Solvator(1)

Synopsis

Solvator [-hrVx] [--abc=a,b,c] [-b=2.5] [--iFi=ions] [-p=9.0] [--pH=7.4] [-s=auto] [--sFi=water] file

Description

Creates a box of solvent around a solute.

Options

--abc, --boxLengths=a,b,c
Specify a comma-separated set of unit cell box lengths, instead of calculating them (a,b,c)
-b, --boundary=2.5
Delete solvent molecules that infringe closer than this to the solute.
-h, --help
Print command help and exit.
--iFi, --ionFile=ions
Name of the file containing ions. Must also have a .ions file (e.g. nacl.pdb must also have nacl.ions). Default: no ions.
-p, --padding=9.0
Sets the minimum amount of solvent padding around the solute.
--pH, --constantPH=7.4
pH value for the system. If set, titration states will be initialized based on this pH.
-r, --rectangular
Use a rectangular prism rather than a cube for solvation.
-s, --randomSeed=auto
Specify a random seed for ion placement.
--sFi, --solventFile=water
A file containing the solvent box to be used. There is currently no default.
-V, --version
Print the Force Field X version and exit.
-x, --translate
Move solute molecules to center of box. Turning off should only considered when specifying the unit cell box dimensions

Arguments

file
The atomic coordinate file in PDB or XYZ format.
