SURFNET Operating Manual
10. Extracting and comparing gap
regions
The following programs allow you to perform special functions on some of
the .srf files generated by SURFNET.
- MASK - Extracts only the required
contour regions from a given .srf file. (Useful for extracting,
say, just a protein's binding site from a map of all its clefts and
cavities).
- CUTSRF - Cuts a given .srf file
in the x-, y-, z-directions, as required, to reduce a
given map to the size required.
- MAPDIFF - Compares two given
.srf map files and either outputs a single map of their common
regions, or else two separate maps of their differences. (Useful
for, say, comparing the differences/similarities in the shapes of two
protein binding sites).
