1. Overview ============ This directory contains all files for a large set of tutorials on CHARMM analysis tools. All examples are based on analyzing the solveted PDB structure and a short (10 ps) MD trajectory of protein G B1 domain in a cubic box of TIP3P water. The files required for the MD simulation are in tutorial "CHARMM-md-tip3p". NOTE: please refer to the lecture note and html page for details. All input scripts contain aditional comments on various aspects of the demos. Jianhan Chen (jianhanc@ksu.edu) 2. Files Descriptions ====================== 2.1 common files for all tutorials (locate in the main directory) --- toppar/: contains the topology and parameter files (force field) 3gb1_solv.psf protein structure file (PSF) of the solvated system (protein + water) 3gb1_solv.pdb equilibrated coordinates of the solvated system nptprod.dcd a 10 ps CHARMM binary trajectory file (for Intel Mac) 2.2. charmm input scripts for various demos (locate under directory: inputscripts/) --- orient.inp Reorient/recenter the trajectory, and remove solvent rmsd-singlepdb.inp RMSD between two structures rmsd-rgyr-traj-correl.inp Extract RMSD and Rg from a trajectory using CORREL rmsd-rgyr-traj-corman.inp Extract RMSD and Rg from a trajectory using CORMAN and loop hbond.inp H-bond analysis of a single structure, and the trajectory 2nd-structure.inp Secondary structure analysis of a structure and trajectory phi-psi-dist.inp Extract phi/psi distributions from a trajectory solvent.inp Analysis of solvent structure and dynamics nmr.inp NMR relaxation analysis, and relaxation time & order parameters trp-anisotropy.inp Time-dependent fluorescence anisotropy of Trp cluster.inp Clustering structures using CORREL 2.3. Sample analysis results: (locate under directory: data/) --- *.dat data produced by the above analysis scripts *.gnu gnuplot scripts for ploting and viewing some of the results alldata.tgz a TAR/GZ file that contains a copy of .dat and .gnu file Will untar/unzip to a separate directory; can be used to as references for examining your own analysis. 2.4. Other files (locate in the main directory) --- play.vmd a vmd state file to view the trajectory play_protein.vmd a vmd state file to view the extract protein only trajectory 3gb1_ini.pdb regularized PDB file of 3gb1 alone (for viewing protein trajectory) 3. How to run the analysis (see the html page for more details) ========================== In the main directory ( CHARMM-analysis/), run: > $CHARMMEXEC < inputscripts/INPUT_SCRIPT_NAME | tee OUTPUT_FILE_NAME (tee is a command that bifurcates output to a file and the terminal)
