TLSMD
TLS Motion Determination (TLSMD) analyzes a protein crystal structure for evidence of flexibility, e.g. local or inter-domain motions.[1][2] It does this by partitioning the protein chains into multiple segments that are modeled as rigid bodies undergoing TLS (Translation/Libration/Screw) vibrational motion. It generates all possible partitions up to a specified maximum number of TLS groups. Each trial partition is evaluated by how well it predicts the observed atomic displacement parameters (ADPs, "thermal parameters") that came out of crystallographic refinement.
Installation
Note: This section will cover the install of pymmlib, including tlsmd, on a 64-bit system running Mandriva Linux 2007.1. However, most of it should work for 32-bit systems and any other Linux distribution.
LAPACK
- Download LAPACK (grab latest version of full package):
wget http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.1.1.tgz
- Modify
make.inc
file for your system. - Enter
SRC/
directory and
make
The default build will produce lapack_LINUX.a
. However,
nm blas_LINUX.a|more nm blas_LINUX.a|grep gfortran_concat_string nm blas_LINUX.a|grep gfortran cd BLAS/ cd SRC/ vi Makefile cd /home/tlsmd/src/other/lapack-3.1.1/ mkdir tmp_blas cp blas_LINUX.a tmp_blas/ cd tmp_blas/ ar -x blas_LINUX.a gcc -fPIC -lgfortran -shared *.o -Wl,-soname,blas_LINUX.so -o blas_LINUX.so objdump -p blas_LINUX.so |grep SONAME ldd blas_LINUX.so cp blas_LINUX.so /home/tlsmd/tlsmd/src/ gcc -fPIC -lgfortran -shared *.o -Wl,-soname,lapack_LINUX.so -o lapack_LINUX.so objdump -p lapack_LINUX.so |grep SONAME ldd lapack_LINUX.so cp lapack_LINUX.so /home/tlsmd/tlsmd/src/
