I have a problem with CONECT records and Jmol I am using Autodock (Scripts) to dock retinoic acid on a protein and generate 25 docking positions. Autodock seems loath to recognise connectivity! - so I add to the docked HETATM the required CONECT records. I use a perl script. I use the same script on the 25 HETATMs and generate a pdb file which contains the PROTEIN as chain A and the 25 Retinoic acid positions as HETATM + CONECT records
Each atom is uniquely numbered(cols 1-6) Each Retinoic Acis is identified uniquely by chain(col 6) and residue name(cols 18-20) The CONECT records are generated from the atom numbers When I view the protein - retinoic acid 'complex' SOME of the retinoic acids have 'lost' their conectivity! (tho not all retinoic acids - 13/25 display as required) Even more confusing to me is the observation that when I display one of the 'bad' retinoic acids as a simple 'PDB' file (No protein - just the 1 Retinoic acid molecule) the connectivity is fine! Can some one elucidate the rules Jmol uses to display the CONECT records in the 'correct' manner svp yours etc below is a HET set that is fine alone but looses C7-C8 and C6-C7 connectivity when viewed in the complex of Protein and 25 Retinoic acids HETATM 5545 C8 D03 D 4.302 -14.703 33.035 HETATM 5546 C9 D03 D 4.962 -15.735 32.295 HETATM 5547 C19 D03 D 4.899 -17.196 32.590 HETATM 5548 C7 D03 D 3.747 -15.066 34.309 HETATM 5549 C6 D03 D 2.441 -14.585 34.670 HETATM 5550 C5 D03 D 2.207 -13.243 35.023 HETATM 5551 C1 D03 D 1.428 -15.698 34.708 HETATM 5552 C4 D03 D 0.828 -12.750 35.250 HETATM 5553 C18 D03 D 3.283 -12.231 35.143 HETATM 5554 C3 D03 D -0.096 -13.887 35.602 HETATM 5555 C2 D03 D 0.025 -15.087 34.687 HETATM 5556 C17 D03 D 1.678 -16.512 35.974 HETATM 5557 C16 D03 D 1.659 -16.655 33.543 HETATM 5558 C10 D03 D 5.750 -15.266 31.201 HETATM 5559 C11 D03 D 5.117 -15.075 29.951 HETATM 5560 C12 D03 D 6.060 -14.635 28.932 HETATM 5561 C13 D03 D 6.460 -15.569 27.907 HETATM 5562 C14 D03 D 5.882 -15.308 26.654 HETATM 5563 C20 D03 D 7.399 -16.716 28.119 HETATM 5564 C15 D03 D 6.175 -16.168 25.517 HETATM 5565 O2 D03 D 7.117 -15.827 24.778 HETATM 5566 O1 D03 D 5.454 -17.168 25.244 CONECT 5551 5555 5549 5557 5556 CONECT 5555 5554 CONECT 5554 5552 CONECT 5552 5550 CONECT 5550 5549 5553 CONECT 5549 5548 CONECT 5548 5545 CONECT 5545 5546 CONECT 5546 5558 5547 CONECT 5558 5559 CONECT 5559 5560 CONECT 5560 5561 CONECT 5561 5562 5563 CONECT 5562 5564 CONECT 5564 5565 -- Phil Cunningham Senior Bioinformatics Officer Room 3.157 Franklin Wilkins Building Department of Biochemistry King's College University of London 150 Stanford Street London SE1 9NH tel 020 7848 4239 fax 020 7848 4500 email [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
