[phenixbb] Restraints file for a new amino acid residue

[Nigel Moriarty]

Joe

The only things you need for phenix.refine to link a non-standard
amino acid into the peptide chain is

a) The backbone atoms must be named according to the convention - CA, C, N, O
b) The cartesian coordinates need to be reasonable so a bond can be
formed between residues
c) In older versions, the restraints file needs to have a double bond
between C and O.

To get a restraints file, if you have the non-standard amino acid in
the model PDB, you can do several different things depending on you
needs.  Using eLBOW directly

phenix.elbow --residue NSA model.pdb

or

phenix.elbow --do-all model.pdb

You can also get a similar results from ReadySet!

phenix.ready_set model.pdb

ReadySet! does some more correcting of atom names.  If you have any
trouble let me know and I'll take a look at you specified situation.
