linedifinition atom no. atom name residue name residue no.
>> x y z
That is the format in the manual of Amber10.So,I think the that is
right format.
We were trying yo run a tutorial.According to its steps,we want to
use nucgen.dat to build a PDB file for a nucleic acid.This is method
is similar to homolog modeling.But the final PDB we got is empty.
I don'n know why?
