[ccp4bb] Building NCS mate in Coot

2008-07-30 Thread Partha Chakrabarti
Hi

While building from scratch in Coot (3A resolution), if I can supply
NCS operators in CCP4 format, is it possible to display NCS related
molecules in the same way as crystallographic symmetry related ones?
External scheme script is fine if that is the way..

(I worked out the operators using NCS6D and IMP (Uppsala) and refined it in DM.)

Regards, Partha

Yes.

If you are using strict NCS, you can use mtrix-to-ncs-matrix.awk to add 
strict NCS matrices (from your MTRIX cards in the pdb file (it uses 
add-strict-ncs-matrix).  Then use Cell  Symmetry - Symmetry by 
Molecule - Display Near Chains.


See the Using Strict NCS section in the Coot User Manual.

If you are using non-strict NCS, add-ncs-matrix is what you want.
