Re: [AMBER] Regarding nastruct command in cpptraj

Hi,

I recommend using the latest version of cpptraj (AmberTools18 or
GitHub) so that you can make use of the 'guessbp' keyword, which is
useful for detecting non-canonical base pairing. The best way to use
it is to strip away everything that you know does't base pair
(potentially including nucleic acids) first. When 'guessbp' is
specified, base pairing will be determined based on selected NA
strands. It is assumed that consecutive strands will be base-paired
and that they are arranged 5' to 3'. The type of base pairing between
strands can be specified with one or more 'bptype' arguments.

For example, I just tested the following on PDB ID 1NK4, which
contains a single G-G mismatch base pair:

parm 1nk4.pdb noconect
trajin 1nk4.pdb
strip !:1-18
nastruct guessbp naout NA.dat

Note how even though there are 19 nucleic acid bases, I can seem from
visualizing the structure that base 19 has no base pairing partner, so
I exclude it.

Hope this helps,

-Dan
