Hello,
Hope this email finds you well.
I am Satirtha Saha, an undergrad research assistant at UIUC. Currently, I am using ChimeraX for one of my research projects. I need to build structures and download the PDB files. I can do that for all L amino acid containing
peptides, but I don’t know how to use ChimeraX for D amino acid containing peptides. For example, I have a sequence NWF. Now it is available in this standard L format and also in NdWF format. As ChimeraX is not case sensitive, I don’t know how I should give
the command to build the structure with D amino acid containing peptide. Secondly, I have some peptides that have Amidation or NH2 at the C terminus. I don’t know how to add this to my structure.
Please let me know how to solve this to issues. That will be really helpful for me. Have a great day.
