Hi,

No need to remove conformations - I've already implemented a fix.  The
solution is the addition of the 'alt_loc' argument to the
structure.read_pdb user function.  If alternate location indicators
are present in the PDB and the 'alt_loc' argument has not been
specified, then a RelaxError will occur.  Otherwise, only the records
matching the 'alt_loc' argument will be read (well, only when the
alternate location indicator PDB field has a value).  You might need
to wait a little while though as I'm still debugging this.

Regards,

Edward

Hi Edward,

thank you for looking into it.

Why do you think a choosing function wouldn't be ok?

I guess in any case the user would have to decide for one of the possible 
locations anyway (also if neither reflects the "true" state of the protein 
in solution). If these alternate locations reflect interchanging 
conformations the "true" state must be both and neither, especially if 
there is no information on the timescale of the exchange. But then we can 
also ask to what extend data from PDB structure files reflect the true 
situation ...

Neither only one of the alternate locations, nor averaged positions would 
be perfect. I guess it would be good enough to cope with that by deciding 
on either of the positions and possibly re-run with the other position to 
see if it makes any difference.

As a first workaround, I'll try to remove one of the conformations from the 
PDB files with the help of PyMol and work with the two versions seperately. 
(the parser from scipy possibly is also an option, but scipy fails to build 
on my mac)

Cheers
Martin

Hi Martin,

I've created a bug report for this problem at
https://gna.org/bugs/?20470.  The problem is that the 1OGT PDB entry
has alternate locations for a few residues - this is not a new bug but
a deficiency in the relax internal PDB parser.  I'm not sure what the
best solution would be in this case.  I might add the 'alt_loc'
argument to the structure.read_pdb user function to allow you to
choose one of the alternate locations, though I don't know if this is
the best solution.  What do you think?

Regards,

Edward

Hi,

That's a strange one!  I'll have to look at it tomorrow as I'm currently
waiting to board a plane at Lyon airport.

Cheers,

Hi Edward,

I have a strange problem (relax 2.1.2 @ Mac/Linux):

* create a data pipe inside relax (pipe.create)
* get 1OGT.pdb and load by
structure.read_pdb('./1OGT.pdb', read_mol=1)
* load amide nitrogens:
structure.load_spins(spin_id='@N', ave_pos=True)
* attach protons
sequence.attach_protons()

Now I get a very strange error message:
"RelaxError: The unnumbered spin name 'H' already exists."

But I didn't load a single proton before and there also is none in the 
PDB
file?

What do you think, what is going on?

Kind Regards,
Martin
