This is a standard Python list of all the residues in the
sequence. This can be used to query individual residue properties
(e.g. amino acid type) or to specify residues for use in restraints, etc.
Residues can be individually accessed in two ways:
- A string of the form 'RESIDUE_#[INS][:CHAIN_ID]', where
RESIDUE_# is a residue number (generally an integer, although
hybrid-36
notation is also
understood) and INS an optional insertion code, as they occur in the PDB or
mmCIF file of a model6.11; the optional CHAIN_ID is the single
character chain id as it occurs in the PDB file. For example, if 's' is a
Sequence object, PDB residue '10' in chain 'A' is given by
's.residues['10:A']'; if the chain has no chain id, 's.residues['10']'
would be sufficient. Note that the quotes are required to force the use
of PDB numbers.
- By numeric index, starting from zero, in standard Python fashion. For
example, if 's' is a Sequence object, 's.residues[1]' is the second
residue. Contrast with 's.residues['1']' above, which returns the residue
with PDB number '1'.
See Section 6.20 for more information about Residue
objects.
See also Model.residue_range(), for getting a contiguous range of
residues in a model.
