HOLE

HOLE is a molecular graphics program for visualization and analysis of the holes through atomic models of ion channels. It was written by Oliver Smart.

The User Manual is available locally on-line.

The HOLE progam was bequeathed to the Sansom group at the University of Oxford, which apparently no longer officially supports it.

Other, more up-to-date programs for channel analysis include Caver and Mole.


To get started, type:

setup hole (or source /srv/local/setup/hole.set)

You will then have the following executables in your path:

HOLE requires a command file as input. A typical first command would be:

hole < hole.inp > hole.out

See the manual for syntax to run other programs.
