It would be difficult because your protein probably affects the DNA
conformation. Do you have some idea how your protein affects DNA
conformation? But I think a brute force strategy trying every piece of
DNA in the PDB as a template might work. Another approach would be to
do MR using only segments of your DNA that might be straight B-DNA.

Subject: MR with DNA

Is there any existing example about anybody trying to do molecular
replacement for a protein-DNA complex using any B-DNA from the pdb database.
I am wondering 1) whether it is doable 2)if it is not doable, why not?
Thanks in advance for the feedback
