PDB Reading

The read PDB methods produce a hierarchy that looks as follows:

  • One Atom per ATOM or HETATM record in the PDB.
  • All Atom particles have a parent which is a Residue.
  • All Residue particles have a parent which is a Chain.

Waters are currently dropped if they are ATOM records. This can be fixed.

The read_pdb() functions should successfully parse all valid PDB files. It can produce warnings on files which are not valid. It will attempt to read such files, but all bets are off.

In order to track the provenance of IMP-generated models, the provenance of any PDB files read in here - for example, the PDB id, or detail about a comparative model - needs to also be tracked. This is done using the PDB headers:

  • Structures stored in the PDB database should keep the standard HEADER record stating their PDB ID.
  • Comparative models generated using MODELLER should include the MODELLER-generated EXPDTA and REMARK records.
  • Structures that are trivial modifications of an existing PDB structure or comparative model should use the TITLE record to describe the nature of the modification (e.g. rotation and translation) and one of the two following custom EXPDTA record formats to point to the original structure:
    • EXPDTA DERIVED FROM PDB:1XYZ
    • EXPDTA DERIVED FROM COMPARATIVE MODEL, DOI:x.y/z
  • Structures generated from multiple sources (e.g. two structures that have been docked and then concatenated into a single PDB file) are not allowed. Store each constituent structure in its own file and annotate each one with a suitable EXPDTA record, as above. Note that while provenance of PDB files is not currently enforced, it likely will be in future IMP releases.

When reading PDBs, PDBSelector objects can be used to choose to only process certain record types. See the class documentation for more information. When no PDB selector is supplied for reading, the NonWaterPDBSelector is used.

Set the IMP::LogLevel to VERBOSE to see details of parse errors.

Hierarchies IMP::atom::read_multimodel_pdb (TextInput input, Model *model, PDBSelector *selector=get_default_pdb_selector())
 

PDB Writing

The methods to write a PDB expects a Hierarchy that looks as follows:

  • all leaves are Atom particles
  • all Atom particles have Residue particles as parents

All Residue particles that have a Chain particle as an ancestor are considered part of a protein, DNA or RNA, ones without are considered heterogens.

The functions produce files that are not valid PDB files, eg only ATOM/HETATM lines are printed for all Atom particles in the hierarchy. Complain if your favorite program can't read them and we might fix it.

void IMP::atom::write_pdb (const Selection &mhd, TextOutput out, unsigned int model=1)
 
void IMP::atom::write_pdb_of_c_alphas (const Selection &mhd, TextOutput out, unsigned int model=1)
 Write a hierarchy to a PDB as C_alpha atoms. More...
 
void IMP::atom::write_multimodel_pdb (const Hierarchies &mhd, TextOutput out)
