3DNA 2.4.3 Rebuild

<< < (2/2)

xiangjun:
Got it -- thanks.

The error message is due to a limitation with Windows command environment. The x3dna_utils Ruby script is not recognized in native Windows. You may consider installing MSYS2 which is more flexible and much Linux-like.

Or, you could simply run the following commands in your working directory:


--- Code: ---copy %X3DNA%\config\atomic\BDNA_A.pdb Atomic_A.pdb
copy %X3DNA%\config\atomic\BDNA_C.pdb Atomic_C.pdb
copy %X3DNA%\config\atomic\BDNA_G.pdb Atomic_G.pdb
copy %X3DNA%\config\atomic\BDNA_T.pdb Atomic_T.pdb
copy %X3DNA%\config\atomic\BDNA_U.pdb Atomic_U.pdb
--- End code ---

You may need to adjust with the 'config' part due to your settings. Then you'll be able to build a DNA structure with B-form backbone. Have a try and report back how it goes.

Beñat Olave:
Hello, I made it copying and renaming the files, I still have to elucidate how to use MSYS2, as soon as I do I will post it.

Best regards.

xiangjun:
After copying in the files in ConEmu, please re-run the rebuild program with the -atomic option as in your screenshot. You'll see your rebuilt structure with B-form backbone atoms.

Installing MSYS2 is a separate issue. I strongly suggest you, or any 3DNA user on Windows, do so since it makes using 3DNA (a command-line tool) so much easier.

Best regards,

Xiang-Jun
