The input file contains a lot of information. Each of the keywords is described in the CAVER documentation.
A particular PDB residue or atom number in the PDB can be specified with
starting_point_residue
or starting_point_atom
. It is suggested that you
use a cofactor or inhibitor for these keywords.
