IMP.foxs

FoXS is a simple command line tool for determining small angle X-ray (SAXS) profiles.

The IMP.saxs module contains functions that, given an atomic protein structure, can calculate its SAXS profile using the Debye formula, and then fit this profile against the experimentally determined one. FoXS is a simple command line interface to this functionality which takes as input a number of PDB files and/or SAXS profiles. There is also a web server available.

Examples:

• Determination of a Nup133 structure
