Thanks Paul - I love the ccp4 suite. I'm interested in knowing if there is any other solution out there that may be more economical in licensing, especially if I only go as far as coot as a "commercial user". Are you suggesting that coot may not be a freeware anymore in the near future? Yours, Ja

Just would love to know what else is out there in addition to ELBOW in Phenix? Acedrg is the modern dictionary generator distributed by CCP4. My utility is to generate the .pdb and .cif files from a SMILES string that would allow me to do compound fitting and real-space refinement in coot, I

Thank you Patrick, RNA structure is still structural biology, so I think relevant here.  It seems to me that RNA as a thermometer would be an easy hypothesis to test?  Has anyone measured virulence vs temperature in cell culture? The 3D structure of the genome is no doublt important.  I would

Dear Gihan, The most likely thing I can think of is that the sequence contains a character not recognised as a legitimate one-letter code. This could happen if you use a special letter coding for an ambiguous residue, or if you say it’s a nucleic acid sequence instead of a protein sequence. S
