LSim is a software that calculates the structural similarity score by overlapping the electron densities of macromolecules.
LSim is a software that is concerned with superposing macromolecular electron densities and calculating a structural similarity score. With the LSim computations, users can scale them depending on the size of the molecules that are being compared with linear accuracy. The alignments produced by LSim are unbiased and conceptually different from biochemical structural elements; this makes the software appropriate for structure-only protein similarity studies.
The installation process for LSim is straightforward. Users can download the distribution file and unpack it using the "tar -xzvf lsim-linux.tar.gz" command. After this step, users should move to the file directory using the "cd lsim.1.0.0" command. Next, users can copy, move or link the executable file lsim to an appropriate location of their choice. They need to ensure that LSim is accessible through the PATH environment variable. For example, they can use the command "cp lsim /usr/local/bin" to accomplish this step.
The final step involves setting the LSIMDIR variable to point to the location where LSim is installed. Users can enter the command "setenv LSIMDIR /home/olaguer/progs/lsim.1.0.0" to complete this step. Once the installation process is complete, users can take advantage of LSim's features to compare and superimpose the macromolecular electron densities of different molecules and obtain structural similarity scores with ease.
