Drawing upon the findSurfaceResidues script, the findSurfaceCharge script will identify and output a list of all charged residues on the surface of a selectionand calculates the ionization state of a protein at a given pH. The charge can be calculated for either a folded or denatured protein. This function is intended to be used to give buffer conditions for mass spectrometry.

Usage

findSurfaceResiduesListCharged [pH=7.0 [, folded=True [, selection=all [, cutoff=2.5 ]]]

Arguments

  • pH = float: The pH to calculate the surface charge at {default: 7.0}
  • Folded = bool: Whether the program should calculate the charge of a folded (True) or denatured (False) protein.
  • selection = str: The object or selection for which to find exposed residues {default: all}
  • cutoff = float: The cutoff in square Angstroms that defines exposed or not. Those atoms with > cutoff Ang^2 exposed will be considered exposed {default: 2.5 Ang^2}

Examples

run findSurfaceResiduesListCharged.py
fetch 4FIX

findSurfaceResiduesListCharged

# see how pH changes the protein surface charge:
findSurfaceResiduesListCharged(7.0)
    The expected surface charge of this protein at pH 7.0 is: -2.55

findSurfaceResiduesListCharged(7.0, False)
    The expected charge of this denatured protein at pH 7.0 is: +0.26

findSurfaceResiduesListCharged[10.0]
    The expected surface charge of this protein at pH 10.0 is: -14.19
