-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This folder contains programs for checking format of CASP submissions 
and generating RNA and DNA structural templates from FASTA files. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Format verificators:

All programs take as an input a model file in the corresponding CASP format.

All programs require target sequence and pdb templates in ./TARGETS directory, 
eg., R2301.seq.txt and R2301.pdb.txt for target R2301. 

Templates for each target can be downloaded from target-specific pages, e.g. 
https://predictioncenter.org/casp17/target.cgi?id=13&view=all

Linux binaries: 
	ts_ver - checking format of tertiary structure models 
	qs_ver - checking format of quaternary structure models
	ts_ver_lig - checking format of the receptor structure in ligand submissions (LG format)

Python3 scripts:
	./rna-dna/rna_ver.py MODEL - checking format of RNA models
	./rna-dna/dna_ver.py MODEL - checking format of DNA models
	LG_validation.py - checking format of MDL sections of ligand submissions (LG format), 
			     requires RDKit python package

Perl script:
	qa_ver.pl - checking format of QA models in CASP17
