NAME

       voronota command [options]...

       voronota-voromqa [options]...

DESCRIPTION

       The   analysis  of  macromolecular  structures  often  requires  a  comprehensive  definition  of  atomic
       neighborhoods.  Such a definition can be  based  on  the  Voronoi  diagram  of  balls,  where  each  ball
       represents  an  atom  of  some  van  der  Waals  radius.  Voronota is a software tool for finding all the
       vertices of the Voronoi diagram of balls.  Such vertices correspond to the centers of the  empty  tangent
       spheres defined by quadruples of balls.  Voronota is especially suitable for processing three-dimensional
       structures of biological macromolecules such as proteins and RNA.

       Since version 1.2 Voronota also uses the Voronoi vertices to construct inter-atom  contact  surfaces  and
       solvent  accessible  surfaces.   Voronota  provides  tools to query contacts, generate contacts graphics,
       compare contacts and evaluate quality of protein structural models using contacts.

       The list of all available Voronota commands is displayed when executing Voronota without any parameters.

       Command help is shown when --help command line option is present, for example:

              voronota calculate-vertices --help

       Using --help option without specific command results in printing help for all commands:

              voronota --help

       There are several Voronota wrapper scripts, their interfaces can displayed similarly:

              voronota-voromqa --help
              voronota-cadscore --help
              voronota-contacts --help
              voronota-volumes --help

       The README file distributed with Voronota contains more detailed documentation.
