HBPLUS v 3.03
*************
Hydrogen Bond Calculation Program
=================================
Introduction
============
HBPLUS is a hydrogen bond calculation program that has been developed
in-house over the course of over four years and has been used in
countries as diverse as the USA, Taiwan and South Africa. It . .
o Calculates the Geometries of all Hydrogen Bonds
o Optionally Lists of Neighbour Interactions
o Calculates Hydrogen Positions
o Deals with Hydrogens that can Occupy More Than one Position
o Optionaly includes amino-aromatic H-bonds.
o Supports Full Customisation, eg of
o H-bond criteria
o Donor and Acceptor Atoms types
o Analyses H-bonding Near Asn, Gln and His Side-Chains and Suggests
Optimal Conformation
o Supports .hbplusrc Files
o Outputs PDB File Including Extrapolated Polar Hydrogen Positions
Technical Side
==============
It is written in ANSI C and has been checked on several UNIX systems
as well as VAX/VMS. It unfortunately requires too much memory to run
on an IBM PC or an Apple Macintosh.
If you would like a copy of HBPLUS, simply download the
confidentiality agreement, sign it, snailmail it to me and I'll email
you a password that you can use to un-crypt the ftp-able
hbplus.tar.Z.cr file, after loading it to disk as a binary file. The
agreement essentially promises not to give anyone outside your lab
copies of HBPLUS, and to reference us if you use HBPLUS results in a
paper - HBPLUS is free to academic users. HBPLUS compiles using a
makefile.
This release also includes ACCESS to determine accessible surface
areas, and CLEAN to tidy Brookhaven files. These programs are written
by other people and also covered by the confidentiality agreement.
