Hi Tim,
Not a stupid question at all. This is how I came to think that version
6.0 uses atoms with alternative conformations:
If I do the same superposition (with a pdb file that contains
alternative conformations) with LSQKAB version 6.0 and 6.1:
1) Version 6.0 reports 110 atoms "to be refined" and does not report any
error or warning. The loggraph contains data for the residues with
alternative conformations.
2) Version 6.1 reports 97 atoms "to be refined", and it reports 13 atoms
as "no match for workcd atom [...]". The loggraph does NOT contain data
for the residues with alternative conformations.
Based on that, I have assumed that version 6.0 does include atoms in
alternative conformations (in fact, it seems to take into account each
conformations independently).
Bye
Jose
