Sails 0.3.1 Help

Model Glycan from WURCS Code

Sails provides a utility tool to model a glycan into a structure from a known WURCS code and a root residue. This may be useful to glycosylate predicted models or as a simple starting point for manual model building. The glycan is placed with the mean torsion angles for a given linkage.

Command

Syntax:

sails-wurcs model [OPTIONS]

Example:

sails-wurcs model -modelin structure.cif -wurcs "WURCS=2.0/..." -chain A -seqid 123

Options

Describe what each option is used for:

-modelin

Path to a model.

Formats accepted: CIF or PDB

Required

-modelout

Path to the glycosylated output model.

Formats accepted: CIF or PDB

Default: sails-model-out.cif

-wurcs

WURCS code of glycan to model.

Must be in standard form without open chains and without circular glycans.

-chain

Chain name containing desired root residue

Example: A

-seqid

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

Example: 123
