Hi Eric:

You could try generating a SMILES string for your compound using this: 
http://www.molinspiration.com/cgi-bin/properties

(or search to see if one is available) and feed that into elbow, eg:

elbow.builder -- smiles = "CC12C (C(CC(O1)N3C4=CC=CC=C4C5=C6C(=C7C8=CC=CC=C8N2C7=C53)C(NC6=O)O)NC)OC"

I got the smiles string here:
http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?sid=14717161


Here is the resulting cif file generated by the above command:

Attachment: elbow.cif
Description: Binary data




The compound is spelled lightly differently to what you wrote, so check to see if this is the right thing.

HTH,

Bill

Hi All,

I downloaded a stausporine PDB file and used elbow to generate the cif file
for my ccp4 refinement. It gave the following error message:


0:00 Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise Bondise
B

   Failed to determine the bonding of a fragment of the molecule.

   PDB file elbow.stau_pdb.001.pdb written.
   Bonding file elbow.stau_pdb.001.bonding.py written.

   Edit bonding file to reflectALTERNATIVELY

   Re-run eLBOW with the --reel option and the molecule wil be loaded
   into REEL.  Edit the bonds and save the results as "fixed.cif" to
   allow eLBOW to load the bonding. the desired bond.



I guess stausporine was quite complicated molecule. How do I rerun the elbow
with reel option? What other programs you can use to generate compound
library file?


Thanks!

Eric
