Plotdope


Plotdope is a perl script to plot the energy values obtained as output of the model evaluation step of MODELLER.

Often, there are gaps in the alignment of the target and template. In the model evaluation step, the energy values at these positions are not computed. To compare the energy profiles of two structures, the positions of these residues should match. This script obtains the alignment and the energy profiles as input and then introduces gaps accordingly in the parsed profile files and then plots the resulting data using Gnuplot

⚠️ Please Note: This script is useful only for an alignment containing two sequences (target and a template.). Also complete error checks are not yet implemented.

Updated 11/7/07 by James Haven: add some error checking and extract correct energy values.
