BTW could someone help me with the scripting of such CAPPING?
For the pdb I need to 1) find the string where the 3rd column = OXT,
change it to N and the residue name (4 column to NHE), and also the
last column from O to N; 2) change the next string to TER
I tried to use
awk '$3=="OXT"{ f=1; rn=NR; $3=$NF="N"; $4="NHE" }/TER/ && f && NR-rn
== 1{ $0=$1 }1' file.pdb
it produce correct substitution, however put only one spacing between
columns of new string like:
ATOM 2410 N NHE 299 -17.563 -15.711 -15.915 1.00 76.42 N
TER
thus producing broken pdb file. How to present the original format?
ATOM 2448 N NHE 301 -6.821 36.580 65.884 1.00 19.70 N
TER
Thanks!!
