Moloc Update History

Moloc carries a date, shown in the window title and as header of the main menu. Changes mentioned here are effective if they are older than your Moloc.

DateMenu-OptionDescription of Change
090724Msmab A new option, -w, allows to control the output of data fields for energy and atomic charges to .sd files.
090724Mol3d A new option, -E, causes the program to write a data field 'MAB_ENERGIES', giving the values of MAB's various energy terms.
090707opt/e/h By choosing this option with the SHIFT key pressed one can now examine repulsive energy contributions of the MAB force-field between pairs of exclusive H-bond donors or pairs of exclusive H-bond acceptors.
090703pca/m A new utility has been implemented which allows for mutation of residues in proteins or at protein interfaces. Tools allow to browse through amino acids and rotamers and to evaluate and minimize energies. Surfaces can be displayed for interactive visual examination.
090604MCA In the C-alpha force field, MCA, the 'valence angle' restoring force has been increased. This avoids instabilities which occurred in certain situations.
090517.../+/f This new option allows to split up an entry into separate entries, one for each disconnected fragment.
090514Mcnf lib/t/m Specification of conformation constraints has been changed: yes-no options '-t' and '-c' have been lumped together in a numerical parameter '-c'. A value c=4 causes the program Mcnf to apply the constraints given the input file.
090513Msmab A new option '-c' has been added. It causes the program to also list conformational constraints in the output file.
090426expert corner The html page on Calf building has been augmented by a section dealing with the particulars of handling non-natural amino-acid residues.
090426pca/h This new menu allows to read in non-natural amino acids. They are used when building up peptides containing such residues. A host of utilities (mostly in 'pca' and Calf-building) have been generalized to also handle these residues.
090326Msmab Enforcement of stereo specifications from SMILES was based on an early, incomplete Daylight manual and could give false results in structures with cycles. This has been corrected. BUG
090325Mol3d Enforcement of stereo specifications did not work properly. This has been mended. BUG
081207lib/b/l This new switch allows to display label 'L', or data 'D' (if available) of the current entry.
081004lib/e/y/l A leave-one-out test has been implemented in the regression analysis utility.
081003lib/e/y For libraries, the entries of which have data associated with them, regression analyses on these data can be performed. Examination can be made by a graph or by browsing (see lib/b/a). This new module is mainly used for method development within Moloc, but it may be of general interest.
081003lib/b/a This new option allows to select entries of a library to be browsed, by picking agons of a positions entry (see lib/e/v).
081003lib/e/v For libraries, the entries of which have data associated with them, a positions entry can be generated, the agons of which are associated with the entries of the library. The coordinates of these entries are associated with the values of specified data fields. Such data entries are also automatically produced in certain places in Moloc. In the browse utility (lib/b) entries can be selected by picking an agon of such a positions entry.
080929.../g/o A new input parameter 'name-tag' can be defined. I causes the program to take molecule-names from the corresponding tags in a .sd file.
080914lib/f The element count option of the filter utility did not work for some time now. This has been mended. BUG
080822MAB The table for bond radii has been updated. This affects mainly some of the less common element.
