Example: Single Structure DNA Analysis


This example uses a DNA double helix of 12 base pairs.

Enter the following commands:

cp /srv/local/mdtc1.0/example/single/* .

source curves.com

You now have three ascii output files:


axis.out

which should look like this:

Base Pair:  C   1- G  24 
              Axis-Base Pair Parameters                                         
  
     Config #         XDP      YDP      INC      TIP
  
        1            -0.61     0.18     5.31     0.73
        2            -0.61     0.18     5.31     0.73
  

... etc

where XDP = x displacement, YDP = y displacement, INC = inclination, and TIP = tip as defined.


backbone.out

which should look like this:

Base:     C   1     
                                        Conformational Angles L.H.S             
  
     Config #          d        e        z        a        b        g        c        f          
  
        1           156.59   218.62   216.44   294.34   169.89    40.26   254.80   161.67    56.56
        2           156.59   218.62   216.44   294.34   169.89    40.26   254.80   161.67    56.56
  

... etc

where d, e, z, a, b, g, c, and f refer to delta, epsilon, zeta, alpha, beta, gamma, chi, and phi angles.


base .out

Base Pair:  C   1- G  24 
                         Intra-Base Pair Parameters                             
  
     Config #         SHR      STR      STG      BKL      PRP      OPN
  
        1            -0.98    -0.19    -0.14     3.68   -16.29    -4.94
        2            -0.98    -0.19    -0.14     3.68   -16.29    -4.94
  

... etc

where SHR = shear, STR = stretch, STG = stagger, BKL = buckle, PRP = propeller, and OPN= open as defined.


and you have six postscript output files. There is only one line in these dials and windows to indicate that only one structure is analyzed.

axis.ps

axisbp.ps

inter.ps

intra.ps

lhs.ps

rhs.ps


If you give the command:

source plate.com

you will have Postscript files called page*.ps that look like this:


If you give the command:

source moldraw.com

you will have Postscript files called page*.ps that look like this:
