Hello everyone,

I have two pdb files for molecule A (A.pdb and A_polyala.pdb) from which I would like to make a hybrid file A_semi.pdb. A_semi.pdb will have some residues with full sidechains (so derived from A.pdb) and some residues with only a C-beta atom for a sidechain (so derived from A_polyala.pdb). The residues I would like mutated are listed in file B.txt (in total about 250 residues to be mutated). I could do this by hand but I figure there must be a fater way to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to do this? Is there some unix search-and-replace command line I could use to replace all lines of text in A.pdb containing ### (spaced appropriately) with those lines of text in A_polyala.pdb containing the same ###, and then have it repeat this for all ~250 residues listed in the file B.txt?

Many thanks in advance,

Shekeb

You can assign a sequence to a pdb file in Xfit for example, but it will replace the sidechain only with the top rotamer, so you will have to walk through your chain and actually fit it to your density.

If I remeber it correctly also arp/wARP has such a feature to assign a sequence to a pdb file.

You can also run Molrep and assign a sequence and then stop molrep and take the assigned.pdb file.

Not sure if Coot 0.3.1 sports this feature now, it was always planned, but not sure if ever implemented.
