efn2 (Energy Function 2) is used to calculate the folding free
energy change of a structure or structures in a CT file. The
output from efn2 can be either a simple list of energies or a
detailed breakdown of the calculation. efn2 does not support structures that contain pseudoknots.
USAGE: efn2 <ct file> <energy file> [options]
<ct file> |
The name of a file containing the input structure in CT format.
|
<energy file> |
The energy file to which output is written.
The energy file can be written in one of two forms:
-
Simple List
Lists free energy for each structure, lowest first.
-
Thermodynamic details
(if -w, -W, --writedetails is specified as described below)
Writes the details of every substructure in each structure,
and corresponding free energy of each.
|
-d, -D, --DNA |
Specify that the sequence is DNA, and DNA parameters are to
be used.
Default is to use RNA parameters.
|
-h, -H, --help |
Display the usage details message. |
-p, -P, --print |
Print the output file to standard output.
This won't override default behavior of writing to a file.
Thermodynamic files (if written) are not printed, even if
this option is specified, because they can be very large.
|
-w, -W, --writedetails |
Write a thermodynamic details file.
The thermodynamic details file replaces a standard output
(list) file.
|
-t, -T, --temperature |
Specify the temperature at which the free energy free should be calculated in
Kelvin.
Default is 310.15 K, which is 37 degrees C.
