calcTrace

calcTrace

Given a PDB, compute the DEER trace arising from signal due to adding a pair of MTSL tags added at the specified residues.

Usage: calcTrace [option] <pdb files>

where option is one or more of:

-pair <a> <b> <filename>    - Specify two residues on which to place
                              paramagnetic tags in the "a" and "b"
                              arguments and a filename containing the
                              corresponding DEER trace in space-
                              separated format
-selection <atom selection> - atoms included in the calculation of tag
                              occlusion. ["name C CA N O"]
-writeTaggedPDB             - If specified, write out a PDB including tag
                              atoms in the file named 'tagged.pdb'.
-makePlot                   - If specified, make a plot of the DEER trace
-plotFilename <filename>    - name for a 2D plot file including a P(r).
                              When specified, -makePlot is assumed.
                              [Default: the plot is to the screen
-rMin <val>                 - minimum value of r used in computation of the
                              P(r)                     [10]
-rMax <val>                 - maximum value of r used in computation of the
                              P(r)                     [100]
-rDelta <val>               - spacing of r used in computation of the P(r)
                              [0.5]
-probWidth <val>            - width of contribution to probability
                              distribution                            of a
                              single pair of rotamers [None].
-addUnrecognized            - add in unrecognized PDB entries. HETATM records
                              are always read, but will be ignored if they
                              don't specify standard residue names. With this
                              option, any atom which is not recognized will
                              be added to the structure.
-tagCoords <filename>       - filename containing coordinates for the
                              rotamer coordinates.
-distanceSigmoidWidth <val> - distance sigmoid value (2.5 Angstrom)
-paraAtomRadius <val>       - radius of the paramagnetic atom (4 Angstrom)
-zeroFit                    - if specified, scale experiment and shift input
                              time                        values such that
                              initial maximum is approximately 1
                              at time zero.
-fitPositive                - Fit the normalization and zero time using a
                              Gaussian with positive time. Otherwise a
                              symmetric-                          about zero
                              Gaussian fit is used.
-errColumn <val>            - in the input data, the (whitespace-separated)
                              column containing error values. A value of zero
                              indicates to use errDefault instead [3]
-errDefault <val>           - default constant error value. A value of
                              "deelab"                        will cause it to
                              be computed using                        <m
                              deerlab>.noiselevel(), if the module is
                              available,                        while the
                              value 0 leads to the value being computed
                              as 0.02 times max(trace).
-dropInterval <val>         - time interval (in micro sec) of the input
                              experimental curve to omit at the end of the
                              DEER trace (0).

Residues to be tagged are identified by segid:resid
