I would assume that the wrong chiralities were introduced during building. It is not very hard to change chiral centers around if you're dragging atoms around in and out of density... Artem -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Tronrud Se

First you should look into why your chiral centers flipped. In my experience the most common cause is that the neighboring peptide bond needs to be flipped. If you just want to flip a chiral center in Coot, I think the easiest way is to "real space refine" the residue and before accepting

Did you set the weight (X-ray.vs.Geom.) too high? In principle, at 3A a relatively smaller weight than default (0.3?) may be used. On Aug 2, 2008, at 8:39 AM, Yusuf Akhter wrote: Hi Everybody, I am refining structure of a protein at 3 Angstrom. I am doing model building in Coot. After s

The easiest (albeit by far not the simplest!) option is to mutate the offending amino acid to Gly, then back to what it should be. Alternatively you could use a script to accomplish the same, but if you only messed up 1 or 2 residues, the above is easier. Artem -Original Message- From: C
