Dear Petr,
Thank you very much for your reply!
The complex structure was refined finally to 2.44 Å resolution with an Rwork of
23.7% and an Rfree of 27.4%.
We didn't try automatic DNA building tools, I don't know much about this. Thank
you very much for your advice, I'm going to study it.
Could you please give some specific suggestions about automatic DNA building
tools?
Thank you very much.
