OBPROBE(1) User's Reference Manual OBPROBE(1) NAME obprobe -- create electrostatic probe grid SYNOPSIS obprobe [OPTIONS] type pchg filename DESCRIPTION The obprobe tool creates a grid around a molecule, placing a probe atom with a specified atom type and partial charge at each point to calculate the MMFF94 energy. This can be used for docking experiments to test hydro- gen-bond affinity, electrostatic potential, etc. Output is sent to stan- dard output using the Gaussian Cube format. OPTIONS If no filename is given, obprobe will give all options including the exam- ple probes. -s stepsize Set the resolution of the grid (stepsize) -p padding Set the padding -- extra distance on each side of the box formed by the molecule. type MMFF94 atom type pchg MMFF94 partial charge EXAMPLES Probe the file pyridines.sdf using a carbonyl oxygen -- a hydrogen bond ac- ceptor with partial charge -0.57: obprobe 7 -0.57 pyridines.sdf Probe the file pyridines.sdf using a phenyl carbon atom -- a hydrophobic atom with no partial charge: obprobe 37 0.0 pyridines.sdf SEE ALSO obabel(1).
