Sidechaincenters

sidechain centers

Pseudo single-atom representation of sidechains. Usefull for pair potential calculation for example.

Example

DESCRIPTION

    Creates an object with sidechain representing pseudoatoms for each residue
    in selection.

    Sidechain interaction centers as defined by Bahar and Jernigan 1996
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9080182

USAGE

    sidechaincenters object [, selection]

ARGUMENTS

    object = string: name of object to create

    selection = string: atoms to consider {default: (all)}

    name = string: atom name of pseudoatoms {default: PS1}

def sidechaincentroids(object='scc', selection='all', name='PS1'):
    '''
DESCRIPTION

    Sidechain centroids. Works like "sidechaincenters", but the
    pseudoatom is the centroid of all atoms except hydrogens and backbone atoms
    (N, C and O).

NOTE

    If you want to exclude C-alpha atoms from sidechains, modify the selection
    like in this example:

    sidechaincentroids newobject, all and (not name CA or resn GLY)
