Chapter 7: <strong>Prime</strong>–Refinement<br />

<strong>Prime</strong> 2.1 <strong>User</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />

Figure 7.2. The Energy Analysis task in the Refinement panel.<br />

7.4 <strong>Prime</strong> Energy Analysis<br />

To perform a single-point molecular mechanics energy calculation, choose Energy Analysis<br />

from the Task option menu. The calculation uses the OPLS_2005 all-atom force field for<br />

protein residues as well as for ligands and cofactors. If desired, set up an implicit membrane<br />

model. Click Start, make job settings in the Start dialog box, then click Start to run the job.<br />

The output includes a breakdown of the energy into covalent, Coulombic, van der Waals and<br />

solvation energy contributions. Each of these is added as a Maestro property to the output<br />

structure file, named <strong>Prime</strong> Covalent, <strong>Prime</strong> Coulomb, <strong>Prime</strong> vdW, and <strong>Prime</strong> Solvation. The<br />

output also includes a breakdown of the energy on a per-residue basis.<br />

7.5 Refining Loops<br />

<strong>Prime</strong>–Refinement is capable of refining loop structures of various lengths, and provides algorithms<br />

for different loop lengths. In addition, loops whose structure affects other loops can be<br />

cooperatively refined in pairs.<br />

To refine one or more loops serially:<br />

1. Choose Refine Loops from the Task menu.
