align_hypoPair Command Help

Command: $SCHRODINGER/utilities/align_hypoPair

align_hypoPair - Aligns one hypothesis onto another based on least-squares
superposition of matching site points, considering all possible mappings.
Alignments are summarized to standard output in order of increasing RMSD, with
the lowest RMSD alignment being saved as a new hypothesis.

Usage: align_hypoPair -fixed <fixedHypoID>
                      -free <freeHypoID>
                      -new <newHypoID>
                      [-dtol <deltaDist>]
                      [-match <minSites>]
                      [-mix]
                      [-equiv <equivFile>]
                      [-merge <method>]
                      [-keep <maxAlign>]
                      [-rmsd <rmsdFile>]
                      [-sim <simFile> [-rmsdMax <rmsdMax>]]
                      [-fmt single|multi]

-fixed <fixedHypoID> - Hypothesis that will remain fixed when the alignment is
                       performed. If single-file format is used, <fixedHypoID>
                       should be the actual name of the hypothesis file, e.g.,
                       ADHHR.phypo. If multi-file format is used, <fixedHypoID>
                       should be the prefix of all hypothesis files (e.g., use
                       ADHHR if the files are ADHHR.def, ADHHR.mae, etc.).
                       Positional tolerances and site mask will be applied if
                       they are present in the hypothesis.
-free <freeHypoID>   - Hypothesis that will be aligned to the fixed hypothesis.
                       The feature definitions in <freeHypoID> must be identical
                       to those in <fixedHypoID>.
-new <newHypoID>     - Output hypothesis containing the aligned version of the
                       free hypothesis.
-dtol <deltaDist>    - Intersite distance matching tolerance. The default is
                       2.0 angstroms.
-match <minSites>    - The minimum number of sites that must match. The default
                       is 3.
-mix                 - Consider alignments involving different numbers of
                       matching sites. By default, only n-point matches are
                       retained and ranked by RMSD, where n is the greatest
                       number of sites that could be matched. But if -mix is
                       specified, matches involving fewer sites will be mixed
                       with the n-point matches. Beware that RMSD values are
                       generally smaller for matches with fewer sites, so using
                       -mix will tend to favor those alignments.
-equiv <equivFile>   - A file that defines the allowed mappings between the
                       sites in the fixed and free hypotheses. This file
                       consists of two lines, each of which contains a string of
                       non-blank characters, with one character for each site in
                       the fixed and free hypotheses. For example, if the fixed
                       and free hypotheses contain 4 and 5 sites, respectively,
                       the following strings could be used to define the
                       allowed mappings:

                       abbc
                       ababc

                       This implies:

                       (1) The 1st site in the fixed hypothesis (denoted as "a")
                           can be matched to either the 1st or 3rd site of the
                           free hypothesis (because these are also denoted as
                           "a").
                       (2) The 2nd and 3rd sites of the fixed hypothesis
                           (denoted as "b") can be matched to the 2nd or 4th
                           sites of the free hypothesis.
                       (3) The 4th site of the fixed hypothesis (denoted as "c")
                           can be matched to only the 5th site of the free
                           hypothesis.

                       If this option is omitted, the feature types define the
                       allowed mappings, hence an acceptor can be mapped only to
                       another acceptor, a donor can be mapped only to another
                       donor, etc.
-merge <method>      - The merging method. Allowed values are 1, 2, 3, 4. If
                       this option is used, the new hypothesis will be a union
                       of the sites in the fixed and aligned free hypotheses,
                       with matching sites merged/replaced as follows:

                       <method>   Merged Site
                       --------   -----------
                          1       Fixed site type; fixed coordinates
                          2       Free site type; free coordinates
                          3       Fixed site type; average coordinates
                          4       Free site type; average coordinates

                       Note that when merging is done, the new hypothesis has no
                       reference ligand. Note also that the RMSD value is still
                       computed from the positions of the aligned free sites,
                       not from the positions of the merged sites.
-keep <maxAlign>     - The maximum number of aligned hypotheses to keep. By
                       default, only a single hypothesis corresponding to the
                       smallest RMSD is created. However, if <maxAlign> is
                       greater than 1 and multiple alignments are possible, a
                       series of hypotheses <newHypoID>_1, <newHypoID>_2, etc.
                       will be created, with progressively larger RMSD values.
-rmsd <rmsdFile>     - A file to which RMSD values should be written, one per
                       per line. The file will contain one value for each
                       hypothesis created (up to <maxAlign>).
-sim <simFile>       - Use RMSD values to compute a similarity for each
                       alignment, according to the following formula:

                               Sim = max(0, (m/n)*(1 - RMSD/<rmsdMax>))
                       where
                               n = (1/2)*(#sites fixed + #sites free)
                               m = #sites matched
                       <rmsdMax> = User-defined parameter (default = 1.2)

                       Similarities will be written to <simFile>, one per line,
                       for each hypothesis created (up to <maxAlign>). Note that
                       RMSD is still used to rank the alignments.
-rmsdMax <rmsdMax>   - Similarity parameter. The default is 1.2. Valid only in
                       combination with -sim <simFile>.
-trans <transFile>   - Write least-squares transformation to a CSV file. The
                       file will contain a 3x4 matrix, where the first 3 columns
                       hold the rotation matrix R, and the last column holds the
                       translation vector T. The following operation should be
                       applied to transform a set of coordinates (x, y z):

                               x'     r11 r12 r13   x     t1
                               y'  =  r21 r22 r23 * y  +  t2
                               z'     r31 r32 r33   z     t3

                       If multiple hypotheses are created, <transFile> will
                       contain only the transformation for the first one (i.e.,
                       the hypothesis with the lowest RMSD).
-fmt single|multi    - Specifies hypothesis format to read/write. The default is
                       "single".
