Detailed Description

base class for ChainHandle and ChainView

This class implements the common functionality of ChainHandle and ChainView.

Like residues and atoms, chains are generic property containers and a such able to store user-defined properties.

Chains are linear chains of residues. Peptide chains are ordered from N- to C-terminus.

bool IsPolymer

(

)

const

whether the chain is a polymer

True if one of IsPolysaccharide(), IsPolynucleotide(), IsPolypeptide() is true or the chain is of type CHAINTYPE_POLYMER.

bool IsPolynucleotide

(

)

const

whether the chain is a polynucleotide

bool IsPolypeptide

(

)

const

whether the chain is a polypeptide

bool IsPolysaccharide

(

)

const

whether the chain is a polysaccharide

bool IsValid

(

)

const [inline]

check validity of handle

See also:

operator bool()

Reimplemented in ChainView.

Definition at line 58 of file chain_base.hh.

operator bool

(

)

const [inline]

check validity of handle

check, whether the chain handle points to a valid handle.

Note:

It is an error to use any method other than IsValid, Impl() and operator bool() when the handle is invalid. An InvalidHandle exception will be thrown.

Reimplemented in ChainView.
