[phenixbb] How to include restrains to DNA as A-DNA or B-DNA

[Oleg Sobolev]

Dear Zhe,

Presently, there is no option to enforce the particular sugar pucker in
DNA. Nevertheless, Phenix still applies restraints to sugar rings so they
would stay in a particular conformation based on input geometry. So the way
to go is make desired conformation for your sugars in e.g. Coot and Phenix
should keep them in it. If it is not the case for you, we will need more
information to investigate further.

Regarding to secondary structure restraints for nucleic acids, presently
they enforce planarity of base-pairs, correct hydrogen bonds in base pair
and parallelity of stacked bases.

Best regards,
Oleg Sobolev.
