mksup: Generate pairwise superpositions for Midas

Usage:

mksup number_of_structures atoms_to_superimpose

Description:

mksup prints out the series of commands needed by Midas to do all of the superpositions needed to calculate the average pairwise superposition of a family of structures. The output from Midas is usually saved using mterm or midas.tty and the average pairwise superposition calculated using calcrms. See also the superposition how-to for step by step instructions on using these programs together.

Examples:

mksup 10 :1-15@n,c,ca > sup10.mac
Prints the commands to do all of the pairwise superpositions for ten structures using the backbone atoms residues 1-15, putting them in the file sup10.mac for later use in Midas with the command read sup10.mac.

mksup 10 :1-15@n=,c=,o=,s=,p= > sup10.mac
Works the same as above, but uses all heavy atoms for the superposition.
