What about to do a cartesian morphing with the mutated residue added (or removed) atoms having initial ( or final) coordinates taken from previous common atom? Will work? Coloring may be a factor... but with a manual editing perhaps...

Does anybody know, please, any alternative program or trick to transfom the side chain of a residues into its mutated counterpart, please, with a nice and smooth visual effect? Does LSQMAN, for example, sort this problem out? It is not clear to me reading the manual.


no, it won't. however, in certain cases you can fool it into doing silly transmogrifications like in the animated hic-up logo (http://xray.bmc.uu.se/hicup/hicup_anim.gif). this was generated as a Cartesian morph from hetero compound RE9 (in PDB entry 1CBQ) to REA (1CBS). the two hetero compounds have the same number of heavy atoms, with the same names.
