Dear colleagues,
While using LSQKAB I have encountered what it seems a different behavior
between version 6.1 and 6.0.
If I superpose two structures with LSQKAB version 6.1 (included in
CCP4-6.1.0), residues with alternative conformations are not included
for the calculations. This is an example of the message in the log file:
- NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM - 995CA A IN REFRCD FILE
- NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM - 995CA A IN REFRCD FILE
- NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM - 1009CA A IN REFRCD FILE
- NO MATCH FOR WORKCD ATOM - 1009CA A IN REFRCD FILE
The program completes the task normally, but it does not use the
residues with alternative conformations.
In contrast, LSQKAB version 6.0 (included in CCP4-6.0.2) uses the
residues with alternative conformations.
The documentation of LSQKAB does not have any reference about the
treatment of residues with alternative conformations.
This problem is not specific to a particular coordinates file. For
example, I can reproduce it using PDB entry 1QG3 and superposing
residues 1127-1318 of molecule A onto the same range of molecule B.
I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me whether this is a new
FEATURE of ver 6.1 or a BUG; and how can this be avoided (i.e. include
residues with alternative conformations for calculations).
Finally, I am running CCP4 6.1.0 in a Linux box with Suse 10.2 (Linux
2.6.18.8-0.10-default i686).
Happy holidays and happy New Year
Cheers
Jose
