Q.832 - What can I do with O datablocks ?

See the ODBMAN manual for some suggestions. ODBMAN contains tools for:

1. analysing individual datablocks
2. simple math operations on datablocks
3. correlating sets of two datablocks
4. plotting a single datablock
5. generating a scatter plot from two datablocks
6. "translating" datablocks
7. setting specific values in a datablock
8. compressing text datablocks
9. extracting datablocks from formatted files (e.g., X-PLOR and PROCHECK output files)

Some of the things you can do with ODBMAN with a little creativity:

• colour your molecule in the colours of the Dutch flag
• convert YASSPA output into a NUMERICAL datablock (which you can then use in CricketGraph to plot your secondary structure and RS-fit values in one drawing, for example)
