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 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 have approximately the same total volume).

Tree Basics

In a tree you have a set of nodes, represented by Hierarchy particles. Each 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 type of the parent makes sense for the child: eg a Residue cannot be the parent of a Chain.
  • the leaves always have coordinates, radius and mass
  • all particles in the hierarchy are from the same model
  • all Atoms have a Residue as the parent
  • any Atom with a non-heterogen atom type is part of a protein, DNA or RNA molecule
  • all Residue children of a particle appear in order based on their index
  • all Atom children of a particle appear in order of their AtomType
  • if a node has residue indexes, all its descendants down to the residue level also do.

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.

Note
Deleting a Hierarchy, like deleting any decorator, will not delete the underlying Particle or remove any children. To do that, call destroy().

Friends And Related Function Documentation

Hierarchy create_clone ( Hierarchy  d)
related

Clone the Hierarchy.

This method copies the Bond, Bonded, Atom, Residue, and Domain data and the particle name to the new copies in addition to the Hierarchy relationships.

Hierarchy create_clone_one ( Hierarchy  d)
related

Clone the node in the Hierarchy.

This method copies the Atom, Residue, Chain and Domain data and the particle name.

Hierarchy create_fragment ( const Hierarchies ps)
related

Create a fragment containing the specified nodes.

A particle representing the fragment is created and initialized.

The Fragment is inserted as a child of the parent (and the particles are removed). The particles become children of the fragment.

Exceptions
ValueExceptionIf all the particles do not have the same parent.
void destroy ( Hierarchy  d)
related

Delete the Hierarchy.

All bonds connecting to these atoms are destroyed as are hierarchy links in the Hierarchy and the particles are removed from the Model. If this particle has a parent, it is removed from the parent.

algebra::BoundingBoxD< 3 > get_bounding_box ( const Hierarchy h)
related

Get a bounding box for the Hierarchy.

This bounding box is that of the highest (in the CS sense of a tree growing down from the root) cut through the tree where each node in the cut has x,y,z, and r. That is, if the root has x,y,z,r then it is the bounding box of that sphere. If only the leaves have radii, it is the bounding box of the leaves. If no such cut exists, the behavior is undefined.

bool get_is_heterogen ( Hierarchy  h)
related

Return true if the piece of hierarchy should be classified as a heterogen.

For the purposes of classification, a heterogen is anything that

  • is a heterogen atom (one whose name starts with HET:)
  • is or is part of a Residue that is not a normal protein, rna or dna residue
  • or is not part of a Chain

For the moment, this can only be called on residues or atoms.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

Hierarchy get_residue ( Hierarchy  mhd,
unsigned int  index 
)
related

Get the residue with the specified index.

Find the leaf containing the residue with the appropriate index. This is the PDB index, not the offset in the chain (if they are different).

The function returns a Hierarchy, rather than a Residue since the residue may not be explicitly represented and may just be part of some fragment.

Exceptions
ValueExceptionif mhd's type is not one of CHAIN, PROTEIN, NUCLEOTIDE
Returns
Hierarchy() if that residue is not found.
Hierarchy get_root ( Hierarchy  h)

Return the root of the hierarchy.
