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
              voronota-pocket --help
              voronota-membrane --help
