Hi Pavel,

Thanks a lot for the reply! I think it will be helpful for the guys work with DNA like me. If I remember right, in Pymol there is a way to measure the angles for alpha helices and it should very similar to calculate the angles for DNA duplexes. But there is not a way to do it. It will great if PHENIX can do the measurement like this.

Sincerely,
Xiang

Hi Xiang,

there is no ready-to-use tool for this right now, but I can spend a few moments and add one so it's available in next Phenix nightly build in a day or two.

phenix.angle model.pdb selection="chain A and resseq 1:123" selection="chain B and resseq 20:345"

The underlying procedure would do the following:
  - extract two sets of coordinates of atoms corresponding to two provided atom selections;
  - draw two optimal lines (LS fit) passing through the above sets of coordinates;
  - compute and report angle between those two lines?

Would this be helpful? Is it worth adding such tool?

Pavel

Hi,

I have a DNA model which is composed of two DNA duplexes. I want to measure the angle between the two duplexes and if there a way to do it in PHENIX or in other software?

Thanks you very much for your help!

Sincerely,
Xiang
