RS_fit

   

rs_fit [id two atoms] or [mol res1 res2]

This command allows one to evaluate how well the molecule fits the density on a per residue basis as desribed by Jones et al. [8]. This implementation differs by outputting the correlation coefficient between the model fragment and the map. This function takes values between -1 and 1. The program generates a residue property [mol]_residue_rsfit that can be used for colouring and selection   purposes. The user is free to decide which atoms in each residue contribute to determining the residue fit by loading a suitable table into the database. This table contains an entry for each amino acid type describing what atoms are to be used in the calculation. The following example is part of $ODAT/rsfit_mc.o and would be used if one wanted only main chain atoms in the calculation:  

 
rsfit_PHE             T         1        70
N   CA  C   O   CB
rsfit_PRO             T         1        70
N   CA  C   O   CB
rsfit_SER             T         1        70
N   CA  C   O   CB

In the $ODAT directory, files also exist for only side chain atoms ( rsfit_sc.o) and all atoms ( rsfit_all.o). The first time through, the program prompts for the map, otherwise the map is defined in RSR_map. The     calculation is carried out 5 residues at a time. The following example is edited a bit to reduce output.

  In the calculation of the real space fit of structures to electron density maps (command Rs_fit) O's default values for the parameters A(o) and C may not result in correlation coefficients with optimal discrimination between good and bad electron density fit. Since these parameters covary, there are multiple ways to obtain the desired result. In practice, can be set to 0.9, and C varied between 0.6 and 1.2 in steps of 0.05. Selection of the value of C which gives the highest correlation coeffcient for a residue with good electron density fit should also give the largest difference between the correlation coefficients of residues with good and bad density fit. The default value of C = 1.04 has worked well for maps in the 1.7--1.9Å range, while a value of 0.82 was better for a map at 2.4Å resolution. In a future version of the program, it will be possible to refine these values.
