PDBFixer API cannot fix mmCIF file #275
Comments
That needs to be |
It's common for proteins to have flexible tails. Because they don't have a fixed rigid conformation, they can't be resolved with crystallography and they're missing from crystal structures. PDBFixer is adding them stretched outward just because it's convenient, but don't take that literally. The whole point is that they're flexible and don't have a fixed conformation. As soon as you start simulating they'll begin moving around. Sometimes people omit the tails from their simulations. You'll need to rely on your own biological knowledge to determine whether the tails are functionally important for your protein, or if they can be safely omitted. |
Thank you Peter, I got the your idea |
Ok, great. I'm closing this issue, since the question has been answered. |
Hi all,
I am trying to use PDBFixer to fix mmCIF file, but it turns problem when reading it.
