Overview

The following data are required: (A) structures of individual molecules (sub-units); (B) labeling position data, (C) distance restraints.

Structures

A: Structures in pdb format are accepted. Multi-frame pdbs are not accepted. For screening, all structures must have the same atom numbering.

Labeling positions

Overview

FPS reads the positions of the labels from TABS separated tables saved in text files. The columns refer to the LP name, the molecule name, a descriptor for the labeling position (donor, D; acceptor, A; undefined, U), a specifier for the type of the labeling position (XYZ or ATOM).

Type of attachment Molecule name Label type Record type Label position
Labeling position name rna4wj_armA-H5 D XYZ -8.265 -5.266 3.39
Molecule name rna4wj_armA-H5 U XYZ -0.067 9.54 47.4

An example for a labeling position file is shown below

Example

d7DA	rna4wj_armA-H5	D	AV3	20	4.5	5	4.5	1.5	205
c29DA	rna4wj_armA-H5	D	XYZ	-8.265	-5.266	3.39			
c8AB	rna4wj_armB-H5	A	AV1	22	3.5	236
b33AB	rna4wj_armB-H5	A	XYZ	-3.568	-8.371	6.4			
b5DC	rna4wj_armC-H5	D	AV3	20	4.5	5	4.5	1.5	144

An XYZ record can be followed by any number of lines with ATOM data from a pdb file. In this case these atoms will be aligned with corresponding atoms of structures to be filtered.

Record types

AV1 data type (Accessible volume simulation with a single dye radius)

LP NAME [tab] Molecule name [tab] D/A/U [tab] AV1 [tab] Linker length [tab] width [tab] Dye radius [tab] Attachment point (atom ID)

Example

d7DA	rna4wj_armA-H5	D	AV1	20	4.5	3.5	205

AV3 data type (Accessible volume simulation with three dye radii)

LP NAME [tab] Molecule name [tab] D/A/U [tab] AV3 [tab] Linker length [tab] width [tab] Dye radius 1 [tab] Dye radius 2 [tab] Dye radius 3 [tab] Attachment point (atom ID)

Example

c8DB	rna4wj_armB-H5	D	AV3	20	4.5	5	4.5	1.5	236
c8AB	rna4wj_armB-H5	A	AV3	22	4.5	11	3	1.5	236

ATOM type (typically used for introducing chemical bonds, etc)

LP NAME [tab] Molecule name [tab] U [tab] ATOM [tab] Atom number

Example

BO5	rna4wj_armB-H5	U	ATOM	451

Distance data format

Distance data files are [tab] separated text files. The first line specifies the type of the following entries. Valid values are: Rmp (mean position distances, default); RDAMean (simple average of RDA) and RDAMeanE (FRET-averaged RDA)

Example

RDAMeanE

The following lines are distance data records of the format: Labeling position 1 [tab] Labeling position 2 [tab] Distance (Angstrom) [tab] Error(+) [tab] Error(-)

Example

b5DC	a12AD	53	2.7	2.7
b8DC	c8AB	59.5	3.0	3.0
AO3	DO5	2.5	0.5	20.0
