David thanks for your response,
I noticed that the structure was poor, I'm new to chemdraw and its been
giving me a few problems... I have another pdb of C6-CoA, could you take a
look at it? Also, if the phosphates are deprotonated, how will sqm treat
the charge and extra electrons?
Do we need to change the multiplicity due to the double bonds in the ring
and the charged oxygens in the phosphates? How can we estimate the molecules
charge? (For the -nc flag)
By building it in pieces do you mean building files separately for the CoA
and the acyl chain and loading those separately into the protein? I was
able to load CoA alone into the protein but I'm not sure how to go about
placing both of them in the correct positions. I'm using the Sustiva
tutorial as a starting point for this work, would loading 2 be similar to
that tutorial, or would I have to go about it in a completely different way?
Thanks again,
Erin
