N_MOLECUL

Items of the menu block "N_MOLECUL" assist in model building ("WORK", "PUT_TO", "GET_FROM","GOTO_SEQ", CRE_OTHE") in the cases, when there is more than one equal molecule in an asymmetric unit of one or several crystal forms. The segment ID items ("SID_????") submit the segment name as argument to the"WORK","PUT_TO"."GET_FROM"and"GOTO_SEQ" modes. There are as manu"SID_"items as there are segment IDs"items as there are segment IDs.

The working modes ("WORK", "PUT_TO", "GET_FROM") are set via MAIN_CMDS:nmol_work_mode.cmds, wheras the segment ID items ("SID_????") invoke MAIN_CMDS:nmol_action.cmds macro.

The menu is created with "main_config" tools command (MAIN_CONF:create_load_nmol.pl) and loaded by running a "read.com", wheras the other macros are generated in "dens_mod" section ("MAIN_CONF:menu_dens_mod.sh") or parts even at run time. For example of a load file see MAIN_DOC:nmol/load_4mol.com.

For a more general frame of appliactions see MAIN_DOC:nmol/nmol.html

WORK

Sets the mode to "WORK", meaning that the next clicked "SID_????" will trigger a new definition of a working segment and display images of all equivalent molecules superimposed to the working segment.

PUT_TO

Sets the mode to "PUT_TO", meaning that the next clicked "SID_????" will copy conformation and occupancy of the "active" key atoms from the currently working segment to the equivalent part of the designated molecule.

"PUT_TO" is on opposite of "GET_FROM".

GET_FROM

Sets the mode to GET_FROM, meaning that the next clicked SID_???? will copy conformation and occupancy of the equivalent part of the SID_???? to the working segment "active" key atoms.

"GET_FROM" is on opposite of "PUT_TO".

GOTO_SEQ

Sets the mode to GOTO_SEW, meaning that the next clicked SID_???? will move the center of the 3D image to the center of the residue with the same sequence ID on SID_???? as has last been clicked (picked to history list).

CRE_OTHER

Creates all equivalent molecular segments in the group from the current working segment using the local symmetry operators from the file.

ROT_MAPS

Will rotate maps of equivalent segments to the current working segment mask. The macro is created when the "WORK" segment is chosen.
