Re: [COOT] problems with ssDNA chi angles
Thank you! That's exactly what I needed. I guess the randomness I was experiencing previously was just me randomly clicking on different atoms in the residue.

Is there some way to indicate my desire to coot? It seems to work the way I want every once and awhile, but it's random. Hi Scott, The bug I mentioned this morning may be biting you. If not that, then the atom tree root is the atom you click on and the sub-trees are built up from that atom. i.e. when picking the residue for chi angle manipulation, click on a atom that you wish to remain stationary. See section 5.11 of the User Manual http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot/doc/chapters/user-manual_5.html#SEC111 (if not that, more info is required). Regards, Paul.
Re: [COOT] Bring all windows to front?
Thanks a lot, Bill. This xwit looks promising, I will explore it. I keep procrastinating my immersion in zsh... Ars magna, vita brevis! Miguel Le 5 mars 09 à 18:19, William G.

[COOT] stereochemical violations in real space refinement?
Hi all, Just tried to submit a PDB and it seems that LEU is not correctly positioned (CG/CD1,CD2). I real space refined this residue, does the real space refinement take into account stereochemical considerations?

Actually i just checked my structure with the Validate - Incorrect Chiral Volumes. It seems to check out OK, but the PDB doesn't like it?

Re: [COOT] stereochemical violations in real space refinement?
Francis: When I had a similar issue, Paul told me that one had to mutate a residue to be sure that the stereochemistry is correct. Moreover, as of the last time I checked with Paul, COOT does look at the chiral volumes for pseudo-chiral centers such as Leu and Val, so it is no surprise that COOT doesn't catch it. Try either Simple Mutate or Mutate Auto Fit ...

Re: [COOT] stereochemical violations in real space refinement?
Yes (indeed), the CG of a LEU is not a chiral centre - and thus is not refined/optimised. If the the CDx atoms are misassigned, then that is what we call a nomenclature error (I think I got the terminology from Refmac). The last chi angle of residues types TYR, PHE, ASP and GLU used to be checked against for IUPAC convention and thus we used to see a nomenclature error for those residues as an outlier in the rotamer graph [1]. VALs and LEUs are not checked in this way for the rotamer graph. However, there is a tool to fix nomenclature errors, and VALs and LEUs are checked there. Have a look in the manual about this: http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot/doc/user-manual.html#SEC146 In the terminal, it will tell you all the nomenclature errors that it found and fixed - i.e. there is no tool in Coot that will just tell you about nomenclature errors without fixing them too. This tool is not available in the GUI - it should be trivial to add an extension. I will make a note to do so. Thanks, Paul. [1] that was before we moved to the Richardson rotamer probability library, that has yet to be rationalised. Dale Tronrud wrote: Yes, real space refinement takes into account stereochemical restraints, that is what all the traffic lights are about. What, exactly, is the PDB complaining about? If it is the chirality of atom CG, then you should realize that this is not a real chiral center. CG becomes chiral when the two CD atoms are given numbers. There are two ways to do it but a convention has been adopted to make all Leu CG atoms look the same. If your residue is being flagged as backwards, simply edit the PDB file and swap the numbers on the two CD atoms. Some programs monitor fake chiral centers but others do not. The PDB certainly does, at least for amino acids. Check the labeling of oxygen atoms in phosphates if you want a scare. If this isn't your problem please add details. Ha!
