29.1 CONGEN Support Programs

A number of utilities exist to support the use of CONGEN as well as to create data files used by the program. There are also several programs for the display of space filling pictures of molecules. The interactive display program, peer, is described below, and the static display programs are described in Displaying Sphere Drawings.

• Cmploop: Compare conformations against a reference structure
• Comparecg: Compare two conformation files against one another while ignoring order.
• Comparecmp: Compare two files produced by cmploop while ignoring order
• Brkchm: Convert Brookhaven Protein Data Bank files to CONGEN format
• Homology: Simple homology finding program.
• Peer: Interactive display of molecules (Iris only)
• Peercg: Convert peer files to CONGEN format.
• Emap: Build the backbone energy maps and the proline constructor file.
• PDM88: Program to calculate electrostatic charges given electrostatic potential values on a grid.
• PDGRID: Program to layout a grid for PDM88.
