Hi CCLers,
Does software exist that will take a PDB format file with non-standard
atom names and determine the standard atom labelling for the atoms in a
file (if the file contains a protein with regular amino acid
residues)?
I have a PDB file that was run through a chemistry utility, and in the
process the usual PDB labelling (i.e. CA, CB, HB etc.) was changed to a
much less informative format. The program also modified the structure
in such a way that pasting the old names in to the appropriate field is
not feasible. To check all atoms would be time-consuming, but since
most amino acids in the protein are unmodified, the correct atom
labelling should be clear from the bond topology. Is there a program
that will read the topology and determine the standard atom names?
Cheers,
Seth
