how to change DNA bases in pdb to match the target DNA sequence

Hi all,
I want to change a piece of DNA in pdb file to match the target DNA sequence in order to be used as a search model in molecular replacement. Does anyone happen to know how I could do this? Thank you so much!

Best,
Wei

Dear Wei,

you could use coot "Calculate->Model/Fit/Refine->Simple Mutate" also for
nucleic acids.
It may be worth running geometry idealisation in coot or refmac5 before
using the model in MR.
