Definitions

  1. <SA> is an ensemble of the "best" 30 simulated annealing structures
  2. SA is average structure
  3. (SA)r is the restrained minimized average structures

Experimental: Python table calculator

Run the following commands if you want to try the automagic structure statistics table calculator: 

cd /path/to/my/structure/calculation/files
/home/bworley/research/struct-stats/pull
vi options.py
./Table.py
cat table.txt

The step in which options.py is edited is the most critical. All the files required by the calculator must be available in the current working directory and accessible by the filenames stored in the options file.

Use at your own risk. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If it does work, it will complete all tasks described below except the PROCHECK analysis.

Manual Method: Use a set of old scripts

All script files required by this method are stored in /home/PROGRAMS/XPLOR_FILES/analysis.

RMS Deviations from Experimental Distance Restraints

  1. NOE.cor file needs to be subdivided into separate files containing different constraints classes
    1. interresidue sequential NOEs (|i-j|=1)
      1. use awk script: seq_sel.awk
        awk -f seq_sel.awk NOE.cor > seq.cor
      2. the total number of constraints in the seq.cor file will be listed at the end
    2. interresidue short range (1 <|i-j| < 5)
      1. use awk script: short_sel.awk
        awk -f short_sel.awk NOE.cor > short.cor
      2. the total number of constraints in the short.cor file will be listed at the end
    3. interresidue long range (1 <|i-j| > 5)
      1. use awk scrihortpt: long_sel.awk
        awk -f long_sel.awk NOE.cor > long.cor
      2. the total number of constraints in the long.cor file will be listed at the end
    4. intraresidue
      1. use awk script: intra_sel.awk
        awk -f intra_sel.awk NOE.cor > intra.cor
      2. the total number of constraints in the intra.cor file will be listed at the end
    5. H-bonds
      1. These constraints need to be hand collated and counted into the file h-bonds.cor
      2. They should all be located in one region (end) of the original NOE.cor file

  2. Edit energy.inp and energy_ave.inp to include the filenames for your PSF file, 30 best structures (energy) and restrained minimized structure (energy_ave).

  3. Run XPLOR and parse output file:
    1. xplor < energy_ave.inp >& energy.out &
    2. csh stat.csh > stat_ave.out
    3. cp energy.out energy_ave.out
    4. xplor < energy.inp >& energy.out &
    5. csh stat.csh > stat.out
  4. The files stat.out and stat_ave.out contain the rms deviations from experimental distance restraints for the table.
    1. A typical stat.out file will looke like:

      RMS_NOE- Column 6 mean: 0.0410533 Std Dev 0.00483168 (N= 30 )
