My first reaction to this is check the archives!

Then I tried it myself.

Then my reaction was the archives are hideous - practically useless.  
What are jiscmail playing at?  Grrr..


Anyway, those nice people in Texas save us...

[ccp4bb] Question about the covalent Link between PLP Lysine

2009-10-09 Thread Christian Rausch

Dear Sampath!

Refmac5's dictionary uses LLP to encode the 
LYSINE-PYRIDOXAL-5*-PHOSPHATE, a modified lysine residue with its NZ- 
amino group covalently bound via a Schiff base to a pyridoxal phosphate.

See http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/refmac5/dictionary/list-of-ligands.html

Have a look at the attached file LLP.pdb (e.g. in PyMOL).

In Coot, move your PLP towards the NZ of the active site LYS. 
Superimpose the aldehyde oxygen of PLP onto the NZ. Save both structures 
and  replace the ATOM coordinates of the modified LYS with a HETATM 
record as you can see in the file LLP.pdb using the coordinates of 
your LYS and PLP accordingly.
Wherever this modified LYS appears in three letter code in your PDB-file 
replace it by LLP. You might need to correct the atom numbers 
accordingly. The use this structure for refmac.

You can try JLigand from

http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~pyoung/JLigand/JLigand.html

to create link and then add link record on your pdb
