Specifying molecule positions
The following snippet will load one locally defined PDB file and will add a single instance to the sample model. This will put the molecule in the centre of the sample volume.
sample:
molecules:
local:
- filename: myfile.pdb
instances: 1
The following snippet will load one locally defined PDB file and will add a 10 instances to the sample model. This will give the molecules randomly assigned positions and orientations within the sample volume.
sample:
molecules:
local:
- filename: myfile.pdb
instances: 10
The following snippet will load two locally defined PDB files and one model from the PDB. The first model had two instances, the first of which has a random position and random orientation. The second instance has defined position and random orientation. The second molecule has two instances, the first of which has random position and defined orientation and the second instance has defined position and orientation. The PDB model has 10 instances with random position and orientation.

Applying radiation damage
Parakeet implements a simple radiation damage model which uses an isotropic B factor to blur the atomic potential during simulation. The B factor increases linearly with the incident electron dose according to a sensitivity coefficient. To apply the beam damage model you can set the following parameters which will enable the beam damage model and simulate the images using a dose symmetric scheme.
simulation:
radiation_damage_model: true
sensitivity_coefficient: 0.022
scan:
mode: dose_symmetric
