- toxin model
-
- Date Files:
-
- The small protein scorpion neurotoxin (variant-3) solved in this
- laboratory was taken from the Protein Data Bank (code is "1SN3").
- The file was edited to remove all but the main reference and protein
- atoms and named "toxin.pdb".
-
- A secondary structure assignment was made based on H-bonding:
- pdb-pro-pdb toxin.pdb toxin.ss
-
- The *.ribbons file consists of only one filename:
- ls toxin.ss > toxin.ribbons
-
- This file was then edited to add a special color file, "protein.color".
-
- The *.coords file consists of only one filename:
- ls toxin.pdb > toxin.coords
-
- The *.model file was generated:
- pdb-model toxin.pdb toxin.model
- ( edited the *.model file to change the menu name )
-
- The *.atoms file will consist of two parts.
- These are all created from a temporary file "tox.sph",
- colored by residue with backbone atoms excluded:
- pdb-res-sph -b 0 toxin.pdb tox.sph
-
- 1) create a file of SG atomic spheres:
- grep sg tox.sph > toxin_sg.sph
-
- 2) create a file with only aromatic spheres:
- touch toxin-arom.sph
- foreach i ( F Y H W )
- grep $i tox.sph >> toxin-arom.sph
- end
-
- Group atoms together:
- ls toxin-arom.sph > toxin.atoms
- ls toxin_sg.sph >> toxin.atoms
-
- The model was displayed at this stage to color and
- select the special "ribbon-bonds":
- ribbons
- ( display the ribbon, open Ribbon Panel.
- set Sequence Color = "seq",
- set Print Select = "CB-bond", Print File => toxin_cb0.rcyl
- set Print Select = "SG-bond", Print File => toxin_sg0.rcyl
- Exit ribbons )
-
- The *.bonds file will consist of three parts.
- 1) The disulphide bonds are set (all CYS form bridges in the toxin):
- mv toxin_sg0.rcyl toxin_sg.rcyl
-
- 2) The ribbon-bonds to the aromatic residues are selected:
- touch toxin_cb.sph
- foreach i ( F Y H W )
- grep $i toxin_cb0.rcyl >> toxin_cb.rcyl
- end
-
- 3) The bonds in the aromatic side chains are calculated:
- sph-bond toxin-arom.sph toxin-arom.cyl
-
- Group bonds together:
- ls toxin-arom.bond > toxin.bonds
- ls toxin_sg.rcyl >> toxin.bonds
- ls toxin_cb.rcyl >> toxin.bonds
-
- Create the solid aromatic ring polygons:
- pdb-pro-ring toxin.pdb toxin-ring.tri
-
- Create the *.polys file from this single set:
- ls toxin-ring.tri > toxin.polys
-
-

- Image File: toxin.rgb
-
- The model was displayed with default settings on the Ribbon Panel
- for everything except:
- Sequence Color = "ss"
- Ribbon Style = "Circle"
- Sheet Width = "2.5"
- Helix Width = "2.2"
- The Geom Panel had the default settings except:
- Sphere Radii = "0.30" ( for toxin_sg.sph )
- Sphere Radii = "0.45" ( for toxin-arom.sph )
- The image was saved from the Geom Panel.
