DMS documentation may be found at http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/dms1.html. The (brief) section on the file format says: The output consists of a series of atom and surface point records, with the same format for the first six fields. Each atom is followed by the surface points (if any) which belong to it. These first six fields are in the following format: residue name, sequence number, atom name, x coordinate, y coordinate, z coordinate. For an atom record, the seventh field is "A." For a surface point record, the seventh field begins with an "S," followed by a "C," "R," or "S" according to whether the point is part of contact, reentrant, or saddle surface (saddle is a type of reentrant surface where the probe is in contact with exactly two atoms). This is followed by a digit used for depicting different density levels. The eighth field is the molecular surface area associated with the point in square angstroms. If -n is specified, the next three fields are the unit normal vector pointing outward from the surface. Hope this helps. Conrad On Wed Jul 13 11:43:26 2011, Efrat Kligun wrote:

Hello,

I am a Phd student at the Technion, I use the program- DMS and I would like to know what is the numeration of the columns of the first six fields in the output format of the dms.

Thanks in advance, Efrat
