convpdb.pl and enerAmber.pl


Save 1L2Y.pdb to your working directory.

This pdb file has 38 models of the trp cage peptide.
Extract model 1:

You will now have a new pdb file with only model one in it. The convpdb.pl tool also renames and reformats pdb files for the needs of different outside programs, CHARMM and Amber predominantly. We ask for amber output here and append the "noh" to tell convpdb.pl to leave out hydrogens. It is best to allow leap to put the hydrogens back in. If you forget the "noh" part of the out specification, then the NMR hydrogens will be preserved but you run the risk of incorrect naming of hydrogens.

Extract the other models from the pdb file.
Use this script ( getmodels.csh) or type it in yourself or just run convpdb.pl 38 times.

#! /bin/csh
set i = 0
while( $i < $1 )
  @ i = $i + 1
  echo $i
  convpdb.pl -out ambernoh -model $i 1L2Y.pdb > trp_nmr_$i.pdb
end
For more options see the documentation for convpdb.pl .


enerAmber.pl

Simple

Simple user interface to sander requiring little user interaction to get a quick energy of a pdb structure.
Simplest example: gas phase energy all defaults:

Energy Components

You can specify different components of the energy:

Parameters

Parameters for amber energy calculations can be specified in the -par section of the command (see amberpar document page).
