DichroIDPs is a user-friendly, free-to-download-and-use software program that enables the analyses of circular dichroism (CD) and synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) spectroscopic data
- Download the DichroIDP repository and save the files onto your hard drive.
- Open the DichroIDP folder, which contains three folders: datasets, doc and DichroIDP. Do not remove any of these folders. Keep the whole package as it is.
- Open the DichroIDP folder and click on the .exe file (also make a shortcut to this file and put it on your desktop).
- There is a full set of instructions in DA_help.http accessed via the help menu. If it does not open directly from the help menu, the file can be found in the doc folder.
- If you wish to create your own dataset open a dataset files which contain four text files: lbl1.txt, lbl2.txt, A.txt and F.txt. copy the files to another folder named after your new dataset, then replace the data in them with your own data.
- A.txt contains CD data in columns from a high wavelength of 240nm
- F.txt contains secondary structure data for each protein in a.txt in the same order using structural assignments found in lbl1.txt
- lbl.2txt contains 1 row of protein labels in the same order.
- Now load the dataset into the application as described in the help file.
