IMP.saxs examples

profile.py

In this example, we read a protein from a PDB file and experimental profile file. Next we compute the theoretical profile from the PDB file and fit it to the experimental one.

This application is available as a web servicer at salilab.org/foxs. It is also available as C++ code in IMP/applications.

The experimental data for lysozyme is taken from crysol program (www.embl-hamburg.de/ExternalInfo/Research/Sax/crysol.html)

#! calculate SAXS profile

#! calculate chi score (should be ~0.5 for this example)

chi = saxs_score.compute_chi_score(model_profile)
print 'Chi = ' + str(chi)
