ICM molecular objects

An ICM molecular object represents one or several molecules which can coexist in physical space, so that the energy of the molecular system can be calculated. For example, if you have two homologous molecules superimposed, multiple conformations of the same structure such as NMR structure determinations or alternative positions of a side chain, they must belong to different objects. The number of objects that may be loaded in ICM is limited only by the available computer memory. Objects may be of several types (see also: the Type ( os_ 2 ) function):

ICM-molecular objects are created from residues and molecules described in the ICM residue library. Its content (sequences and names of molecules) is specified in an ICM sequence file (see also IcmSequence function). An ICM-object can also be created from a non-ICM object (e.g. of X-Ray type) with the convert command.
