LSim is a software that calculates the structural similarity score by overlapping the electron densities of macromolecules.
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.
