General discussions (Q&As) / how x3DNA locates the base-pairs for calculating the helical parameters
« on: January 10, 2017, 12:32:59 am »
Dear All,
I wanted to understand how x3DNA locates the base-pairs for calculating the helical parameters from a PDB coordinate file. Specifically, does it find the corresponding base pairs from the same residue number, or, does it find the right base-pair that is spatially closest?
For example, one may have a n-length sequence which is -(AT)- . For, say, the 10th base (A), will it locate the corresponding 10th (T) nucleotide?
How can I interpret it from the generated output file?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
