I'd like to start thinking about Phase II in the alternate location business. Provided my solution at http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/proto/altloc.htm is sufficient, we next need to think about secondary structure:

Premise: Alternate conformations retain the same chain connectivity.

I don't know an example, but I'm not sure whether an extra residue (2nd B below) would be allowed or desired?

_ _ _ A      versus      _ _ _ B B



Certainly this is allowed for heteroatoms. I've seen this several times -- different number of atoms in "A" than in "B". I'm pretty sure if this were a protein chain it would be an insertion, not an alternate location.

anyway, it's moot. No longer an issue to worry about.

Premise: A finite number of conformations are represented in any given CIF or PDB file -- atoms labeled "A" or "1" are all in one conformation; atoms labeled "B" or "2" are in another conformation. Atoms not labeled are in all conformations.


moot


Premise: We want ribbons, rockets, and such to display properly for any conformation in the collection.

Premise: Switching between conformations should smoothly render changes in secondary structure.

done

Premise: Sometimes a change in conformation will reassign a residue from, say, helix to turn or turn to beta-pleated sheet.

Question: Are these three statements accurate?

yes, and in most cases the backbone would be in the common set '% '


Question: Are there more premises we need to work from?

I don't see any.
Regards, Jan

then maybe we are done!
