No answers yet from the COOTbb (yet), so I'm cross posting this to the ccp4bb. Sorry for the double post.
Hi there, I'd like to model a thioester bond, starting from protein A with an exposed Cys, and having juxtaposed the carboxyl group of a C-terminal residue of protein B. The way I would like to proceed is by: 1) telling coot that there's a bond between the S atom and the C atom of the two groups; 2) regularize that zone in order to have something that makes chemical sense. Could you advice me on how to proceed for the two steps? That is, how do I tell coot that the bond exists and it has to be taken into account?
