Dear all, Sorry for a non-ccp4 question. I am trying to refine a structure of protein-RNA complex. The RNA have two 5-iodo-U in one chain. I used the following patch in generate.inp so that an I5 atom is added to the C5 atom of the Uracil. I add patch statement at the bottem of generate.inp
{* any special nucleic acid patches can be applied here *} {===>} patch U5I reference=nil=((residue 3 or residue 12 ) and segid B ) end {<===} However when I run generate.inp, the result is like this: CNSsolve> {* any special nucleic acid patches can be applied here *} CNSsolve> {===>} CNSsolve> patch U5I PATCH> reference=1=((residue 3 or residue 12) and segid B) SELRPN: 0 atoms have been selected out of 1941 PATCH> end %PATCH-ERR: to be modified atom C5 not found in molecular structure. %PATCH-ERR: no set found for atom to be added %PATCH-ERR: to be deleted bond C5 I5 not found in molecular structure. %PATCH-ERR: to be deleted angle I5 C5 C4 not found in molecular structure. %PATCH-ERR: to be deleted angle I5 C5 C6 not found in molecular structure. %PATCH-ERR: to be deleted improper I5 O4 C6 C5 not found in molecular structure. SCRATC-warning: STORe selections erased.

It seems that the patch which I add didn't work and 0 atoms have been selected out of 1941 atoms. Could anybody know how to add patch statement correctly in generate.inp? Another question is how to precess phosphate group in 5' in the RNA? It seems patch also needed to be state in generate.inp. Thanks very much in advance!
