💖 NAME 💖

okay so TMSCORE(1) lives in the General Commands Manual 🌸 and it's all about TM-score, an algorithm that figures out how similar the topologies of two protein structures are 🧚

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This documentation is for the TM-score version released on 2011/01/30 📅 so keep that date in mind, bestie ⏰

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Three ways to slay this program 💅

  1. Compare model and native:
TMscore model native
  1. Set your own d0, like 5 Angstroms:
TMscore model native -d 5
  1. Write a superposition file called TM.sup and check it out in Rasmol 🦋:
TMscore model native -o TM.sup
rasmol -script TM.sup

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So this program compares two protein structures and hunts down the best superposition, the one with the highest TM-score 👑. Your input structures have to be in the PDB format 📄, no exceptions. By default, the TM-score gets normalized by the second protein 💜. If you're lost, just run the program with no arguments and it'll give you a quick brief 🙈.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -o filename.sup — spits the superposition out into the file you name, and it's ready to go in rasmol 🌸
  • -d value — sets d0 to the number of angstroms you give it ✨
