Hello everyone,
I am new to Coot, I am trying to do a DNA mutation but unfortunately i
have not been successful. I am using Mutate Residue Range.
The error message i get is
'INFO:: mutate 2 to a ALA
DISASTER! Not all necessary atoms found in residue 2
CA is missing
C is missing
N is missing
failure to get orientation matrix'
I tried the do mutation with a pdb structure from pdb.org
<http://pdb.org> 1DGC, and i tried to do a mutation on a dna created
using nucgen in amber. Both attempts gave me the error above.
Hello Taufik Al-Sarraj,
Sadly mutate-residue-range is for a protein sequence only currently. It
does say this here actually
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot/doc/coot-scheme.html#SEC13
but not in the user manual (which I will amend shortly).
Now that I look at it, there is no scripting (i.e. ranges) available for
nucleic acid mutations. I will make a note to address this lack.
So for you right now it's either a clickfest (using Simple Mutate) or
some other program - sorry.
Regards,
Paul.
