About the RCSB's download location change
On September 22, 2023, the RCSB unfortunately removed the download location for PDB files used by YASARA, instead of simply forwarding it to the new location. Consequently the options to download PDB files from the Internet, as well as homology modeling stopped working.There are three solutions available:
- Download a YASARA update. The new download location has already been included as a hot-fix without changing the YASARA version number.
- In case your access to YASARA updates has expired, we made a little Python script that replaces the download location directly in the executable. Download the Python script here, save it in your 'yasara' folder (in MacOS choose the folder YASARA.app/Contents/MacOS), open a terminal, change to this folder with 'cd' (so you need to adapt /your/path/to) and run the Python script:
Linux: cd /your/path/to/yasara patchdownload.py yasara MacOS: cd /your/path/to/YASARA.app/Contents/MacOS patchdownload.py yasara.app Windows: cd c:\your\path\to\yasara python patchdownload.py YASARA.exe - Use a local mirror of the PDB, which can be configured at File > Load > PDB file from local PDB.
