I have a very large complex of proteins and I would like to use COOT to apply NCS edits in the case where the “master copy” is not chain A of my complex but any given chain.
The script that I currently use (example only, actual number of molecules is much larger) (copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains 0 "A" 1 500 (list "B" "C" "D" "E")) works only for A but for this I need to temporarily rename molecules, making any molecule I wish to be "master" also to be "A". It is O.K. to do this renaming once or twice, but not convenient if the extensive rebuilding of the complex is considered. Q1. Is there currently a possibility to use a different chain as the master for the NCS edits in COOT? Q2. If so, could someone please let me know how? Q3. If not, would it be possible to program this into Coot for the future for complicated cases? Q4. Is there another option, not COOT?
