Friends,

1) I used swapna command with preserve true option but chimera complains it as mangled specifier. The preserve option is denoted in online documentation

http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/swapna.html

2) Just for a try i downloaded the 1VT7.pdb and changed the Guanine (first residue in chain A) to Adenine: swapna A :1.A but i found that added A is rotated. I mean the plane of A is not matching with that G (originally present in the structure). I am not sure if the preserve option is working. To be precise, i want added base to have the same plane as the original one.

Thanks,
Bala
