    If you have manual SS annotation (or semi-manual) that you believe
    is correct -- keep it. Likely, automatically generated SS annotation
    is going to be worse. But if you like jumping between tools then I
    afraid you are to live with the fact that all of them have different
    ideas about handling SS records.<br>
    <br>
    A tool that may be handy in this context is
    phenix.secondary_structure_validation which validates SS records.<br>

        <div>Thanks Oleg,</div>
        <div>I was using the 'pdb extract' online tool provided by the
          PDB website. This creates a .cif file but removes SS info.</div>
        <div>Your way of doing things creates .cif files with SS info in
          them (at least in my hands phenix works better here). The fact
          that Chimera does not read SS info from cif files is another
          story, but cif support is limited.</div>
        <div>I think this is as good as it gets. Most importantly, my

                                    One sentence summary is: Make sure
                                    you use secondary structure (SS)
                                    restraints in refinement, also
                                    making sure you provide SS

                                    in input PDB that are as accurate as

                                            <div>Hi All,</div>
                                            <div><br>
                                            </div>
                                            <div>I used a combination of
                                              phenix real space refine
                                              and Coot to build a model
                                              into a cryoEM density map.
                                              I used an existing .pdb
                                              file as a starting point
                                              for my building. During
                                              the build, some helical
                                              elements became strands
                                              and vice versa (it was
                                              very clear to my eyes).
                                              Unfortunately, neither
                                              Phenix nor Coot would
                                              automatically update the
                                              header information for
                                              secondary structure
                                              elements, and I had to
                                              manually edit the header
                                              so that helices would show
                                              up in correct places when
                                              the .pdb file was viewed
                                              in Chimera or similar
                                              software. Not an ideal way
                                              of doing this which is
                                              likely related to what
                                              happened next.<br>
                                            </div>
                                            <div><br>
                                            </div>
                                            <div>When the header
                                              information is removed,
                                              however, as it happens
                                              when the pdb.extract tool
                                              prepares a .pdb file for
                                              submission by turning it
                                              into a .cif file, the
                                              secondary structure
                                              elements are still
                                              displayed when a .cif file
                                              is visualized (bizzare in
                                              itself) but also the
                                              secondary structure is
                                              taken straight from the
                                              starting .pdb file (the
                                              one I used as a base for
                                              my model to which there is
                                              no connection whatsoever).
                                              The question is this -
                                              where does the incorrect
                                              secondary information come
                                              from in the absence of the
                                              header? How to fix this? I
                                              cannot deposit a file that
                                              shows helices/sheets
                                              wherever it wants... </div>
