Detailed Description

The standard decorator for manipulating molecular structures.

IMP represents molecular structures using the Hierarchy decorator. Molecules and collections of molecules each are stored as a hierarchy (or tree) where the resolution of the representation increases as you move further from the root. That is, if a parent has some particular property (eg, marks out a volume by having a x,y,z coordinates and a radius), then the children should have a higher resolution form of that information (eg, mark out a more detailed excluded volume by defining a set of balls which having approximately the same total volume).

Tree Basics

In a tree you have a set of nodes, represented by Hierarchy particles. Each node can have a node can have at most one parent. The node with no parent is known as the root of the tree.

Here is a simple example with a protein with three residues. Two of the residues have atoms, where as the third is coarse grained.

The nodes in the hierarchy can correspond to arbitrary bits of a molecule and do not need to have any biological significance. For example we could introduce a fragment containing residues 0 and 1:

A hierarchy can have any tree structure as long as:

The get_is_valid() method checks some of these properties. Any method taking a hierarchy as an argument should do

IMP_USAGE_CHECK(h.get_is_valid(), "Invalid hierarchy as input");

to make sure the hierarchy makes sense.

A number of decorator types are associated with the Hierarchy to store the information associated with that node in the hierarchy. Examples include Residue, Atom, XYZ, Chain, XYZR, Mass, Domain, Molecule etc. We provide a get_as_x() function for each such decorator which returns either X() (a null type) if the node is not a particle of type x, or an X decorator wrapping the current particle if it is.

Methods to get associated decorators

We provide a number of helper methods to get associated decorators for the current node in the hierarchy. As an example, if the particle decorated by this decorator is a Residue particle, then get_as_residue() returns Residue(get_particle()), if not it returns Residue().
