Hi,

I generated a multimeric protein structure from a model built in  
PyMOL (painfully, so I don't want to have to do it again!), and  
generated a .psf file with the subunits each generated with the  
segment subroutine:

segment
name="   A"
chain
@toppar:toph19.pep
coordinates @tet1.pdb
end
end
coor @tet1.pdb
end

  and each subunit specified with the segment names "    A", "    B"  
etc.   The PDB file I generated has lines in it like:

ATOM      1  N   MET       2      20.811  62.100  33.497  1.00  
0.00           A

with the label at the end being the chain specifier, and these are  
all appropriate throughout the PDB file.


The PSF file shows the following for the same entry:

1     A 2       MET   N      NH3      -0.100000         
14.0070               0

Again, each atom appears to have the appropriate label (A or B or  
whatever) immediately preceding the residue number in the psf file.

However, when I try to assign NOEs to atoms in the structure using  
the form shown in eginput mef_dna, (as)

assign ( segid A and resid  48 and name hn ) (segid A and resid 49  
and name hn ) 3.0 0.5 0.5

no atoms are picked and i get an error message:

%NOE-ERR   PROBLEM AT     1   -999.000 -999.000 -999.000 -999.000
SELRPN:   0 atoms have been selected out of 5322
SELRPN:  0  atoms have been selected out of 5322

Clearly, my selection statement isn't working, but I have tried every  
variation I can think of of how segid might be constructed, I still  
get the error.  Anybody have any insights?

Thanks,
Tom Pochapsky
