Nchemgrids

AUTHOR: Xiaoqin Zou

USAGE: nchemgrid_GB or nchemgrid_SA

INPUT FILE

Both programs require that an INCHEM file be created in the working directory, which contains the parameters to control the program. The INCHEM parameters for both the nchemgrid_GB and nchemgrid_SA programs are detailed below:

For nchemgrid_GB:

       receptor.pdb ; receptor pdb file
       cavity.pdb ; cavity pdb file
       parameters/ prot.table.ambcrg.ambH ; charge parameter file
       parameters/ vdw.parms.amb ; VDW parameter file
       box.pdb ; box pdb file
       0.4 ; grid spacing in angstroms
       2 ; es type: GB
       1 ; es scale for ff scoring
       8.0 8.0 ; cutoff for es and outer box
       78.3 78.3 ; dielectric of solvent ,cavity
       2.3 2.8 ; bumping distances
       output_prefix ; output grid prefix name
       1 ; pairwise calculation

NOTE: The cavity.pdb file should be an empty file. This feature is not frequently used. However, the parameter must still be passed. The pairwise calculation value must also always be 1.

For nchemgrid_SA:

       receptor.pdb ; receptor pdb file
       parameters/prot.table.ambcrg.ambH ; charge parameter file
       parameters/ vdw.parms.amb ; VDW parameter file
       box.pdb ; box pdb file
       0.4 ; grid spacing in angstroms
       1.4 ; probe radius for SA
       2 ; scoring type: SA
       8.0 ; cutoff for SA calculations
       output_prefix ; output grid prefix name

DESCRIPTION

The nchemgrid_gb and nchemgrid_sa programs create the GB and SA receptor grids for use with the Zou GB/SA scoring function (see Zou GB/SA Scoring).
