Calculate the atomic contact energy. Calculates the atomic contact energy (ACE) after Zhang et al. (J. Mol. Biol., 267, 707-726 (1997)). The energy is returned in units of kJ/mol. Unparametrized Atoms are simply ignored, this may lead to unreasonable values. However, a warning is being printed in this case.
- Files:
- The two files given as default parameters contain the original parameters from the JMB publication (ACE_parameters.dat) as a 18x18 matrix. ACE_types.dat contains the mapping of residue/atom names to theses types for standard amino acid residues.
