BUILD_MAIN

Last: modified: 24-feb-2007

The "BUIL_MAIN" is a merge of several menu blocks. It contains the most useful items of the "MODELER" menu block (modeler.html) merged with come others to enable smooth manual model rebuilding of the structure with no need to switch to other pages.

MOV_ATOM

Moves around the position of the last clicked atom.

Shortcut is "o".

MOV_RESI

Moves around the last clicked residue with the center of rotation on the last clicked atom.

Shortcut is "x".

MOV_SELE

Moves around atoms selected with the key active"with the center of rotation on the last clicked atom"rotation on the last clicked atom.

RT_BETWE

Rotates atoms between the last two clicked. Useful for peptide bond flipping.

RT_CHAIN

Rotates chain about all bonds between the last two clicked atoms.

Rotations about bonds in the rings are not allowed.

CON_CHAI

Connects two chains together by moving the fargment clickt first to the second fragment into a position suitable for covalent bond formation and builds the bond. (For example chains are connected at N-termnini).

INV_CHAI

Inverts the chain direction of the selected part by preserving the side chains on the same positions.

RE_ORDER

RE_ORDER changes the order of residues of the working segment ("WORK_SEGM") so that along the main chain covalently connected residues also follow each other.

The chain names and sequence IDs are automatically updated and changed.

OB_ACCEP

Accepts the current state of geometry changes imposed on the structure using manual rebuilding. It is an obligatory step following the "MOV_ATOM", "MOV_SELE", "RT_BETEE", "RT_CHAIN" and related functions.

Shortcut is "a".

OB_REJEC

Rejects the geometry changes by disengaging manual model building functions.

DIAL_INI

Initializes the dial set.

DIAL_RST

Resets the dial set to the lower on the stack of saved ones.

Useful when several manual buidling functions have been invoked simoultaneously and you want to switch between them.
