Xplor-NIH use case

This use case describes how to run Xplor-NIH jobs on the eNMR grid.

An gzipped tar file containing all necessary files and an example of a
job file for grid submission in provided for download. This use case
provides a basis for executing any Xplor-NIH script on the eNMR grid.

File: xplor-para-example.tgz

Description of content:


This directory contains an example of structure calculation on a hemoprotein using paramagnetic restraints in XPLOR-NIH, as described in J Biomol NMR. 2004 28(3):249-246
Created by Andrea Giachetti, CIRMMP, April 2008



t_xplor.jdl:
job file for grid submission, modify path as needed

run: the executable script that will be run

PARA: directory contains all input and output files

saCONV.inp: input file for XPLOR-NIH

Restraints files:

  • pcshifts.tbl : pseudo contact shift restraints
  • rdccouplings.tbl : RDC restraints
  • noe.tbl : NOE restraints
  • metalcenter.tbl : metal coordination restraints
  • tensor.tbl : distance restraints to attach tensor to heme iron


Input PDB and topology files:

  • protein.pdb : protein coordinates
  • heme.pdb : heme group coordinates
  • protein.psf : protein topology
  • heme.psf : heme topology
  • axis_xyzo_3_500.pdb : pcs tensor coordinates
  • axis_xyzo_3_600.pdb : rdc tensor coordinates
  • axis_xyzo_3_500.psf : pcs tensor topology
  • axis_xyzo_3_600.psf : rdc tensor topology


XPLOR-NIH parameter files:

  • ion.param
  • parallhdg.hemes
  • par_axis_3.pro


Execution on the eNMR grid:


1) login as an eNMR grid user:

voms-proxy-init -voms enmr.eu

2) submit job file:

glite-wms-job-submit -o run-xplor.jobid -a t_xplor.jdl

3) check status:

glite-wms-job-status -i run-xplor.jobid

4) when finished get back output:

glite-wms-job-output -i run-xplor.jobid --dir xplor-output
