Hi, All, I am trying to analyze DNA from a recent structure with the program Curves+ (R. Lavery et al, Nuc. Acids. Res (2009) 37:17 5917; http://gbio-pbil.ibcp.fr/Curves_plus/Curves+.html). I have downloaded the files, and untarred them to a directory "curves" on my machine. Running the Make command on these files yielded no errors, and I have the executable file Cur+ in this directory. I am trying to run this program, first using the example data that is provided (the Drew-Dickerson Dodecamer), but am having some difficulties. The resource for Curves gives the following command to run the program:
/Users/RL/Code/Cur+ <<! &inp file=str/1bna, lis=r+bdna, lib=/Users/RL/Code/standard, &end 2 1 -1 0 0 1: 12 24:13 ! On my machine, the directory structure is slightly different: - the executable Cur+ is in a folder named "curves" - the files standard_b.lib and standard_s.lib are also in this folder - the pdb file 1bna.pdb is in the subfolder "data" I have tried to run the program by doing the following: [xxxxx@zeus ~/curves]$ Cur+ <<! ? &inp file=data/1bna, lis=r+bdna, ? lib=standard, &end ? 2 1 -1 0 0 ? 1:12 ? 24:13 ? ! The question mark prompts appear upon hitting enter after each line. The only error message I get when I try to run this is: ---- Error in namelist input for ---- I have even tried the following (entering all if the input files on the same line): [xxxxx@zeus ~/curves]$ Cur+ <<! &inp file=data/1bna, lis=r+bdna, lib=standard, &end ? 2 1 -1 0 0 ? 1:12 ? 24:13 ? ! Which gives the following errors: inp: Command not found end: Not in while/foreach At line 28 of file nml.f Fortran runtime error: End of file I am hoping that some of you have had success with running this program and can offer any advice. I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Edward Pryor Ph.D. Candidate Tom Hollis Lab Department of Biochemistry Center for Structural Biology Wake Forest University School of Medicine
