I vaguely remember that setting the reference chain to your chain of choice in the "NCS Ghost Control" dialog somehow makes the "Copy NCS Residue Range" work for non-A chains. I may be wrong.

I would rather avoid using it, since (from what I understood) it would also replace residues 273-278 of chains C and D. Isn't this correct?

But I gave it a try, however it does not seem to change my model. Output:
INFO: operating on molecule number  2
WARNING:: failed to find master_chain_id "B" in 3 NCS ghosts
ghost: chainid "B" has NCS master "[GHOST Name: NCS found from matching Chai
n B onto Chain A, chain-id: B, target-chain-id: A, displayed? 1]"
ghost: chainid "C" has NCS master "[GHOST Name: NCS found from matching Chai

ghost: chainid "D" has NCS master "[GHOST Name: NCS found from matching Chai
n D onto Chain A, chain-id: D, target-chain-id: A, displayed? 0]"

But if I try to copy residues 273-278 of chain A (bad ones) using the suggested extension, it works (i.e. now I have 4 pretty messed up chains). Is this* a bug? (* - it allows me to select a chain but it only works with chain A selected) By the way, I am using Wincoot 0.7 Clayton (revision 4459) [with python 2.6.6 embedded].

I just tried renaming/ordering the chains, performing the NCS fix in Coot, re-renaming/re-ordering the chains. And it worked, however it would be great to be able to use the copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains script in the future (to copy select residues from any chain to any target chain(s)), hence I would greatly appreciate some advice on the proper syntax for the command in Python.

Does Extensions -> NCS -> Copy NCS Residue Range not work ?

Dear all,

I am working with a 4-fold NCS. Chain A has residues 273 through 278 pretty messed up, but those residues from Chain B seem to fit pretty well the density for Chain A (as seem by NCS Ghost Control). Hence I would to replace residues 273-278 of Chain A by those of Chain B with appropriate rotation(s)-translation(s).

After looking Coot's manual it seems that I need to use a script (the GUI would also change Chains C and D which I do not want), namely copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains. From the example I think that I would need something like:
(copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains 0 "B" 273 278 (list "A"))

but since I have a python Coot, I am unsure what to use. I tried without success* the following:

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,(list "A"))

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,"A")

copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains(0,"B",273,278,list("A"))

Hence, I would greatly appreciate some advice on the proper syntax for the command in Python (or on the right/better way of fixing the mess in Chain A).

Thank you for your time and help.

Regards,
Davi
