*'''Ignore Waters'''
The '''computation method''' refers to the EEM implementation that will be used during the atomic charge calculation , along with related computation ''options'' specific to each method.  
''Description:'' do not include water molecules in the atomic charge calculation. Specifically, all atoms annotated with a residue name typically associated with water (HOH, WAT, H2O) are not included in the EEM matrix. Other residue names sometimes associated with water, such as SOL and TIP, are not considered here because the Protein Data Bank contains instances of such residues which are chemical components different from water. Thus, if you wish to ignore water which is annotated in your file as SOL or TIPx, you will need to remove these records before submitting to '''ACC'''.
 
''Possible values:'' False (default), True.
 
*'''Precision'''
''Description:'' Number of bits (64 or 32) used to represent charges.


''Possible values:'' Double (64-bit numbers, default), Single (32-bit numbers).

Setup keywords

[edit]

EEM parameter set

[edit]

A set of EEM parameters, or EEM parameter set, represents a collection of EEM parameters that has been developed for a certain group of target molecules, using a certain kind of reference data and a certain kind of fitting procedure.

Author, Publication, Journal, Year
Description: citation identification for that particular set of EEM parameters.
Target
Description: type of molecules that are likely to be well described using a specific set of EEM parameters
Possible values: organic molecules, drug-like molecules, proteins, etc.
Approach: QM Method, Basis Set, Population Analysis
Description: The nature of the reference data used during the development of the parameters. Reference data generally comes from high level Quantum Mechanical (QM) calculations. The applicability domain of an EEM parameter set is closely related to the applicability domain of the reference QM data used during the development.
Possible values:
  • QM Method - level of theory used to solve Schrödinger's equation - HF, B3LYP, etc.
  • Basis Set - set of basis functions used to solve Schrödinger's equation - 6-31G*, STO-3G, etc.
  • Population Analysis defines how the reference data (most commonly atomic charges) were obtained after solving Schrödinger's equation - MPA (Mulliken population analysis), NPA (Natural population analysis), MK (Merz-Kollman scheme for fitting to electrostatic potentials), etc.
Training Set Size, Data Source
Description: Number and type of molecules used to produce reference data during the development of the EEM parameters.
Id
Description: unique identifier of an EEM parameter set.
Priority
Description: Very basic grading system. Serves mainly to identify a suitable default setup. Currently curated manually.
Possible values: For EEM parameter sets focused on biomolecules, priorities are assigned based on their performance in the external validation stage of their development. For sets focused on organic molecules, priorities are assigned based on year of publication, level of theory of the QM reference data, and the results of a small in-house QM benchmark on paracetamol. Lower values are preferred.
Atoms
Description: List of atom types covered by the EEM parameter set. Depends on the type of molecules used to produce reference data during the development of the EEM parameters.
Possible values: H, C, N, O, Cl, etc.
Missing Atoms
Description: List of atom types present in the input file and not covered by the EEM parameter set. These atoms will not be included in the atomic charge calculation using this EEM parameter set. To include all atoms, use an EEM parameter set with no Missing Atoms. Alternatively, Add a new EEM parameter set where all necessary EEM parameters are provided.

Computation Method

[edit]

The computation method refers to the EEM implementation that will be used during the atomic charge calculation , along with related computation options specific to each method.

Ignore Waters
Description: do not include water molecules in the atomic charge calculation. Specifically, all atoms annotated with a residue name typically associated with water (HOH, WAT, H2O) are not included in the EEM matrix. Other residue names sometimes associated with water, such as SOL and TIP, are not considered here because the Protein Data Bank contains instances of such residues which are chemical components different from water. Thus, if you wish to ignore water which is annotated in your file as SOL or TIPx, you will need to remove these records before submitting to ACC.
Possible values: False (default), True.
Precision
Description: Number of bits (64 or 32) used to represent charges.
Possible values: Double (64-bit numbers, default), Single (32-bit numbers).
Cutoff Radius
Description: Parameter of the EEM Cutoff and EEM Cutoff Cover methods. Controls the number of atoms included in each reduced EEM matrix, based on their distance (in ångströms) from a pivot atom. Accuracy and computation time increase with Cutoff Radius.
Possible values: up to 17. Recommended 8-15.

Results keywords

[edit]

Raw Data tab

[edit]

The raw data is available in tabular form, and refers to the actual values of atomic charges resulted from the EEM calculation, or read in from the input file. Residue charges are also available if residue annotations are available in the input file. No additional statistics are included here.

Compare tab

[edit]

ACC allows to compare sets of charges at more levels of resolution, in graphical and tabular form. These sets of charges may have resulted from different jobs, or were read from the input file.

Description: Level of resolution at which the charges will be compared.
Possible values: Atoms, Residues.
X Axis, Y Axis
Description: Which two sets of charges will be compared.
Possible values: any sets of charges available for that molecule. X Axis must be different from Y Axis.
Raw Data

Possible values: The values of the following descriptors are displayed for each pairwise comparison:
  • R², Pearson - squared Pearson's correlation coefficient
  • ρ, Spearman - Spearman's rank correlation coefficient
  • δ², RMSD - root mean square deviation
  • Diff. - sum of absolute differences.

Additional display options for each Display Mode
Description: Certain Display Modes allow further tuning of what parts of the model are displayed, and how.
Possible values: Depend on Display Mode.

For Display Mode = Balls and sticks:

  • Charge Scaling - Scales the size of the balls (atoms or residue centroids) according to the absolute value of the corresponding (atomic or residue) charge. Possible values: Yes (default), No.

For Display Mode = Surface:

  • Probe Radius - determines the shape of the surface. Lower values lead to a more VDW-like surface.
