All Possible Base Pairs
« on: June 09, 2024, 07:11:36 pm »
Dear Dr. Lu,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am currently using x3DNA to identify base pairs in my PDB files. I have been using the command
"find_pair -p X.pdb stdout | analyze stdin"
which provides me with the strongest base pairs for each residue. However, I am interested in identifying all possible base pairs, including both canonical and non-canonical pairs, regardless of their strength.
Is there a way to modify the command or use a different tool within x3DNA to obtain a comprehensive list of all possible base pairs for each residue? or can we change its constraints to include all pairs?
Additionally, I found in the new version of x3DNA, x3dna-dssr tool is not available. Is it possible to download the versions which includes that?
Thanks you so much,
Parivash

Hi Parivash,

Thanks for your interest in using 3DNA. The find_pair -p command should give you a list of all pairs, canonical or not. Please provide a concrete example to illustrate what base pairs are missing.

As for the availability of x3dna-dssr, please see the post "No more grant funding for 3DNA/DSSR" (http://forum.x3dna.org/site-announcements/no-more-grant-funding-for-3dnadssr/). You could use http://skmatics.x3dna.org to analyze/visualize a structure using x3dna-dssr.

Hope this helps.

Dear Dr. Lu,

Can we find list of tertiary stacks from pdb by using x3DNA? like Example_stacks.dat for RNA.pdb file that I attached.

As I run this command
```
find_pair RNA.pdb bpfile.out
analyze bpfile.out 
```
it generate bunch of files like hstacking.pdb
but I don't know how to get that tertiary stacks list!

Hi Parivash,

DSSR (http://forum.x3dna.org/site-announcements/no-more-grant-funding-for-3dnadssr/) can find all base pairs and tertiary stacking interactions, among numerous other features. Using your RNA.pdb as an example, run the following commands:

Code: [Select]
x3dna-dssr -i=RNA.pdb -o=RNA.out
x3dna-dssr -i=RNA.pdb --non-pair | grep 'stacking:' | grep -v connected > long-stacks.txt

The output files RNA.out and long-stacks.txt are attached for your reference. The RNA.out contains a port of stacking interactions as listed below:

Code: [Select]
****************************************************************************
List of 63 base stacks
  Note: a stack is an ordered list of nucleotides assembled together via
        base-stacking interactions, regardless of backbone connectivity.
