GASBORMX online: where are the volume fractions?
I'm running GASBOR online in the 'Fit to oligomer-monomer mixture' mode. How do I find out what my oligomer-monomer ratio is?
Check the header of the pdb file
If you open the final model (.pdb) in a text editor you'll see something like
Code: Select all
Volume fraction,oligomer ............................... : 0.6285
Volume fraction, monomer ............................... : 0.3715
Re: GASBORMX online: where are the volume fractions?
In the current gasbormx version (atsas 3.2.1 r14885) in which output models are in .cif format, are the optimized volume fractions of monomer and oligomer still printed somewhere?
I was not able to find this information in any of the output files

Hi sasandra. Indeed, this information got lost in the transition to mmCif format. It will be added back in the next release. My apologies 
(if not too much trouble, you can install a 3.1.x version, there the information should still be provided. There should be no other significant differences in gasbormx besides the mmCif support in 3.2.1)

try OLIGOMER
I think you can fit your input data with OLIGOMER.
GASBORMX saves the scattering computed from the monomer and oligomer as 'xxx-monomer.dat' and 'xxx-oligomer.dat' (where xxx is the name of your "project").
Try:
ffmaker xxx-monomer.dat xxx-oligomer.dat --output=ff.dat
oligomer --ff ff.dat yourinputdata.dat --cst --un=2
(you need --un=2 only if your data are in nm-1).
Make sure that 'yourinputdata.fit' is as good as 'gasbor.fir'.
The volume fractions will be written in 'oligomer.log'.
