Function Documentation

def ost::mol::alg::helix_kinks::AnalyzeHelixKink	(		t,
			sele,
			proline = False
	)

This function calculates the bend,wobble and face-shift angles
in an alpha-helix over a trajectory. The determination is more stable if
there are at least 4 residues on each side (8 is even better) of the proline around which
the helix is kinked. The selection should contain all residues in the correct
order and with no gaps and no missing C-alphas.

:param t: The trajectory to be analyzed
:type t: `~ost.mol.CoordGroup`
:param sele: A selection containing the alpha helix to be analyzed
:type sele: :class:`~ost.mol.EntityView`
:param proline=False: A selection containing only the proline (or another residue) around 
 which the helix is kinked. If False, the proline will be serached for automatically
:type proline: :class:`ost.mol.EntityView`

:return: A tuple (bend_angle, face_shift, wobble_angle).
:rtype: (FloatList, FLoatList, FloatList)

def ost::mol::alg::helix_kinks::CalculateHelixKink	(		sele,
			proline = False
	)

This function calculates the bend,wobble and face-shift angles
in an alpha-helix of an EntityView. The determination is more stable if
there are at least 4 residues on each side (8 is even better) of the prolin around which
the helix is kinked. The selection should contain all residues in the correct
order and with no gaps and no missing C-alphas.

:param sele: A selection containing the alpha helix to be analyzed
:type sele: :class:`~ost.mol.EntityView`
:param proline=False: A selection containing only the proline (or another residue) around 
 which the helix is kinked. If False, the proline will be serached for automatically
:type proline: :class:`ost.mol.EntityView`

:return: A tuple (bend_angle, face_shift, wobble_angle).
:rtype: (float, float, float)
