<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hi,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I have a very flexible covalent adduct that adopts three alternative conformations <span>(A,B,C)</span> in my structure . Conformations A and C are solvent exposed, while conformation B is buried. The buried conformation
B displaces a regulatory helix (resseq 589:598) by a few angstrom, while the solvent exposed conformations do not displace this helix. I can't seem to write a occupancy .params file that fulfills:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">1.) occ. of ligand conformation B = occ. of displaced helix conformation # coupling of ligand binding with helix displacement</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">2.) occ. non-displaced helix conformation = (1 - occ. displaced helix conformation)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">3.) sum occ. ligand conformations A+B+C = 1 # assuming protein was initially labeled 100%</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">It seems like #7 from <a previewremoved="true" href="http://www.phenix-online.org/newsletter/CCN_2015_07.pdf#page=12" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" id="LPlnk44577" class="x_OWAAutoLink">
http://www.phenix-online.org/newsletter/CCN_2015_07.pdf#page=12</a> is my situation, but I can't quite seem to modify this for my case. For example, something like:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<div>constrained_group {<br>
selection = chain A and resname CPE and altid B or chain A and resseq 589:598 and altid B}</div>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Captures the concerted conformation aspect (1) (occupancy for ligand conformation B = occupancy for displaced helix) and the sum occupancy of the displaced and non-displaced helix = 1 (2), but the sum of the the alternative
conformations A+B+C > 1.0 (w/ A+C = 1.0) (3)<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Incidentally, my resolution is 2.4 Ang. Thanks for any help!<br>
