DESCRIPTION

       The  analysis  of macromolecular structures often requires a comprehensive definition of atomic neighbor‐
       hoods.  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, com‐
       pare 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
