hi there,

I am trying to use cellulose builder on Cygwin. The error msg is make sure the program bc is installed and in your path in order to run this script . Can you please help me with this.

Hello Mudrika,

running linux programs on cygwin could be troublesome indeed.

I definitely shall be writing some more instructions on the website, I just couldn't as yet. 

If you just need a few structures I would be happy to send them to you.

Though, I strongly encourage users to have cellulose-builder installed under linux if possible.

Best Regards.

Thiago

Dear Thiago,

Thanks for offering to help.I finally installed Linux. I have another question. I want to build a fibril assembly like one in maize primary cell wall. How to do that? Also can cellulose builder allow me to build a single chain of cellulose?

Looking forward to her from you.

Thanks and Regards

Mudrika

Dear Mudrika,

in order to build an hexagonal fibril (primary maize cell wall), like the one shown in the paper, navigate to cellulose-builder's directory

and type, for instance,

./cellulose-builder fibril 100

i.e. launch the program with the word 'fibril' as first argument and an integer number as second number. This number stands for the number of cellobiose units in each cellulose chain (1 cellobiose = 2 glucoses).

The program does not deliver single fibrils, just assemblies of them. You can, nevertheless, yank the set of lines corresponding to a single fibril from any PDB file created by cellulose builder and paste those line into a new file.

Individual cellulose molecules are labeled as M0, M1, M2 ... etc. in the PDB files generated by cellulose builder.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards.

Thiago
