Dear David and Rodrigo

Thanks for reply... I used nab and hopefully doing correct (almost taken from manual) as shown below


molecule m; string seq; string cseq;
seq = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
cseq = wc_complement( seq, "", "dna" );
m = wc_helix( seq, "", "dna", cseq, "", "dna", 2.25, -4.96, 34.28.0, 3.38, "s5a5s3a3" );
putpdb ("test.pdb",m);


I have further two queries:


1) Is it really necessary to use bdna ( ) function here. I could not compile with bdna () using programme like this (always getting some syntax error, though I expect same result):

string seq;
seq = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
bdna (seq)
{molecule m;string cseq;
cseq = wc_complement( seq, "", "dna" );
m = wc_helix( seq, "", "dna",cseq, "", "dna",2.25, -4.96, 34.28, 3.38, "s5a5s3a3" );
putpdb ("test.pdb",m);
};


2) For 10.5 bp/turn I changed the twist from 36 to 34.28. I dont know what would be the ideal params for 10.5 bp/turn B-DNA. Should I keep the xoffset (2.25 Å), inclination (-4.96 Å)  3.38 Å rise same?


Thanks

In addition to the response already posted, you could look at Section 15.12
of the AmberTools Manual "Creating Watson-Crick Duplexes".  The wc_helix()
routine allows the user to input the desired twist.
