IMP::atom::Hierarchy Class Reference

Detailed Description

The standard decorator for manipulating molecular structures.

IMP represents molecular structures using the Hierachy 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 significant. For example we could introduce a fragment containing residues 0 and 1:

dot_inline_dotgraph_4.png

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.

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.

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.

PDB Writing

The methods to write a PDBs 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 write_pdb (Hierarchy mhd, base::TextOutput out, unsigned int model=0)
void write_pdb (const Hierarchies &mhd, base::TextOutput out, unsigned int model=0)
void write_multimodel_pdb (const Hierarchies &mhd, base::TextOutput out)

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() return Residue(get_particle()), if not it returns Residue().

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.

Restraint * create_excluded_volume_restraint ( const Hierarchies &  hs,
double  resolution = -1 
) [related]

Create an excluded volume restraint for the included molecules. If a value is provided for resolution, then something less than the full resolution representation will be used.

If one or more of the selections is a rigid body, this will be used to accelerate the computation.

Hierarchy create_protein ( Model m,
std::string  name,
double  resolution,
int  number_of_residues,
int  first_residue_index = 0,
double  volume = -1 
) [related]

Create a coarse grained molecule.

The coarse grained model is created with a number of spheres based on the resolution and the volume. If the volume is not provided it is estimated based on the number of residues. The protein is created as a molecular hierarchy rooted at p. The leaves are Domain particles with appropriate residue indexes stored and are XYZR particles.

Volume is, as usual, in cubic anstroms.

Currently the function creates a set of balls with radii no greater than resolution which overlap by 20% and have a volume of their union equal to the passed volume.

The coordinates of the balls defining the protein are optimized by default, and have garbage coordinate values.

Warning: create_protein has not been well tested yet
Use with caution and please report any bugs found.
Warning: create_protein has not been stabilized and is likely to change without notice.
