Respected Madam,

Actually I was not aware of the fact that we have to deposit the structure which is most probable
biological assembly (since in PDB there are seperate representations for the asymmetric unit and
biological unit).
Also Since I dint have any experimental evidences other than PISA predictions and comparison
with the structures from different organisms, I continues to refine the model PHASER predicted.
In addition the PHASER refined model has 3 Cadmium ions inbetween the monomers strongly
coordinated by both the monomers. Hence I did not have any doubts upon this assembly. Finally
I submitted this assembly itself. and by mistake I mentioned most probably biological assembly
section while submitting the PDB, Which gave rise to all confusions.

Thanking you
With Regards
M. Kavyashree

I am sure someone has suggested this - you can submit your coordinates
to the PISA server which will give you a detailed analysis of contacts,
then you choose which grouping you think makes the most reasonable
assemblyn and take the asymmetric unit from that .

I actually like to do that while still refining - it makes coot a lot
easier to use if you are working with a compact molecule!
