Hi list, I could not find how to Generate a density map from a structure with a *fixed* dimension : When using IMP.em.SampledDensityMap(ps,resolution,apix) with a fixed size for apix, the grid size depends on the resolution. I would like to write a function that would allow me to generate maps with the same number of vertices (and the same space coverage) for different resolutions. I thus tried : def pdbFile2dmap (pdbStream,densityFile,resolution,apix,sel,bboxCoverage=1.2): ''' pdbStream : where to read the structure densityFile : name of the file where to drop the density map resolution : resolution of the density map apix : voxel size sel : selector for reading structure bboxCoverage : approximate bbox coverage of the density map ''' m= IMP.Model() # read protein mh = IMP.atom.read_pdb(pdbStream,m,sel) # add radius info to each atom IMP.atom.add_radii(mh) # compute bbox, and map size in voxels bbox = IMP.atom.get_bounding_box(mh) diag = bbox.get_corner(0) - bbox.get_corner(1) nx = int(bboxCoverage * diag[0] / apix) ny = int(bboxCoverage * diag[1] / apix) nz = int(bboxCoverage * diag[2] / apix) # compute origin origin = bbox.get_corner(0) + (1-bboxCoverage)/2 * diag dmap = IMP.em.SampledDensityMap() # dmap.CreateVoidMap(nx,ny,nz) ps = IMP.Particles(IMP.core.get_leaves(mh)) dmap.set_particles(ps) dmap.set_origin(origin) dmap.get_header_writable().set_number_of_voxels(nx,ny,nz) dmap.get_header_writable().set_resolution(resolution) dmap.update_voxel_size(apix) dmap.resample() dmap.calcRMS() # computes statistic stuff about the map and insert it in the header print dmap.get_header().show(),"\n" IMP.em.write_map(dmap,densityFile,IMP.em.MRCReaderWriter()) that resulted in : python(10802) malloc: *** mmap(size=18446744073709314048) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Traceback (most recent call last): File "./pdb2density.py", line 181, in <module> pdbFile2dmap(pdbStream,densityFile,resolution,apix,sel,1.2) File "./pdb2density.py", line 75, in pdbFile2dmap dmap.update_voxel_size(apix) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IMP/em/__init__.py", line 428, in update_voxel_size def update_voxel_size(self, *args): return _IMP_em.DensityMap_update_voxel_size(self, *args) MemoryError: std::bad_alloc Can you tell me if my approach is OK, and how to solve my allocation problem ? I would also like to know if there are easy means in IMP to 1.) Strip a density map : out of an existing map, create a new map or restrict the existing one, so as to conserve only a central subset of voxels 2.) Re-sample a map : Conserve the density map "box" size, and change the number of voxels that cover it --Ben |
