[Chimera-users] scan and minimization of dihedral angle

[Milo Westler]

Thanks for your help. I got it to run ok. I was a bit taken back by the
numbers until I discovered the energy is in KJ/mol. I'm not sure if anyone
is interested but, I have attached 2 perl scripts (sorry, I don't know
python) that generates the python script for chimera then analyzes the
output.

Make PE_scan.pl (pot_energy.pl) and executable and type PE_scan.pl (and
pot_energy.pl)  for instructions.

One requirement is that the atoms (involved in the dihedral angle) must
have unique names in the structure file.


~>PE_scan.pl C1 C2 C3 C4 > PEscan.py

open your molecule in chimera and on the command line type:  open PEscan.py

An output file is generated named: reply_log.txt

An angle (degrees) vs. energy (kJ/mole) table is produced upon running
pot_energy.pl.

~>pot_energy.pl reply_log.txt >energy

If you have xmgrace installed:

~>xmgrace energy

will plot it.

Hopefully I have caught all of the bugs, but one never knows.
