SzmapReport

Overview

The szmap_report utility reads an OEBinary file (.oeb or .oeb.gz) generated by using the -at_coords flag with SZMAP and produces a .pdf file containing one or more 2-dimensional renderings of the results. The calculated values for a given property are shown as colored patches around each coordinate position. (You can also visualize these properties in 3D using Color By Atom Properties). Atoms at coordinates with no calculated property, because the probe clashed when placed there, are grayed out.

Note

Versions of SZMAP prior to 1.1.0 attach only a limited number of properties to atoms. To display vdw or order, for example, you may need to rerun calculations with the latest SZMAP version.

If a concatenated series of molecules are used as input to szmap -at_coords, szmap_report will produce a figure for each molecule. You can control the formatting to either place the output for each molecule on a separate page, or align the output for different molecules on the same page.

By default option -surface is true, meaning a 2D surface boundary for the molecule is shown with different line types depending on how loose or tight the binding site is around each atom. Boundary styles are: simple black lines for close contacts, lines with short radial lines indicate a small gap, and outward reaching fingers indicate a cavity, a place with enough space to place a water or other atoms. Thin gray lines indicate a solvent exposed region.

If hydrogens are in the output, they are usually suppressed from the display. If you want to display data calculated at hydrogen positions, use -keep_hydrogens, but because surfaces are rendered only for heavy atoms, -surface must also set to false.

The output is rendered by OpenEye’s OEDepict and Grapheme toolkits (additional licenses not required). See figure SZMAP report output.

SZMAP report output

Example Commands

prompt> szmap_report 4std_lig_coords.oeb.gz 4std_lig_coords.pdf

This executes SzmapReport with the default parameters. The file 4std_lig_coords.oeb.gz containing SZMAP -at_coords results is used as input, and the output is written to the file 4std_lig_coords.pdf,

Command Line Help

A description of the command line interface can be obtained by executing SzmapReport with the --help option.

> szmap_report --help

will generate the following output:

Help functions:
  szmap_report --help simple      : Get a list of simple parameters
  szmap_report --help all         : Get a complete list of parameters
  szmap_report --help defaults    : List the defaults for all parameters
  szmap_report --help <parameter> : Get detailed help on a parameter
  szmap_report --help html        : Create an html help file for this program

Required Parameters

-input <filename>
-i  <filename>

[keyless parameter 1]

OEBinary input file (.oeb or .oeb.gz), with results calculated at specified coordinates.

Optional Parameters

-output <filename>
-o   <filename>

[keyless parameter 2]

Output .pdf file containing one or more 2D renderings.

[default = szmap_report.pdf]

-tagname <prop>
-t <prop>

[keyless parameter 3]

Atom property used to generate color patches around each atom:

Prop must be one of the property names listed in Appendix 2: SZMAP Atom Properties. The list of tags for a given results file can be displayed by SzmapGrid.

The szmap_neut_diff_free_energy property is one of the most useful. It describes the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity at each coordinate.

If no tag is specified, an array of properties will be displayed for each input molecule.

Molecule Display Options

-aromstyle <style>
-astl <style>

Aromatic ring display style: Kekule, Circle, Dash.

[default = Kekule]

-atomcolor <color>
-acolor <color>

Atom coloring style: WhiteCPK, BlackCPK, WhiteMonochrome, BlackMonochrome, cow, cob, bow, wob.

Style

Meaning

cow

(color on white) same as WhiteCPK

cob

(color on black) same as BlackCPK

bow

(black on white) same as WhiteMonochrome

wob

(white on black) same as BlackMonochrome

[default = WhiteCPK]

-atomstereostyle <style>
-atomsstl <style>

Atom stereo display style: Hidden, AtomStereo, StandardStyle, FancyStyle. Combined expressions: Created by combining primitive tokens with “|”.

[default = AtomStereo|FancyStyle]

-bondcolor <color>
-bcolor <color>

Bond coloring style: ByElement, Monochrome.

[default = ByElement]

-bondstereostyle <style>
-bondsstl <style>

Bond stereo display style: Hidden, BondStereo, CIPBondStereo. Combined expressions: Created by combining primitive tokens with “|”.

[default = BondStereo]

General Options

-title <text>

Title for each page.

[default = “SZMAP Report”]

-pagesize <size>
-size <size>

Output file page size: US_Letter, A4.

[default = US_Letter]

-rows <number>

Number of rows on a page [1-10].

-cols <number>

Number of columns on a page [1-10].

-resolution <level>

Quality of color maps representing properties. The level will influence the size of the output—high produces output several times larger than medium produces.

Level

Meaning

low

chunky (grain size: 5 x 5)

medium

smooth (grain size: 2 x 2)

high

very smooth (grain size: 1 x 1)

[default = medium]

-separate

Output separate pages for each at_coords molecule. The default is to concatenate output. Use -rows and -cols to adjust the formatting.

-legend <bool>

Show property legend.

[default = true]

-surface <bool>

Show 2D molecular surface outline.

[default = true]

-keep_hydrogens

Show all the explicit hydrogens in depictions. Requires -surface to be set to false.

[default = false]

-tag_set <set>

Tag set used when no explicit tag is specified. The set ‘v1’ is provided for backwards compatibility with SZMAP version 1 results.

Set

Meaning

min

szmap_neut_diff_free_energy, szmap_vdw, szmap_order

max

szmap_neut_diff_free_energy, szmap_neut_diff_entropy,

szmap_interaction,

szmap_vdw, szmap_psolv, szmap_wsolv

v1

szmap_neut_diff_free_energy, szmap_probe_burial

[default = min]

Other Options

-verbose
-v
