Macros

Macros are written using the Yanaconda language. If you already know a programming language, you can learn Yanaconda in 15 minutes, otherwise it may take 30.

To install, just save the macro in the directory yasara/mcr or wherever you want it. The syntax of Yanaconda is described in the YASARA documentation.

Analyzing a molecular dynamics trajectory

This macro analyzes a simulation and creates a table with energies and RMSDs from the starting structure, as well as the minimum energy structure and the time average structure with B-factors calculated from the root mean square fluctuations. If you want to do your own analysis, search for 'examples'.

Running a steered molecular dynamics simulation in water

This macro sets up and runs a steered simulation to pull a ligand from its binding site. As soon as they have been pulled apart completely and atoms start crossing periodic boundaries, the macro works no longer correctly

Running a molecular dynamics simulation of a membrane protein

This macro sets up and runs a membrane simulation. It scans the protein for secondary structure elements with hydrophobic surface residues, orients it accordingly and embeds it in a membrane of adjustable lipid composition. Finally a 250 ps restrained equilibration simulation is run, which ensures that the membrane can adapt to the newly embedded protein. Then the real simulation starts.

Convert between SIM and XTC simulation trajectories

This macro converts an existing MD trajectory between various formats. Supported are SIM->XTC, SIM->PDB, SIM->SIM, XTC->SIM and XTC->PDB.

Refining a homology model by molecular dynamics simulation in water

This macro runs a 500 ps simulation of a homology model using the protocol described in Proteins 57,678-683. It saves one PDB file every 25 picoseconds, including a table with force field energies to identify the best snapshot. In YASARA Structure, this table additionally contains Dihedrals, Packing1D and Packing3D checks (see the Check command). And in the Twinset, three more checks are included: PhiPsi, Backbone and Packing3.

Running an energy minimization

This macro runs an energy minimization of the soup. Compared to the normal minimization experiment, it temporarily adds a water shell so that all force fields can be used directly, also those optimized for use with explicit solvent

Structure determination

Solve an NMR structure with fixed quality

This macro solves an NMR structure based on a protein sequence and a restraint file in XPLOR format. Contrary to the normal nmr_solve macro, it refines only those structures in water, that match a quality criterion, and performs an unlimited number of folding runs until the ensemble has the requested size
