Chain_merge_symmetrization
Modeling workflow to built the structure of the asymmetric unit and the structure of the whole molecule of the human Hgb by applying symmetry (detailed in the general modeling workflow):
- Step 11a: Merging of chains A and B of human Hgb alpha and beta subunits, respectively, with ChimeraX operate protocol (details in modeling tutorial)
If you want to have HBA-refined and HBB_refined (red arrows 2 and 3, respectively) go for instructions to Fig. 13.2 of the modeling tutorial.
Once you have opened the ChimeraX GUI, merge the chains A and B and save the final asymmetric unit writing in the command line:
-
combine #3,4
-
scipionwrite #5 prefix asymmetric_unit_model_
-
NOTE: Before saving with scipionwrite you might want to change the name of any chain (for example, chain C by chain B): setattr #5/C chain chain_id B
- Step 12a: Manual flexible fitting with CCP4 Coot, if needed, in the overlapping area between chains A and B
- Step 13a: Automatic flexible fitting with Phenix Real space refine, if needed, in the overlapping area between chains A and B
- Step 14a: Building of the whole human Hgb molecule by applying symmetry to the asymmetric unit with ChimeraX operate protocol (details in modeling tutorial)
Once you have opened the ChimeraX GUI, apply symmetry, rename chains and save the whole structure as a unique model writing in the command line:
- sym #3 C2 copies true
Now change the names of chains in model #4.2
- sel #4.2/A
- changechains sel C
- sel #4.2/B
- changechains sel D
- combine #4
- scipionwrite #5 prefix whole_model_
- Step 15a: Manual flexible fitting with CCP4 Coot, if needed, in the overlapping area between asymmetric units
- Step 16a: Automatic flexible fitting with Phenix Real space refine, if needed, in the overlapping area between asymmetric units
Once we have the asymmetric unit or the whole macromolecule modeled, we can submit our map and model to databases.
