Sails 0.3.1 Help

Find WURCS Codes

Sails provides a utility tool to find the WURCS code of a glycan in a macromolecule. A single WURCS code can be generated for a known glycosite or all can be generated. These codes can be used to search glycomics databases.

Command

Syntax:

sails-wurcs find [OPTIONS]

Example:

sails-wurcs find -modelin structure.cif -chain A -seqid 123
sails-wurcs find -modelin structure.cif -all -logout all_wurcs.json

Options

Describe what each option is used for:

-modelin

Path to a model.

Formats accepted: CIF or PDB

Required

-logout

Path to output JSON file

Default: wurcs.json

--all

Ignore chain and seqid, and generate WURCS codes for all glycans that can be found for the input model

-chain

Chain name containing the root protein residue

Example: A

-seqid

Sequence Id of the root protein residue of a glycan (e.g. asparagine for an N-glycan)

Example: 123

-h, --help

Displays help.
