Dear x-plorers,
I have two questions about NMR structure calculations in XPLOR:
1. In stereospecific assignments, how does the atom name definition of HB1 and HB2
in XPLOR match IUPAC-IUB definition of H beta 2 and H beta 3? As the definition
of atom names HB1 and HB2 is essential to the correct setup of NOE restraints.
2. If the disulfide bonds of a protein have been determined, must the PSF file contain
the disulfide linkage? Could one exclude the disulfide linkage in the PSF file
and use patch DISU topology statements to add S-S bonds instead when necessary for
structure calculations? As from my own experience, I found the latter has an
advantage over the former.
Thanks very much in advance for any of your kind help!
Youxing.
