DAMAVER Manual

Typical Model Selection & Averaged Model Generation

This is beta distribution of a set of programs to align ab initio low resolution models (e.g. provided by DAMMIN and/or GASBOR) and to build "the most probable" model.

The program package requires the last version of SUPCOMB

This suite contains following programs:

DAMAVER: average aligned models and compute probability map
DAMFILT: filter the averaged model at a given cut-off volume
DAMSEL: compare all models, find most probable and outliers (uses SUPCOMB)
DAMSUP: align all models with the most probable one (uses SUPCOMB)
DAMSTART: generates from the averaged model an input file with fixed core for DAMMIN (for those who wants to refine the averaged model)
  • The command "damaver /a" runs the entire procedure in batch mode using ALL *.pdb files in the current directory

  • All the programs can be run separately and interactively. To get help, type "programname /h"

Default output files:
damsel.inp: list of *.pdb files (made by DAMSEL) 
damsel.log: comparison made by DAMSEL (input for DAMSUP) 
damsup.log: superposition made by DAMSUP (input for DAMAVER) 
files *r.pdb (superimposed with the most typical model by DAMSUP, except for the discarded ones) 
damaver.pdb: overall volume after averaging (made by DAMAVER) 
damstart.pdb: input file with fixed core for DAMMIN refinement 
damfilt.pdb (default final model): filtered volume at half of the excluded volume of damaver.pdb
