Demo ExperimentDesign¶
This example generates logfile demo_ExperimentDesign.log
.
Modules used¶
Only module ExperimentDesign
is used.
Functionality¶
The demo imports a T4 Lysozyme structure with PDB identifier 2LZM
and stores it with internal identifier T4L
.
It also imports a RNA recognition motif with bound RNA stemloop with PDB identifier 2ADC
and stores it with internal identifier RRM
.
The first spin-labelling sitescan is performed with spin label mtsl
on entity T4L
and stored in file T4L_sites.lst
. The extension .lst
is appended by default.
The demo then performs two spin-labeling sitescans on the RRM/stemloop complex. First, a scan with label mtsl
is performed on entity RRM
, generating site list RRM_sites
. The RRM is scanned only for substituting isoleucine residues by a spin label.
Second, a scan with label iodoacetamido-proxyl as a thiouracil label is performed on entity RRM
, generating site list SL_sites
. Only uracil nucleotides are considered for labeling.
The demo then generates two site pair lists, one from T4L_sites.lst
referring to entityt T4L
and stores it in file T4L_pairs.lst
.
Site pairs are included only if the mean distance ranges between 15 and 80 Å. The second list combines labels from RRM_sites.lst
with labels from SL_sites.lst
, referring to entity RRM
.
The pair list is stored as RRM_pairs.lst
and again site pairs are included only if the mean distance ranges between 15 and 80 Å.
Then, basis file name T4L_distributions
is declared for distance distribution output plots and file format pdf
is selected for these plots.
Distributions are generated with label mtsl
for entity T4L
and are stored in numerical format with basis file name T4L_distribution
.
A list of 8 spin pairs is declared. Note that this computation of distance distributions does not require a previous site scan or pair list generation.
After this, a new basis file name RRM_distributions
is declared for plots, which are again stored in pdf
format. In this case, distributions are genarted for the existing pair list RRM_pairs
.
An orthogonal spin labelling scheme with labels mtsl
and iap-4tu
is used.
The final example of this demo imports PDB structure 1BUY
of erythropoietin into entity EPO
. At sitescan with mtsl
is performed to provide list EPO_sites.lst
.
Site pairs are generated and scored from this list for elastic network modeling of conformation change of EPO. The list is stored as EPO_enm_pairs.lst
, considering only pairs with mean distance between 15 and 80 Å.
Outputs¶
Site and pair list are stored in a self-explaining human-readable format. Figures are stored as vector graphics in PDF format.
Distance distributions are stored as comma-separated value (.csv
) files with the distance in units of Å as the first column and probability density in units of as the second column.
