# coils-wrap(1)

runs ncoils three times to give you a three-window output

## NAME

coils-wrap - runs ncoils three times to give you a three-window output

## SYNOPSIS

coils-wrap \[OPTION\]

## DESCRIPTION

coils-wrap runs ncoils three times to give you a three-window output.

ncoils is a program that compares a sequence to a database of known parallel two-stranded coiled-coils and derives a similarity score. By comparing this score to the distribution of scores in globular and coiled-coil proteins, the program then calculates the probability that the sequence will adopt a coiled-coil conformation.

## OPTIONS

- \-i

  input file in FASTA format

- \-o

  output file

- \-r

  raw output file, default: \`\<output file\>\_raw'

- \-m

  matrix type; set matrix (MTK or MTIDK)

- \-w

  weight a&d = b,c,e,f&g (boolean)

## EXAMPLES

`"coils-wrap -m MTIDK -i /usr/share/doc/ncoils/1srya.fa -o /tmp/coils.out -r /tmp/coils_raw.txt && less /tmp/coils.out /tmp/coils_raw.txt"`

`"ncoils -win 14 < /usr/share/doc/ncoils/1srya.fa"`

## FILES

- */usr/share/coiledcoils/\*.mat*
