Dear David,

Thankyou for the advice. The program is now presenting a the error below:

nab file:

m = wc_helix( seq, "", "dna", cseq, "", "dna", 2.25, -4.96, 36.0, 3.38, "" );
b = newbounds ( m, "");
m1 = getpdb("/usr/local/amber11.1/dat/dgdb/basepairs/at.XXIII.pdb");
m2 = getpdb("/usr/local/amber11.1/dat/dgdb/basepairs/ta.XXIII.pdb");

Does this mean it does not recognise how to connect the inserted bases?

Kind regards,

You have to put quotes around the /usr/local/amber....pairs argument to
getpdb. Also, the first atom expression is garbled, looks like perhaps a
missing "[". The example in the book has a very complex atom expression --
you should either figure out what everything means, and/or start with simpler
expressions.

Note that simplifying things in other ways can be a good debugging option,
e.g.

molecule m1;
m1 = getpdb( ....);

Then use m1 as the fourth argument to useboundsfrom();

Tracking down errors like this often takes a lot of divide and conquer work.
