X-PLOR in the CSB Core Laboratory

Where to find information about X-PLOR

Information on the X-PLOR program is available at the X-PLOR home page, A complete X-PLOR Online Manual is available at the Core. Hardcopies of the X-PLOR manual should be available in the Core facility.

A primer on X-PLOR written by Michael Nilges is available.

Scripts for solvent models and structure refinement written by Ethan Merritt (merritt@u.washington.edu)

Running X-PLOR in the CSB Core

X-PLOR should be run from the DQS batch system in the CAB core. The first command in your script should be, setup xplor. The program is then invoked by, xplor < command_file > log_file.

Xplor-NIH

The modified version xplor-nih is available. Currently, (8/2004) we have Version 2.9.6 available. It runs on linux computers, and Compaq/DEC Alphas running OSF 5.1 (e.g., janus). It will also run on 64-bit SGIs, but even the fastest that we have will be much slower than the other platforms.

You can access it with setup xplor-nih, or, in a batch file,
alias xplor-nih /srv/local/xplor-nih/xplor-nih-2.9.6/bin/xplor.
Then invoke the program with xplor-nih < command_file > log_file.

There is a tutorial in /srv/local/xplor-nih/xplor-nih-2.9.6/tutorial/, and there is a manual/ sub-directory in the tutorial directory.
