Add Column (HASL) Dialog Box


HASL Source:
radios: {Use Basic H-Val Parameters|Use Advanced H-Val Parameters|Use Partial Charges|Use HINT Model|Use Molconn-Z EState}
Designate the Data Source for the HASL model. The Basic H-Val parameter set designates each atom type as having a parameter that is one of the set {+1 0 -1}. The Advanced H-Val parameter set allows up to two parameters for each atom type and will accept an integer value for either parameter. Values between -5 and 5 are most reasonable. The current Partial Charge set is also available as a model source. These will be multiplied by the H-Val Gain Factor and rounded to the nearest integer. If you have a HINT license, you can use parameters from the HINT Model as the data source for HASL or if you have a Molconn-Z license you can use as input the Electrotopological State (EState). Again these are multiplied by the H-Val Gain Factor and rounded to the nearest integer.

H-Val Gain Factor
field
Enter a value for the "Gain" to be applied to HASL Models created using "Partial Charges" or the "HINT Model". It is important that the "H-Val" parameter used in creating the model be (more or less) in the range from -5 to 5. Thus, the value of H-Val Gain Factor is critical. Reasonable values are on the order of 2-5 for Partial Charge Models; 1-2 for HINT Models that do not include Solvent Accessible Surface Area (i.e., Include SASA Factor in Parameter in the HINT Parameters for HASL dialog box is "off"); 0.05-0.10 for HINT Models that include Solvent Accessible Surface Area; and 0.25-1.00 for EState Models.

Edit Basic Atomic H-Val Parameters
push button
Use this command to examine and/or change the values of the H-Val in the Basic parameter set. This button calls the Edit Basic H-Val Parameters dialog box.

Edit Advanced Atomic H-Val Parameters
push button
Use this command to examine and/or change the values of the H-Val in the Advanced parameter set. This button calls the Edit Advanced H-Val Parameters dialog box.

Edit HINT Partition Parameters
push button
Use this command to examine and/or change the adjustable parameters used by HINT to calculate the hydrophobic atom constant and atomic SASA sets for the molecules. This button calls the HINT Parameters for HASL dialog box.

Edit Molconn-Z EState Parameters
push button
Use this command to examine and/or change the adjustable parameters used by Molconn-Z to calculate the Electrotopological State (EState) atom constants for the molecules. This button calls the Edit EState Parameters for HASL dialog box.

Hydrogen Treatment
radios: {United|Essential|All}
This menu describes how the HASL model will treat hydrogens; there are three options: "United" (using an approach that treats all hydrogens implicitly as part of their parent heavy atom), "Essential" (using an approach that treats (only) polar hydrogens explicitly), and "All". In general the Essential option is best for many applications.

HASL Region
radio button set: {Use Pre-existing Region File|Pre-Calculate as Union...|Define...}
Choose the method by which the SYBYL/HASL region is to be defined. This region must be large enough to encompass the area of interest in all molecules in the spreadsheet. Use Pre-existing means that the region is defined by an existing SYBYL region file on disk. Pre-Calculate as Union... invokes the Calculate SYBYL Region Automatically dialog box which defines the region based on the union space spanned by the molecule set. Define... invokes the Define SYBYL Region dialog box which allows you to enter the region as arbitrary boxes in cartesian space.

SYBYL Region File
field and push button
This field specifies the name of the SYBYL Region File to be used for creation of the HASL lattice. If the Region is created by Pre-Calculate as Union... or Define... this field will be filled by a return value from the associated dialog boxes. If the Region is Use Pre-existing, you will have to either enter the name of the region file or select from the supplied list by using the ... button.

HASL Model File
field
Identify the HASL model (.hsl) filename that you wish to use for this run. The .hsl file maintains records of the associated parameters and filenames for the model. As you are proceed in sequence from the creation of the molecular HASL lattices through model creation and molecule prediction, this parameter will be filled by default with this selection.
