-
The scripts for different tasks are now unified
under a single script arp_warp.sh.
This script also offers on-line help and optional
command line parameter input.
-
The side chain docking has been massively improved.
It now builds all side chains for which the main chain fragment
is assigned to sequence. Furthermore it chooses the best rotamer
from a small torsion angle database and performs real
space torsional refinement. It is also
able to 'fill' small gaps between chains, up to 4 residues (this option has
not been sufficiently tested yet).
The side chain docking program can now be used during cycling, thus obtaining
in every building cycle a model with side chains refined in
real space. There is a slight chance of introducing bias here, since
the 'correct' side chain will be 'forced' to density, so the maps should
be inspected carefully afterwards.
The same program can be used to 'mutate' a molecular
replacement model to correspond to the 'new' sequence and side chains
can be fitted before the start of refinement.
-
Some annoying bugs are removed from 'reshuffle'. It can now handle
up to 37,500 water molecules and more than 20 protein chains.
-
Anisotropic scaling is added as a REFMAC option and is now default
in all protocols.
