It should tell you a molecule has been loaded, as well as some of its basic properties like number of atoms, bonds, residues and etc. The vmd console window tells you what’s going on within the VMD session that you are working on. When you open VMD, by default a vmd console window appears. You can use the standard Unix commands in the VMD TkConsole window to navigate to the correct directory. If you see the error message ”Unable to load file ‘1ubq.pdb’ using file type ‘pdb’”, you might not be in the correct directory that contains the file 1ubq.pdb. In the VMD TkConsole window, type the command mol new 1ubq.pdb and hit enter.Īs you can see, this command performs the same function as described at the beginning of Basic Protocol 1, namely, loading a new molecule with file name 1ubq.pdb. Theĭomindex arrays are then sorted in the proceduresort_n_render to be used for the determination of the effective rotation axis in procedure hinge.1. Indices of molecules 1 and 2 corresponding to each domain $i. Transfers the membership information from the list $dindex to theĪrrays $domindex1($i) and $domindex2($i), which contain the atom

Recommended: Set very large to yield full partitioning. Observed at extreme tolerances), a warning message is written. Within the specified number of cycles (this was very rarely $maxccounter: The number of maximum cycles of the.Here is a partial list of variables which may be

Or to customize the hingefind computation by resetting some of the The user has to edit the procedure load to select different PDBįiles for comparison, to change the selection of atoms for comparison, The rotation angle and other useful information about the run, theĭomains, and the accuracy of the rotational fitting can be found in theĪn example VMD session would look like this: The moving domain in both structures to illustrate the rotation angle. A "pivot" point canīe found in the middle of the arrow which is connected to the COM of Representing a left-handed rotation about the axis. The rotation axis is shown as an arrow with it's orientation Both structures are superimposed by the referenceĭomain. Domain domid1 is the reference domain and domain domid2 Relative movement of two domains domid1 and domid2, enterĪnd return.

To determine theĮffective rotation axis (hinge) and other information about the Version, where domains are numbered starting at 1). Largest found domain (note that this is also different from the X-PLOR Tubes in the color of the domain-id, starting at domain-id 0, the Iteratively finds the rigid domains, sorts them by size, and draws Than the total rms deviation of the two conformations. The coordinates in the two structures (local noise level), but smaller The tolerance should be larger than the imprecision of Must be entered in Angstrom units (this is different from the X-PLOR Partition the protein structures with a given tolerance epsilon, typeĪnd return. (default: alpha carbons) and initializes some global variables. Now initializes the program, selects the pairs of corresponding atoms Loads two structures of lactoferrin from the PDB databank. Start up VMD and source the Tcl script by typing
