saxs/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 service at salilab.org/foxs. It is also available as C++ code in IMP at modules/foxs/bin/foxs.cpp.

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