Inputsection-ssinfileinfile
This option specifies the name of the file of secondary structure (input).
-dcfinfileinfile
This option specifies the name of the DCF file (domain classification file) (input). A 'domain
classification file' contains classification and other data for domains from SCOP or CATH, in DCF
format (EMBL-like). The files are generated by using SCOPPARSE and CATHPARSE. Domain sequence
information can be added to the file by using DOMAINSEQS.
-datafilematrixf
This option specifies the secondary structure substitution matrix. Default value: SSSUB
Requiredsection-maxhitsinteger
This option specifies the number of top-scoring matches to report. Default value: 5
Additionalsection-rgapopenfloat
This options specifies the gap insertion penalty for reside-based alignment. The gap insertion
penalty is the score taken away when a gap is created. The best value depends on the choice of
comparison matrix. The default value assumes you are using the EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein
sequences, and the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide sequences. Default value: 10
-rgapextendfloat
This options specifies the gap extension penalty for residue-based alignment. The gap extension,
penalty is added to the standard gap penalty for each base or residue in the gap. This is how long
gaps are penalized. Usually you will expect a few long gaps rather than many short gaps, so the gap
extension penalty should be lower than the gap penalty. Default value: 0.5
-egapopenfloat
This options specifies the gap insertion penalty for element-based alignment. The gap insertion
penalty is the score taken away when a gap is created. The best value depends on the choice of
comparison matrix. The default value assumes you are using the EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein
sequences, and the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide sequences. Default value: 10
-egapextendfloat
This options specifies the gap extension penalty for secondary structure element-based alignment. The
gap extension, penalty is added to the standard gap penalty for each base or residue in the gap. This
is how long gaps are penalized. Usually you will expect a few long gaps rather than many short gaps,
so the gap extension penalty should be lower than the gap penalty. Default value: 0.5
Outputsection-outssfileoutfile
This option specifies the name of the file containing top-scoring domains for residue-based alignment
(output).A 'domain classification file' contains classification and other data for domains from SCOP
or CATH, in DCF format (EMBL-like).
-outsefileoutfile
This option specifies the name of the file containing top-scoring domains for secondary structure
element-based alignment (output). A 'domain classification file' contains classification and other
data for domains from SCOP or CATH, in DCF format (EMBL-like).
-logfileoutfile
This option specifies the name of the ssematch log file (output). Default value: ssematch.log
