The SAXSPDBFast McXtrace Component

12.24  The SAXSPDBFast McXtrace Component

Release: McXtrace 1.0

A sample describing a thin solution of proteins using linear interpolation to increase computational speed. This components must be compiled with the -lgsl and -lgslcblas flags (and possibly linked to the appropriate libraries).

Identification

  • Author: Martin Cramer Pedersen (mcpe@nbi.dk) and Søren Kynde (kynde@nbi.dk)

  • Origin: KU-Science

  • Date: May 2, 2012

Description

This components expands the formfactor amplitude of the protein on spherical harmonics and computes the scattering profile using these. The expansion is done on amino-acid level and does not take hydration layer into account. The component must have a valid .pdb-file as an argument.

This is fast implementation of the SAXSPDB sample component.

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
