Mutate model

The script below takes a given PDB file, and mutates a single residue. The residue's position is then optimized, and the unoptimized and optimized energies are reported.

#  mutate_model.py
#    
#     Usage:   mod8v2 - < mutate_model.py modelname respos resname chain > logfile

#     Example: mod8v2 - < mutate_model.py 1t29 1699 LEU A > 1t29.log

#
#  Creates a single in silico point mutation to sidechain type and at residue position
#  input by the user, in the structure whose file is modelname.pdb
#  The conformation of the mutant sidechain is optimized by conjugate gradient and
#  refined using some MD.
