3. How to run NUCPLOT

a) Running NUCPLOT

We recommend running NUCPLOT outside the nucplot/ and hbplus/ directories.

To run NUCPLOT on a structure for the first time, simply type:

This runs a script which automatically executes the HBADD, HBPLUS and NUCPLOT programs in turn to produce the plot.


b) Running NUCONLY

For subsequent runs of NUCPLOT on the same structure (eg. after changing the parameters to alter the appearance of the plot - see below), simply type:

This runs the NUCPLOT program only and cuts down on the processing time taken for running HBADD and HBPLUS. The *.hb2 and *.nb2 files for the structure must be placed in the same directory as the one in which you are running NUCPLOT

This script may also be used if you wish to supply your own list of hydrogen bonds and non bonded contacts.
