This module should not de run in parallel mode. Directives for the \analysis\ module are read from an input deck, \begin{verbatim} analysis ... end \end{verbatim} The analysis is performed as post-analysis of trajectory files through using the {\rm task} directive \begin{verbatim} task analysis \end{verbatim} or \begin{verbatim} task analyze \end{verbatim} \section{System specification} \begin{verbatim} system _ \end{verbatim} where the strings \verb+systemid+ and \verb+calcid+ are user defined names for the chemical system and the type of calculation to ber performed, respectively. These names are used to derive the filenames used for the calculation. The topoly file used will be \verb+systemid.top+, while all other files are named \verb+systemid_calcid.ext+. \section{Reference coordinates} Most analyses require a set of reference coordinates. These coordinates are read from a \nwchem\ restart file by the directive, \begin{verbatim} reference \end{verbatim} where {\rm filename} is the name of an existing restart file. This input directive is required. \section{File specification} The trajectory file(s) to be analyzed are specified with \begin{verbatim} file [ ] \end{verbatim} where {\rm filename} is an existing {\rm trj} trajectory file. If {\rm firstfile} and {\rm lastfile} are specified, the specified {\rm filename} needs to have a {\rm ?} wild card character that will be substituted by the 3-character integer number from {\rm firstfile} to {\rm lastfile}, and the analysis will be performed on the series of files. For example, \begin{verbatim} file tr_md?.trj 3 6 \end{verbatim} will instruct the analysis to be performed on files {\it tr\_md003.trj}, {\it tr\_md004.trj}, {\it tr\_md005.trj} and {\it tr\_md006.trj}. \par From the specified files the subset of frames to be analyzed is specified by \begin{verbatim} frames [] \ [] \end{verbatim} For example, to analyze the first 100 frames from the specified trajectory files, use \begin{verbatim} frames 100 \end{verbatim} To analyze every 10-th frame between frames 200 and 400 recorded on the specified trajectory files, use \begin{verbatim} frames 200 400 10 \end{verbatim} A time offset can be specified with \begin{verbatim} time \end{verbatim} Solute coordinates of the reference set and ech subsequent frame read from a trajectory file are translated to have the center of geometry of the specified solute molecule at the center of the simulation box. After this translation all molecules are folded back into the box according to the periodic boundary conditions. The directive for this operation is \begin{verbatim} center [] \end{verbatim} Coordinates of each frame read from a trajectory file can be rotated using \begin{verbatim} rotate ( off | x | y | z ) \end{verbatim} If \verb+center+ was defined, rotation takes place after the system has been centered. The \verb+rotate+ directives only apply to frames read from the trajectory files, and not to the reference coordinates. Upto 100 \verb+rotate+ directives can be specified, which will be carried out in the order in which they appear in the input deck. \verb+rotate off+ cancels all previously defined \verb+rotate+ directives. To perform a hydrogen bond analysis: \begin{verbatim} hbond [distance [[] ]] \ [angle [ [ ]]] \ [solvent []] \end{verbatim} \section{Selection} Analyses can be applied to a selection of solute atoms and solvent molecules. The selection is determined by \begin{verbatim} select ( [ super ] [ { } ] | solvent | save | read ) \end{verbatim} where {\rm \{atomlist\}} is the set of atom names selected from the specified residues. By default all solute atoms are selected. When keyword \verb+super+ is specified the selecion applies to the superimposition option. \par The selected atoms are specified by the string \verb+atomlist+ which takes the form \begin{verbatim} [{isgm [ - jsgm ] [,]} [:] [{aname[,]}] \end{verbatim} where \verb+isgm+ and \verb+jsgm+ are the first and last residue numbers, and \verb+aname+ is an atom name. In the atomname a question mark may be used as a wildcard character. For example, all protein backbone atoms are selected by \begin{verbatim} select _N,_CA,_C \end{verbatim} To select the backbone atoms in residues 20 to 80 and 90 to 100 only, use \begin{verbatim} select 20-80,90-100:_N,_CA,_C \end{verbatim} This selection is reset to apply to all atoms after each file directive. Solvent molecules within \verb+range+ nm from any selected solute atom are selected by \begin{verbatim} select solvent \end{verbatim} After solvent selection, the solute atom selection is reset to being all selected. The current selection can be saved to, or read from a file using the \verb+save+ and \verb+read+ keywords, respectively. \par Some analysis are performed on groups of atoms. These groups of atoms are defined by \begin{verbatim} define [] [solvent] { } \end{verbatim} The string atom in this definitions again takes the form \begin{verbatim} [{isgm [ - jsgm ] [,]} [:] [{aname[,]}] \end{verbatim} where \verb+isgm+ and \verb+jsgm+ are the first and last residue numbers, and \verb+aname+ is an atom name. In the atomname a question mark may be used as a wildcard character. Multiple define directive can be used to define a single set of atoms. \section{Coordinate analysis} To analyze the root mean square deviation from the specified reference coordinates: \begin{verbatim} rmsd \end{verbatim} To analyze protein $\phi$-$\psi$ and backbone hydrogen bonding: \begin{verbatim} ramachandran \end{verbatim} To define a distance: \begin{verbatim} distance \end{verbatim} To define an angle: \begin{verbatim} angle \end{verbatim} To define a torsion: \begin{verbatim} torsion \ \end{verbatim} To define a vector: \begin{verbatim} vector \end{verbatim} The atom string in these definitions takes the form \begin{verbatim} : | w: \end{verbatim} for solute and solvent atom specification, respectively. To define charge distribution in z-direction: \begin{verbatim} charge_distribution \end{verbatim} Analyses on atoms in a predefined group are specified by \begin{verbatim} group [ [periodic ] \ ( local [] [] ) \end{verbatim} where \verb+igroup+ specifies the group of atoms defined with a \verb+define+ directive. Keyword \verb+periodic+ can be used to specify the periodicity, \verb+ipbc=1+ for periodicity in \verb+z+, \verb+ipbc=2+ for periodicity in \verb+x+ and \verb+y+, and \verb+ipbc=3+ for periodicity in \verb+x+, \verb+y+ and \verb+z+. Currently the only option is \verb+local+ which prints all selected solute atom with a distance between \verb+rsel+ and \verb+rval+ from the atoms defined in \verb+igroup+. The actual analysis is done by the \verb+scan+ deirective. A formatted report is printed from \verb+group+ analyses using \begin{verbatim} report local \end{verbatim} Analyses on pairs of atoms in predefined groups are specified by \begin{verbatim} groups [ []] [periodic []] \ [ []] [] \end{verbatim} where $igroup$ and $jgroup$ are groups of atoms defined with a \verb+define+ directive. Keyword \verb+periodic+ specifies that periodic boundary conditions need to be applied in $ipbc$ dimensions. The type of analysis is define by $function$, $value1$ and $value2$. If $filename$ is specified, the analysis is applied to the reference coordinates and written to the specified file. If no filename is given, the analysis is applied to the specified trajectory and performed as part of the \verb+scan+ directive. Implemented analyses defined by \verb+ [ []]+ include\\ \\ \verb+distance+ to calculate the distance between the centers of geometry of the two specified groups of atoms, and\\ \verb+distances+ to calculate all atomic distances between atoms in the specified groups that lie between $value1$ and $value2$. Coordinate histograms are specified by \begin{verbatim} histogram [] zcoordinate \end{verbatim} where $idef$ is the atom group definition number, $length$ is the size of the histogram, \verb+zcoordinate+ is the currently only histogram option, and $filename$ is the filname to which the histogram is written. Order parameters are evalated using \begin{verbatim} order \end{verbatim} This is an experimental feature. To write the average coordinates of a trajectory \begin{verbatim} average [super] \end{verbatim} To perform the coordinate analysis: \begin{verbatim} scan [ super ] \end{verbatim} which will create, depending on the specified analysis options files filename.rms and filename.ana. After the scan directive previously defined coordinate analysis options are all reset. Optional keyword \verb+super+ specifies that frames read from the trajectory file(s) are superimposed to the reference structure before the analysis is performed. \section{Essential dynamics analysis} Essential dynamics analysis is performed by \begin{verbatim} essential \end{verbatim} This can be followed by one or more \begin{verbatim} project \end{verbatim} to project the trajectory onto the specified vector. This will create files filename with extensions frm or trj, val, vec, \_min.pdb and \_max.pdb, with the projected trajectory, the projection value, the eigenvector, and the minimum and maximum projection structure. For example, an essential dynamics analysis with projection onto the first vector generating files firstvec.\{trj, val, vec, \_min.pdb, \_max.pdb\} is generated by \begin{verbatim} essential project 1 firstvec \end{verbatim} \section{Trajectory format conversion} To write a single frame in PDB or XYZ format, use \begin{verbatim} write [] [super] [solute] \end{verbatim} To copy the selected frames from the specified trejctory file(s), onto a new file, use \begin{verbatim} copy [solute] [rotate ] \end{verbatim} To superimpose the selected atoms for each specified frame to the reference coordinates before copying onto a new file, use \begin{verbatim} super [solute] [rotate ] \end{verbatim} The \verb+rotate+ directive specifies that the structure will make a full ratation every tangle ps. This directive only has effect when writing povray files. The format of the new file is determined from the extension, which can be one of \begin{tabular}{rl} amb & \amber\ formatted trajectory file (obsolete)\\ arc & \discover\ archive file\\ bam & \amber\ unformatted trajectory file\\ crd & \amber\ formatted trajectory file\\ dcd & \charmm\ formatted trajectory file\\ esp & \gopenmol\ formatted electrostatic potential files\\ frm & \ecce\ frames file (obsolete)\\ pov & \povray\ input files\\ trj & \nwchem\ trajectory file\\ \end{tabular} If no extension is specified, a {\rm trj} formatted file will be written. A special tag can be added to {\rm frm} and {\rm pov} formatted files using \begin{verbatim} label [ ] \\ [ [ ] [ ] ] [ ] \end{verbatim} where tag number $itag$ is set to the string $tag$ for all atoms anam within a distance $rtag$ from segments $iatag$ through $jatag$. A question mark can be used in anam as a wild card character. \par Atom rendering is specified using \begin{verbatim} render ( cpk | stick ) [ ] \\ [ [ ] [ ] ] [ ] \end{verbatim} for all atoms anam within a distance $rtag$ from segments $iatag$ through $jatag$, and a scaling factor of $rval$. A question mark can be used in anam as a wild card character. \par Atom color is specified using \begin{verbatim} color ( | atom ) \\ [ [ ] [ ] ] [ ] \end{verbatim} for all atoms anam within a distance $rtag$ from segments $iatag$ through $jatag$. A question mark can be used in anam as a wild card character. \par For example, to display all carbon atoms in segments 34 through 45 in green and rendered cpk in povray files can be specified with \begin{verbatim} render cpk 34 45 _C?? color green 34 45 _C?? \end{verbatim} Coordinates written to a pov file can be scaled using \begin{verbatim} scale \end{verbatim} A zero or negative scaling factor will scale the coordinates to lie within [-1,1] in all dimensions. \par The cpk rendering in povray files can be scaled by \begin{verbatim} cpk \end{verbatim} \par The stick rendering in povray files can be scaled by \begin{verbatim} stick \end{verbatim} The initial sequence number of esp related files is defined by \begin{verbatim} index \end{verbatim} A sequence of trajectory files with unequal lengths can be converted to files with all $nclean$ frames using \begin{verbatim} clean \end{verbatim} \section{Electrostatic potentials} A file in plt format of the electrostatic potential resulting from partial charges generated by the ESP module is generated by the command \begin{verbatim} esp [ ] \ [ ] [periodic []] \ [ [ ] ] \end{verbatim} The input coordinates are taken from the {\rm xyzq} file that can be generated from a {\rm rst} by the prepare module. Parameter spacing specifies the number of gridpoints per nm, rcut specifies extent of the charge grid beyond the molecule. Periodic boundaries will be used if \verb+periodic+ is specified. If \verb+iper+ is set to 2, periodic boundary conditions are applied in x and y dimensions only. If \verb+periodic+ is specified, a negative value of \verb+rcut+ will extend the grid in the periodic dimensions by abs(\verb+rcut+), otherwise this value will be ignored in the periodic dimensions. The resulting {\rm plt} formatted file pltfile can be viewed with the gOpenMol program. The resulting electrostatic potential grid is in units of kJ\ mol$^{-1}$e$^{-1}$. If no files are specified, only the parameters are set. This analysis applies to solute(s) only. The electrostatic potential at specific point are evaluated using \begin{verbatim} esp_points [ [ [ []]]] \end{verbatim}
