Hi,
I would like to pick up this old thread. Do I interpret this correctly that ISOLDE ignores the secondary structure annotations in the PDB header and has its own way of calculating what’s a helix and a strand? If so, are these definitions written in the PDB header when the file is saved, or is there an option to do so?
Many thanks, Matthias

My bad - was responding on the move, and forgetting my own implementation. You're right, the "isolde restrain distances" command works on a per-residue basis, so sidechain atoms will be included regardless. On the other hand, the "isolde release distances" command works per-atom, so after the restrain command you can selectively release the sidechain restraints with:
isolde release distances #1&sideonly ________________________________ From: Guido Hansen hansen@biochem.uni-luebeck.de Sent: 15 March 2022 16:20 To: Tristan Croll tic20@cam.ac.uk Cc: chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] ISOLDE and secondary structure restraints
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I think that when applying distance restraints using the command below also distances of mainchain atoms of secondary structure elements to nearby sidechain atoms get restrainted.
isolde restrain distances #1&(helix|strand)&backbone

What you get when using the gui is something like that:

isolde restrain distances #1&(helix|strand)&backbone isolde restrain torsions #1&(helix|strand) sidechain false
The advantage of those is that (a) they’ll work a bit better when the true conformation isn’t *perfect* helix or strand, and (b) they have a lot more flexibility in terms of your ability to fine-tune their behaviour (for models fetched from the Alphafold DB, try adding the argument “adjustForConfidence true” to automatically take the pLDDT and PAE values into account).

Hi all,
I just started model building in cryoEM maps and get great results using ISOLDE on AlphaFold2-derived initial models. I have a question which is mainly directed to Tristan I guess:
Is is possible to use the command line/script to apply secondary structure restraints in ISOLDE? I would like to restrain the initial secondary structure assignment from Alphafold especially at resolution worse than 3.5 A. At the moment I select each and every residue range assigned to helix, parallel or antiparallel beta-strand one after the other and turn on the corresponding restrains in the ISOLDE GUI. Is there a better way via command line of script?
Cheers, Guido
