Dear All, Caused by poor resolution, I can only build a series of Ala into my helix density (for sure the density is for helix). Then I tried to use the dock sequence in the extension of the Coot to change to my target sequence. Coot says it was not confidence on the alignment, thus it did not

These diffraction patterns, called "matzo" (Hebrew: מַצָּה‎) have been observed already by the ancient jews, and it is thought that the invention of the millstone (see http://galleryhip.com/millstone.html) is a consequence of early detector technology to produce these images. Andrea. On 01/04

I think you are on the right track - There are not enough decimal points in your matrix elements to pass the orthonormal test. This test checks that the length of each row (x^2+y^2+z^2) is equal to one and the dot product of each row with every other row is equal to zero. If the values on your
