TEMPERATURE

Manipulates B-values of SELECTED atoms.

Syntax


> TEMPERATURE
        =     real
        ADD   real
        COLOR
        EXIT
        INITIALI
        KICK   real inte
        RESTORE
        SCALE   real
        SELECT ... END

=


... = real

Set B-values to the specified (real) number.

ADD


... ADD real

Adds the specified number (real) to the current B-values.


> set temperat sele segm name MY SEGMENTS end add 20.0

COLOR


... COLOR

Copies the value of current atomic color to the B-value field. May be useful for passing analysis information to other programs via the B-value column in a PDB file.


> set temperat sele segm name ICGB end color

INITIALI


... INITIALI

Set B-values to zero.


> set temperat sele segm name MY SEGMENTS end init

KICK


... KICK   real [inte ]

Gives current atomick B-values a random shift (KICK) with maximum deviation specified by the real argument.

The second argument (inte) is not necessary. It provides the seed for the random number generator.


> set temperat sele segm name MY SEGMENTS end kick 4.0

RESTORE


... RESTORE

RESTORES atomic B-values to the last saved value. Saving is automatic and can not be controlled by the user. B-values are saved before SCALE, KICK, ADD or MINIMIZE commands are invoked on B-values.

SELECT


... SELECT ... END

SELECTs the atoms on which the consequent operations on atomic B-values will be performed. A "SELECT ... END" command can be applied in combination with all other "SET TEMPERATURE" commands except "RESTORE".

SCALE


... SCALE real

Scales the current B-values of the selected atoms by a factor (real). "SCALE" and "ADD" can be applied simoultaneously. First "SCALE" is applied and then "ADD".


> set temperat sele segm name MY SEGMENTS end scale 20.0 add 4.

EXIT

If you have entered the TEMPERATURE module (similarly as COLOR) without providing any arguments, you need and "EXIT" command to come back to the "MAIN" prompt.

Command


> TEMPERATURE SELECT ALL END = 20.0

remains in 'MAIN>', whereas the command


> TEMPERATURE

enters the 'TEMP>' module. EXIT should be used to return back to MAIN>.
