6.3.1 Acceptor Atom

Finds an atom that can act as a hydrogen-bond acceptor. When defining the acceptor atom, you can associate it to a particular donor site feature, and thereby specify the directionality of the hydrogen bond. If a donor site is associated to the atom, a line connecting the two is displayed. This feature type is represented by a single point at the designated location.

Limitation:

UNITY attempts to model what would happen to a molecule at physiological pH. As a result, some structures might yield slightly different site points than expected.

SLN Format

acceptor_atom[name=feature_name;target=target_spec;\ 
	 connection=donor_site;rules=rule_names;\
	 color=name_of_color]

name--Name for the heteroatom accepting the hydrogen.
target--Target value for the feature.
connection--Associated (existing) donor site that forms the acceptor-donor pair with this acceptor atom.
rules--List of rules, from the file $TA_ROOT/tables/sln3d_macros.def, to apply. Only the rules listed are applied, and they are applied in the order given.
color--Optional. Color to use for the feature.

SLN Examples

 
        acceptor_atom[name=acceptor_atom1;target=(-4.141,4.523,\
	 0.603)l;color=green] 
        acceptor_atom[name=acceptor_atom2;target=(0.458,-4.615,\
	 1.708);connection=donor_site1;color=green]

Define Acceptor Atom Feature in SYBYL

Define acceptor atom:

UNITY > Define Query > Manage

Select MACRO and ACCEPTOR_ATOM as class and type, respectively.
Press Add.
Click atom/feature defining new feature.
Enter a name for the new feature.
Select an existing donor site to associate with the acceptor atom, if desired; otherwise, press End Select.
Specify if a spatial constraint should be created. If Yes, enter a tolerance and a color.

or UNITY > Features > Acceptor Atom

Specify molecular area containing the query.
Select method of defining the feature:
ENTER_TARGET--Enter coordinates for the feature.
PICK_FEATURE_OR_ATOM--Click feature/atom defining new feature.
POSITION_WITH_MOUSE--Click and drag displayed feature point to desired location.
Enter a name for new feature.
Select an existing donor site to associate with the acceptor atom, if desired; otherwise, press End Select.
Specify if a spatial constraint should be created. If Yes, enter a tolerance and a color.

Command:

DEFINE UNITY_FEATURE ACCEPTOR_ATOM \ mol_area ENTER_TARGET|\ PICK_FEATURE_OR_ATOM [xyz] name \ assoc_feature constraint [tolerance]

mol_area--Area containing the query.
ENTER_TARGET--Enter coordinates identifying the feature's target location.
PICK_FEATURE_OR_ATOM--Click atom/feature defining new feature.
name--Name of the new feature.
assoc_feature--Identify an existing donor site to associated with the acceptor atom, if desired; otherwise enter the end loop character (in picking mode press End Select).
constraint--Specify if a spatial constraint should be created. If YES, enter a tolerance and a color.
