Detailed Description

Set of python classes to create a multi-state, multi-resolution IMP hierarchy.

• Start by creating a System with mdl = IMP.Model(); s = IMP.pmi.topology.System(mdl). The System will store all the states.
• Then call System.create_state(). You can easily create a multistate system by calling this function multiples times.
• For each State, call State.create_molecule() to add a Molecule (a uniquely named polymer). This function returns the Molecule object which can be passed to various PMI functions.
• Some useful functions to help you set up your Molecules:
  • Access the sequence residues with slicing (Molecule[a:b]) or functions like Molecule.get_atomic_residues() and Molecule.get_non_atomic_residues(). These functions all return python sets for easy set arithmetic using & (and), | (or), - (difference)
  • Molecule.add_structure() to add structural information from a PDB file.
  • Molecule.add_representation() to create a representation unit - here you can choose bead resolutions as well as alternate representations like densities or ideal helices.
  • Molecule.create_clone() lets you set up a molecule with identical representations, just a different chain ID. Use Molecule.create_copy() if you want a molecule with the same sequence but that allows custom representations.
• Once data has been added and representations chosen, call System.build() to create a canonical IMP hierarchy.
• Following hierarchy construction, setup rigid bodies, flexible beads, etc in IMP::pmi::dof.
• Check your representation with a nice printout: IMP::atom::show_with_representation() See a comprehensive example for using these classes.

Alternatively one can construct the entire topology and degrees of freedom via formatted text file with TopologyReader and IMP::pmi::macros::BuildSystem(). This is used in the PMI tutorial. Note that this only allows a limited set of the full options available to PMI users (rigid bodies only, fixed resolutions).

Function Documentation

def IMP.pmi.topology.fasta_pdb_alignments	(		fasta_sequences,
			pdb_sequences,
			show = False
	)

This function computes and prints the alignment between the fasta file and the pdb sequence, computes the offsets for each contiguous fragment in the PDB.

Parameters

fasta_sequences	IMP.pmi.topology.Sequences object
pdb_sequences	IMP.pmi.topology.PDBSequences object
show	boolean default False, if True prints the alignments. The input objects should be generated using map_name dictionaries such that fasta_id and pdb_chain_id are mapping to the same protein name. It needs Biopython. Returns a dictionary of offsets, organized by peptide range (group): example: offsets={"ProtA":{(1,10):1,(20,30):10}}

Note

This function is only available in Python.
