Question/a possible typo in sampling backrub and side chain conformations in mmtbx
by Swati Jain 22 Apr '21

Hi, Not sure if this message was posted earlier or not, that is why I am reposting it. I had a couple of questions about sampling backrub and sidechains using the building or refinement modules in cctbx_project/mmtbx. 1) In the file: mmtbx.building.alternate_conformations.conformer_generation.py In the function def __call__: the if statements for checking whether the sampled side chain conformation is a rotamer outlier or not, the check in the if statement is for "selfUTLIER". Also in the function *set_up_backrub*(self): the atom "O" for the previous residue is not included in the backrun motion, as a result this atom is not moved when the backrub is implemented. I was just wondering if this is a mistake (possibly all instances of "O" being replaced by "self" which would explain both these things, and some other instances throughout the file), or is this code old and not used anymore? 2) When trying to run fit_residues.py and tst_fit_residues* scripts in mmtbx.refinement.real_space, I encountered errors mainly related to chem_data/rotamer_chi_angles/ not being present. Looks like this data is not distributed with cctbx. Is this correct, or maybe there is some other known issue ? I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Swati
