Respected all,
Since I am a beginner in AMBER, I wonder if we could use the following
procedure to create DNA/RNA hybrid duplex?
Use the following script(as in the tutorial) to create a duplex and then
edit the dT in the complementary strand to rU in the text file and load it
to xleap and visualize. Would that work? Would such a a system be
considered as a DNA/RNA hybrid? I have the doubt because literature
suggests that the hybrid may not be strictly A type or B type. Also what
would be the force field considerations in such a hybrid?So how to proceed
in this. Thank you for any help you can provide.
molecule m;
m = fd_helix( "abdna", "aaaaaaaaaa", "dna" );
putpdb( "nuc.pdb", m, "-wwpdb");
