[ccp4bb] Straw poll: polysaccharide building?

Straw poll: Are you interested in software to autobuild polysaccarides? Kevin p.s. I expect I'll have to spend at least a year working on the problem before before I spell polysaccharide consistently.

superpose has two options undfer CCP4i. Choose match numbered residues ( not SSM) Then you must give two files to match - in your case that means naming your model twice. Then say you want to match residues 1 to 20 Chain A to residues 1 to 20 CHAIN B tever span you want to fit. It will give you

Yes but it is easier to take the sweet model for the required sequence and fit that to density rather than do it residue by residue which will lead to glycan structures unknown to the source kim Dear Kim, I asume that Kevin plans to build in electron density maps. As far as I can see Sweet

Hi Kim and Kevin, Even then you can have chirality inversions during real-space refinement, which would destroy the SWEET input model from. There is no substitute for common sense (and validation) here. That said, Kevin, something to autobuild carbohydrates (given a sequence) would be

Hi, I had a dataset which is P21 but with a pseudo-translational symmetry of (1/2, 1/2 ,0). Theoretically the dataset should show systematic weak spots of h+K= 2n+1 compared to h+k= 2n. Is that correct? I would like to have a close look at the reflections. for example, the average I/sigma for

Hi Brittney, DNA is pretty standard so the restraints should be in the dictionary. Perhaps the DNA in your model has non-standard residue names (PDBv2). Are your bases called DT, DA, etc? Do your atom names have * or '? Cheers, Robbie Date: Tue, 26
