[COOT] NCS edits in COOT

2013-11-18 Thread Felix Frolow
I have a very large complex of proteins and I would like to use COOT to apply 
NCS edits in the case where the “master copy” is not chain A of my complex but 
any given chain.  

The script that I currently use (example only, actual number of molecules is 
much larger)

 

(copy-residue-range-from-ncs-master-to-chains 0 A 1 500 (list B C D 
E))

 

works only for A but for this I need to temporarily rename molecules, making 
any molecule I wish to be master also to be A.  

It is O.K. to do this renaming once or twice, but not convenient if the 
extensive rebuilding of the complex is considered.

 

Q1. Is there currently a possibility to use a different chain as the master for 
the NCS edits in COOT?

Q2. If so, could someone please let me know how?

Q3. If not, would it be possible to program this into Coot for the future for 
complicated cases?

Q4. Is there another option, not COOT?

Hi all,

I would quite like to try out the PISA interface in COOT, but it complains that 
I require a newer version than 1.06.

I have the version distributed with CCP4 6.4.0, which I believe is 1.18, and I 
am running the nightly coot build (r4818) on a Mac (OS X 10.9).

Any thoughts?



Hello Oliver,

Sorry for the delay.

pisa, for some reason, has changed the way it reports the version.

Here is a work-around, put it in $HOME/.coot-preferences/pisa-hack.scm

Paul.

I see what you mean.  Yes, this is awkward.

*Q1. Is there currently a possibility to use a different chain as the 
master for the NCS edits in COOT? *




*No.  It is an oversight.  Sorry.

*Q2. If so, could someone please let me know how? *

*Yes, indeed.  This bug/problem/oversight needs to be fixed.  Ihave made 
a note.

*Q4. Is there another option, not COOT?*



*I think that something in Phenix can do it.
