domainDecompose

domainDecompose

Given an ensemble of structures, find regions of structural similarity, using maximum-likelihood fitting.

Usage: domainDecompose [options] <structures to fit>

where the structures to fit is a space-separated list of pdb filenames.

Options are zero or more of:

-selection <string> - atom selection specifying which atoms to use in the
                      fit [default value: name CA]
-mSelect            - specify method of regularizing the inverse of the
                      covariance matrix -
                      if 0 use perturbative approach - add a small value to
                      the diagonal. If 1 use diagonal elements as
                      ``eigenvalues,'' and follow the scheme of Theoboald
                      and Wuttke. [default: 0]
-smallestDomain     - number of resideus in smallest allowed domain
                      [default: 20]
-verbose            - cause intermediate values of log likelihood and
                      RMSD to be printed.
-rmsdThreshold <value> - specify the RMSD value for determining whether
                         an atom is in an ordered region [default: 3.500000
                         angstrom]
-rmsdTolerance <value> - specify the ML RMSD value for determining whether
                         the fit using the current set of atoms is
                         well-defined [default: 1.500000 angstrom]
-deltaThreshold     - how much to reduce the rmsdThreshold on successive
                      iterations of fitting. [0.5 Angstrom]
