K.1. Example of a PDB file

The first part of a typical PDB input file. See text. The Password 'New York, NY' is in the HEADER. See text. It is particularly important that each item of data appears in exactly the correct column or columns.

K.2. Relationship between Programmes, Directives, Files and Channels

Channel INPB is provided in order to accept a second GRIDKONT output from another GRID run, so that a difference map GRABKOND can be computed by Programme GRAB. See text.

K.3. The lineprinter output file GRINLOUT

Input directives are first printed for checking purposes, and then a list of messages about input from the Protein Data Bank file. In this example the COMPND, SOURCE and REMARK lines are just copied as information, but have no influence on the output file GRINKOUT. The HEADER is copied to GRINLOUT as a record, and will also appear in GRINKOUT. It still includes the Password 'New York, NY'.

In the present case the PDB file did not finish with an OXT atom at the carboxy terminal, but the last oxygen was called OE by mistake. Error message N620 was therefore generated. Moreover, a line of undecipherable characters also occured in the PDB file, and this was copied to GRINLOUT for information! It must be removed by editing PDB. Finally, the GRINLOUT file ends with a general message summarising the overall quality of the PDB input file.

K.4. The first part of an input file GRUB

The column of XLETAS should line up vertically as shown, and a displaced XLETA may indicate that there is something wrong with a record. Notes are printed to the right of the column of XLETAS, but they cannot be FULLY displayed in this figure because a format with 132 columns is needed.

Attention is drawn to the tabulated values 00 00 for ID and IA. These are "dummy" values for the number of hydrogen bonds, and the actual numbers are defined by the TYPE which is the number in the next column. You can edit datafile GRUB and replace either or both of these 00 values with positive integers in order to overwrite the numbers defined by the TYPE.

The Hydrogen Charge columns are not used, unless explicit ATOM records for hydrogens are supplied in the PDB file.

K.5. The first part of a GRINKOUT file

The first part of a GRINKOUT file intended as input for the next Programme GRID. See text. Note that Programme GRIN has used the first column in order to renumber each line with a consistent incrementing series of line numbers.

Directive MOVE=1 when GRIN prepared this file, and column 5 therefore has the numbers 1 and 0 showing Target atoms in the Core (1) and in flexible parts (0) of the Target. The last column is the Van der Waals (VDWR) radius copied from Datafile GRUB, and the two columns before it define the permitted movement of flexible atoms. These two columns only contain data when there is a zero in column 5. The Password 'New York,NY' is still part of the HEADER.

132-Column format is needed to display this file fully, and each line in this figure has therefore been curtailed. The Energy Variables after VDWR cannot be seen. They are off-page to the right.

K.6. Sample of directives and parameters for Grid

These input instructions were prepared by hand. The second method was used in this case, for inputting the directives LONT INPT and KONT. This file of directives would be suitable for Unix. Note that LONT comes first in the list.

The directives allocate the input channels for GRIDLONT, GRINKOUT and GRIDKONT. Note that the channel number for "grinkout.dat" has been changed to 9, and that the file names are in small letters for Unix. The directives also alter the cutoff distance FARH for hydrogen bonds; they set KWIK which speeds up the computation; and they control the printout to the lineprinter GRIDLONT with directives LENG, LEVL and NUMB. The Probe (OH2) is defined and the directive list must always finish with IEND as shown.

The parameters start with the job title: "New test with water (OH2) Probe". They then define NZ1 and NZ2 to call for five z-planes (4 5 6 7 and 8). It is not necessary to specify the explicit properties of the Probe (ie its Van der Waals radius, etc), since these are already defined by the Probe Symbol OH2.

This second method of preparing directives is particularly recommended for Unix-style operating systems. The file is called grid.in and the file names are in small letters (i.e: grinkout.dat). This file would be submitted with the instruction:

grid < grid.in

K.8. Output table of the GRIDLONT output

The first line defines this particular GRID plane. The second and third lines were written immediately before and after the corresponding GRIDKONT array for the plane was written to file by subroutine DRITE2. As both these lines are present, the user knows that GRIDKONT has been written correctly.

This table relates to the grid point with most favourable interaction energy on this z-plane. The total energy is displayed in Kcal/mole, and the three indices NX,NY,NZ defining the position of the grid point are shown together with its real coordinates.

Each line of the table describes the interaction between the Probe (at position NX,NY,NZ) and one nearby Target atom. Details of the Target atom are exactly copied from the PDB input file as shown here. A star * in column 6 marks an hetero-atom or H-bonding HYDrogen atom, just as it does in the input file GRINKOUT. Note that the table contains three rows (1184*, 1185* and 1186*) corresponding to hydrogen-bonding hydrogen atoms, and one row (1119*) corresponding to a water molecule which has been treated as a HETATM.

The final columns show the interaction energy between the Probe and each of the nearby Target atoms. Note that the interaction energy between the Probe and the 'HET' and 'HYD' atoms is not computed (see NETA above) although the HYDrogen atom still defines the direction of hydrogen bonding. The individual components of the energy are shown. The apparent discrepance between total energy values at the top (-4.7739) and the bottom (-4.56) of the table is due to Target atoms which are more distant from the Probe than the last tabulated atom (NH2 of ARG-5). A dummy value (-99.99) in the third line indicates that atom NH1 of ARG-5 is so close to the Probe that there would be a Lennard-Jones repulsion in the absence of hydrogen bonding. -99.99 in the last line of the table shows that the possibility of hydrogen-bonding between Probe and atom NH2 of ARG-5 was considered at an early stage of the computation. However it was rejected because the Probe (at this particular NX,NY,NZ) can accept two better hydrogen bonds from atoms NH1 and NE of the same residue.
