DESCRIPTION

cdist reads a tpx file and dumps an input file for disco. Bond lengths etc. are read from the topology. Pairs of atoms that can form hydrogen bonds are given a lowest possible distance of hblen (can be specified by the user). Other nonbonded pairs take their minimum distance from the Lennard Jones parameters (at the combined sigma).

The program uses proper dihedrals to give a distance too, as minimum respectively maximum the cis and trans configurations are taken. It is therefore beneficial to use the -alldih option of pdb2gmx to generate a topology with all dihedrals in there. If the optional pdb file is given, weights are read from the occupancy field, so that not all atoms are part of the disco run, only those of which one of the weights is non-zero.

If the option -engh is on (default) bond lengths and angles etc. are read from another database, which is basically the Engh-Huber data but refined to be completely self consistent. The database name is refi_aa.dat and it resides in the $GMXLIB directory, or in the current directory.

The program can read a file with distances from NMR distance restraints (-d option). Note that these distance are treated slightly different in the disco program, and therefore these distance should be NMR derived distance restraints only.

Furthermore, the program can read an index file with hydrogen bond information as generated by g_hbond . This is then used to set tighter restraints on the hydrogen bonded atoms than on the other non bonded atom pairs, in order to maintain secondary structure. This option is useful only in combination with the -measure

option, when a sensible structure is known.

The option -dom can be used to release distances bounds between different domains to the lower bounds given by Van der Waals contacts. This way, different domains can move independently, but without overlapping. The index file should contain domains that do not overlap with each other.
