Does 3DNA have a function to add a nucleotide to the 5' end of an RNA in a pdb file?

My project is to search the transcriptome for more sites that the RNA-binding proteins QKI and SF1 might compete.  We already know that they compete just upstream of Exon 12 of NUMB and if QKI wins it prevents SF1 from binding and prevents SF1 from recruiting the spliceosome there, so exon skipping of exon 12 happens.


I know the motif for the QKI dimer is NACUAAY-N(1-20)-UAAY and the motif for the SF1 monomer (it does not dimerize) is YNCURAY.  After I run molecular dynamics of QKI against the SF1 RNA motif I will compare the binding energies to see how well QKI binds against the SF1 motif to see how well QKI competes against SF1.

I have used 3DNA's mutate_bases in the past in this project, but now I need to add a C or T to the 5' end of the RNA bound to QKI, because 4JVH.pdb (QKI) http://www.rcsb.org/structure/4JVH has the RNA ACUAACAA and I need to trim that to _ACUAAC because that lines up the best with YNCURAY.  The underscore needs to be the C or T and to do that I need 3DNA to add the C or T to the 5' end of the ACUAAC.

I am surprised that snum started at 4 instead of 1.

I think the error message you already have is adequate, because it says "residue to be mutated not in the PDB file" when I pick an snum that is not in the pdb file.

Thank you so much for the quick reply.  The double quotes get the mutate_bases to run and produce 4jvh_250749_RNA_mut.pdb, but it fails to mutate the pdbs are identical:

I cannot get mutate_bases to work.  I am running Windows 10 ConEmu (x64) with 3DNA installed using this:
http://forum.x3dna.org/faqs/how-to-set-up-3dna-on-windows/

I think I installed my 3DNA correctly because find_pair seems to work:

FAQs / Re: How to set up 3DNA on Windows
« on: July 15, 2017, 04:14:46 pm »
I needed to re-extract x3dna-v2.3.zip because at first I just hit the extract button on the zip file then it creates D:\Documents\NYU\Projects\Gunsalus\Code\3DNA\x3dna-v2.3\x3dna-v2.3 and then I copied and pasted the x3dna-v2.3 folder into D:\Documents\NYU\Projects\Gunsalus\Code\3DNA\ to get rid of the duplicate x3dna-v2.3.  That extraction and copy-paste created empty directories somehow.

What worked was not extracting at all and just entering the zip file and cut and pasting the x3dna-v2.3 folder from the zip file into D:\Documents\NYU\Projects\Gunsalus\Code\3DNA\.  After that find_pair -h works (see below), however there was a strange message I got while cut and pasting



I let the files overwrite.

===========================================================================
NAME
        find_pair - locate base-pairs and helical regions
SYNOPSIS
        find_pair [OPTION] PDBFILE OUTFILE
DESCRIPTION
        locate base-pairs and helical regions given a PDB data file. Its
        output can be directly fed into analyze, cehs and Lavery's Curves
        program.
        -s, -1  treat the whole structure as a continuous single helix.
                Useful for getting all backbone torsion angles
        -c      get Curves input for a duplex
        -c+     get input for Curves+ (duplex, ATOM records only)
        -d      generate a separate output file for each helical region
        -p      find all base-pairs and higher-order base associations
        -a      read in only the ATOM records, ignoring HETATM records
        -z      more detailed base-pairing information in the output
        -h      this help message (any non-recognized options will do)
INPUT
        PDB data file
        One-letter options can be in either case, any order and combined
EXAMPLES
        find_pair sample.pdb sample.inp
        find_pair -p sample.pdb allbp_list
        find_pair -c+ sample.pdb sample_c+.inp
                  [then run: Cur+ < sample_c+.inp]
OUTPUT
        base-pair listing for input to analyze, cehs and Curves
        bestpairs.pdb, hel_regions.pdb, col_chains.scr, col_helices.scr
        allpairs.pdb, multiplets.pdb, mulbp.inp

I installed on Windows and got to the end just fine until find_pair -h

linux@DESKTOP-JS6SA18 C:\Users\linux

'find_pair' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I also tried installing 3DNA On Linux (including Mac OS X, or Cygwin on Windows)
http://forum.x3dna.org/howtos/how-to-install-3dna-on-linux-and-windows/

And it all worked until find_pair -h

$ ./find_pair -h
