Solid State NMR (SSNMR) Energy Functions


This module makes the SSNMR energy functions satisfying experimental data
observed in solid-state NMR. It focuses on 15N-chemical shifts and 15N-1H
dipolar couplings in a solid state. A set of these energy potentials are called
as orientational restraints providing us with the orientation information, such
as tilt, rotation, and etc. of in a particular helix. The module is specialized
on determining helix orientations in a bilayer.

Please report problems to mack97hyuk@gmail.com or wonpil@ku.edu

S11, S22, S33: Chemical shift tensors (ppm). They are obtained by diagonalizing
a shielding tensor. These values are given from experiments.
Refer Table1 in the above reference.

PHI: Phi angle (degrees) is defined by a rotation angle between NH
vector and S11 chemical tensor on the peptide plane. It depends
on the residues and also experimental conditions.

FORCe: Force constant (unit: kcal/mol/ppm^2).
EXP: Chemical shift observables from experiment (ppm).
atom-selection: Three atoms (NH, C, and O in peptide plane) consisting of
chemical shift tensors.
RESEt: Reset the assigned energy potentials
PRINt ANALysis: dump out junk data from the potentials

and etc.)

NUDC: Dipolar coupling constant; the value depends on the length of
dipolar coupling vector (NH); in the case of NH vector length
(1.07 Angstrom), it is ~19.86 kHz. If you want the simulation
to be flexible dipolar coupling constant, use the keyword DCABs.
DCABs: Flexible dipolar coupling constant will be used in the
simulation.
DIPC: It lets CHARMM to know the assingment to be dipolar coupling.
FORCe: Force constant (unit: kcal/mol/kHz^2).
EXP: Dipolar coupling observables from experiment (kHz).
atom-selection: Two atoms ( N/HN, CA/HA,and etc.) consisting of dipolar
coupling.
RESEt: Reset the assigned energy potentials
PRINt ANALysis: dump out junk data from the potentials
