Hi Xplor-nih users:

I want to do rigid-body modeling for biopolymer with distance-restraint from 
EPR experiment. following the previous work (Norman et al, 2014, methods; Clore 
et al, 2019, PNAS), I firstly generated set of nitroxide spin conformers for 
each labeled site. second, only the nitroxide oxygen atoms of spin conformers 
for each labeled site were reserved and grouped into segment with segid 
identical to resid of labeled site. The segment will be treated as rigid-body 
with its corresponding domain, And the averaged value of all pair between two 
segments will be used for distance-restraint modeling. 

corresponding, I also prepared the topology and the parameter files for the 
novel monatomic molecule (nitroxide oxygen) as bellowing:

!----------------------------------------------------
remarks file toppar/SPIN.top

set echo on end

autogenerate  angles=true  end

MASS       OV        16.00
!------------------------------------------------------------------
RESIdue SPIN
 GROUp
  ATOM OV  TYPE=OV    CHARGE=0.0    END
END {SPIN}

set echo=on end

!----------------------------------------------------
remarks file name: toppar/SPIN.par
remarks

set echo off end

NONBonded    OV      0.1600   3.00        0.1600   3.00
nbfix  OV    OV      0.0000    0.0        0.0000   0.00

set echo=on end
-------------------------------------------------------


Then, I run script using xplor-nih 3.2 on PDB (SPIN.pdb) file containing single 
SPIN atom. The script is : 
##########
protocol.initTopology("SPIN.top")
protocol.initParams("SPIN.par")

protocol.loadPDB('SPIN.pdb') #  "ATOM   6721  OV  SPIN    1      35.014   8.744 
 -4.057  1.00  0.00      186"

print(len(AtomSel("ALL")))
print(len(AtomSel("not known")))
print(len(AtomSel("known")))

#################
I got error message:

"loading pdb file: SPIN.pdb  seqToPSF: Warning:  unsupported sequence type: 
unknown: SPIN
 [psf] PDBTool:read: atom not found in structure: 186 SPIN 1 OV
matchInexactAtomEntry: found no match for entry 186    1 OV
initCoords: Warning: unable to read 1 pdb ATOM entries  (nonpseudoatom)"

alternative, I also tried to add the SPIN information in original PSF for 
biopolymer  in the corresponding section, i.e NATOM , and NGRP, using home-made 
script. when xplor-nih read the PSF file. it also reported error:
----------------------------
 STRUcture>      17       0       0      20       0       0      24       0     
  0
 %STRUcture-ERR: unrecognized command:
       17
       ^^
-----------------------------
it appeared that the program encounter error when it reads the information from 
section of NGRP (last section). 

Thank in advance for any suggestion.


Best Regards
