Re: [phenixbb] chain definition in phenix

Hi Kornelius, which version of PHENIX are you using? Cheers, Paul On Dec 18, 2007, at 11:26 AM, Kornelius Zeth wrote:

Hi Tom,

this doesn't help. The last 12 chains are simply thrown out in the editing step.

Best wishes and thank!

Hi Kornelius,

I am checking this out...but for the moment here is a solution:

You can use 2-character chain codes in phenix. They go in the usual column for chain ID and the column just before it.

So columns 21-22 in your PDB file could be: " A" (chain A, usual syntax) " B" " C" ...etc " 0" " 1" " 9" "AA" (chain AA, recognized only by hybrid-36 compatible programs) "AB" "AC" ...etc

Dear all,

I'm trying to refine/rebuild a structure of 48 identical chains. In Refmac the small letters a, b, c and 0 1 2 for the chains work quite well and are distinguished. However that does not apply to Phenix which sees A equal to a. What might be the solution to use?

Thanks and best wishes

Kornelius
