation(s)-translation(s).

After looking Coot's manual it seems that I need to use a script (the 
GUI would also change Chains C and D which I do not want), namely 
copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains. From the example I think 
that I would need something like:
(copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains 0 "B" 273 278 (list "A"))

but since I have a python Coot, I am unsure what to use. I tried without 
success* the following:

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,(list "A"))

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,"A")

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,list("A"))

Hence, I would greatly appreciate some advice on the proper syntax for 
the command in Python (or on the right/better way of fixing the mess in 
Chain A).

Thank you for your time and help.

Regards,
Davi
