king-probe - Evaluate and visualize protein interatomic packing

self intersection: src -> src (default)
intersect both ways: src <=> targ
single intersection: src -> targ
external van der Waals surface of src (solvent contact surface)
read and process an autobondrot file
shortcuts:
<<NO FLAGS>>same as: -4H -mc -het -self "altA ogt33"
same as: <<NO FLAGS>>, but allows some other flags

-SCSurface same as: -drop -rad1.4 -out "not water"

same as: -drop -rad1.4 -out (note: user supplies pattern)
same as: -drop -rad0.0 -add1.4 -out "not water"
same as: -drop -rad0.0 -add1.4 -out (note: user supplies pattern)

-SCAN0 same as: -4H -mc -self "alta blt40 ogt33"

-SCAN1 same as: -4H -once "sc alta blt40 ogt33" "alta blt40 ogt65,(not water ogt33)"

(note that BOTH and ONCE require two patterns while
OUT, SELF and DUMPATOMINFO require just one pattern)

Occupancy less than # (integer percent)
Occupancy greater than # (integer percent)

Insert code a (where _ represents blank)

Patterns can be combined into comma separated lists such as "trp,phe,tyr" meaning TRP or PHE or TYR.
Patterns that are sepatated by blanks must all be true such as "chainb 1-5" meaning residues 1 to 5 in chain B.
You can also group patterns with parenthesis, separate multiple patterns with | meaning 'or' and choose the complement with NOT as in "not file1" meaning not in file 1.
An autobondrot file is similar to other PDB input files but it includes information identifying atoms subject to rotations and other transformations.
Example autobondrot file fragment showing Calpha-Cbeta bond rotation and a periodic torsion penalty function for this rotation
