    Quaternion-based algorithm for calculating RMSD and its gradient

    The code is written in Fortran 90, and has been tested with NAGWare f95 and Portland group pgf90 on Linux systems only.

    _Biocomp04 presentation (ppt) which solves a polynomial equation to find loop closure solutions. An arbitrary molecular chain can be considered, that includes 6 rotatable bonds, arranged in three coterminal pairs. Any rigid structures can be treated between the pairs of coterminal torsion angles. The bond angle perturbation schemes described in the paper are not included in this distribution.

    This program can be used to find loop structures involving six backbone torsion angles given the position of the two atoms before the loop and two atoms after the loop. For example, in the case of protein, possible structures for a three residue gap can be found given the coordinates of the N and CA atoms of the first residue and the CA ans C atoms of the third residue. Multiple conformations are generated in general (up to 16 conformations are possible in principle).
