Bump.
I have an S-methylcysteine sulfoxide so I downloaded it from WebCSD from
the CCDC website. So far so good. Available in three formats but I wanted
it to work as a modified residue so I followed the advice here. Opened it
in PyMol, saved it as a pdb file and edited the atoms in a text editor to
fit with a normal residue. But phenix.elbow doesn't treat sulfur correctly.
The geometry is right but it adds an extra hydrogen to the sulfur and the
oxygen - they should have a double bond instead. If I run phenix.elbow
directly on the files downloaded from WebCSD I get the double bond but I
also get a flat system; as if my sulfur was a carbon.
Yes, I tried --opt.
Attached the best results.
My phenix version is 1299.
tl;dr phenix.elbow fails at parameterising DMSO.
Help?
Cheers,
Morten

What are the current best practices for modified aminoacids? I have a peptide with and N-terminal Acetyl-proline which I am trying to model. The initial approach was to locate the aminoacid in the chemical components dictionary (N7P) and replace the residue in coot.
do the restraints specify that N7P is a non-polymer (in which case coot will treat it as such) or as an L-peptide?
Unfortunately the link to the next residue is not recognized, so the residue is just floating about.
Doesn't sound very much like how a L-peptide should behave to me...
