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.

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] 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.

Cathy Lawson wrote: Thanks Paul. I thought it would be something like that. Now I've tested again, I see that torsion general works fine for side chain bonds, but it doesn't seem to work for main-chain, does this sound right? It works for only a single residue/monomer. In some earlier vintage crystallography graphics programs it was possible to "tor" main chain bonds and make a large chunk of structure twirl around on the screen along with the rotating bond Frank von Delft asked for this too. I would guess that he uses the same "vintage crystallography graphics programs" as you do/did. :-). I'll make a note. Thanks, Paul.
[COOT] chi angles recently
I recently found that for 2 weeks or so the chi angles code was broken. Sorry about that (I'd been trying to get conformation sampling to work better). As of rev 1920, things are back to how they used to be. Thanks to Joel Bard for pointing out the problem. Paul.
