Thanks for your advice.
I have a question about your last suggestion. My system has one COR
residue at the center, and has DEN residues with repeated pattern like
below. Tail residue of a DEN is connected with two head residues of
DEN, which will repeat until it has 128 DEN surface residues.
You suggested that I can create my own huge residue. In this case, is
it the best to follow your last suggestion? As far as I understand,
after I build up "super" residue, I only can connect them linearly.
How can I build up huge residues for non-linear chain? Did I
misunderstand your last suggestion?
DEN DEN

DEN DEN
\ /
DEN -DEN- COR -DEN-DEN
/ \ DEN

DEN DEN
best,
Hwankyu.
