Dear all,
how can i calculate the average torsional angle values of a nucleic acid loop structure? Is there any way to know the standard values? i got the information about the average torsional angles for a nucleic acid helices form Jena library but not the torsional angles for a nucleic acid loop? So, is there any way to calculate such values?
Please help! Thanks in advance
The AMIGOS is for RNA torsion angle calculation. Check if you can modify the perl code to serve your purpose
Thankyou... but what am i asking is different. My question is how do we get to know the standard torsional angles for loops to know the possible torsional angle rotations for alpha, beta and other 5 torsional angles of a nucleic acid structure loop.
For e.g. Check this "http://www.fli-leibniz.de/ImgLibDoc/nana/IMAGE_NANA.html" where average torsional angle of a nucleic acid structure helices is given
I remember once going through this book, and it might have some information on the topic you are working on: http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Nucleic-Acid-Structure-ebook/dp/B00AQ49YO8/. I guess the old book on the same topic by Martin Egli and Wolfram Saenger won't be of much help.
Otherwise, ask the Jena people(they are responsive, from my personal experience) or contact any person who is actively doing research in this particular topic.
