Thanks, Pengfei!
I now successfully modify the sidechain.bcl file for my system but new questions come that:
The metal Calcium in my protein's active site links with .O.. atom which is not on sidechain
so, The sidechain.bcl is that:
# Create bonds with Calcium
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/AN1/.OD1
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/VA1/.O.. (VA1=VAL)
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/TR1/.O.. (TR1=TRP)
that first line OD1 has no problem, but the last two containg .O.. atom in backbone. I check the bcl.log file, it says:
### ### ### ###
### MTK++ Info ###
### Function: selection::parse ###
### Message: selection string = /2xjp/CLR/VA1/.O..
### ### ### ###
### ### ### ###
### MTK++ Error ###
### Function: selection::parse ###
### Message: /col/mol/smol/atom selection error (7) ... exiting
### ### ### ###
### ### ### ###
### MTK++ Error ###
### Function: MCPB::createBond ###
### Message: Error in selection parsing ... exiting
### ### ### ###
It seems that sidechain.bcl only pocess metal interacts with sidechain??? Not atom in backbone??
Thanks for your kind help!
