Thanks for all the replies folks. Tom When using helices_strands_only=True, would that in Autobuild be different than the automatic helix finding at the end of autosol (with no sequence file) ? Thanks FR On Aug 4, 2008, at 12:03 PM, Thomas C. Terwilliger wrote:
Hi Francis,
I would say that a standard run of autobuild needs a decent map (after density modification) where you can see where a model would be built.
If you have a worse map than that, or low resolution (>3.5 A), then try this keyword:
helices_strands_only=True
in which case autobuild will run a lot faster and just try to build secondary structure in, skipping all the loops and skipping chain extension. It can build helices where you can hardly see them. If you are lucky then the map will get better after this..then you can try feeding the resulting overall_best_denmod_map_coeffs.mtz and overall_best.pdb in to a regular run of autobuild.
Best of luck, -Tom T
Hello all
Given a mediocre to bad experimental density map, what hopes does AutoBuild have of building a model? i.e. Should I be able to tell clear helicies and side chain density in the experimental density map before even attempting an autobuild?
Thanks
