Rotamers

A rotamer represents an amino acid sidechain and is basically a set of Particle objects. There exist two types. The RRMRotamer and FRMRotamer. To gather all possible rotamers for one particular sidechain position, ProMod3 offers the RRMRotamerGroup and FRMRotamerGroup. Pairwise interactions between particles give raise to pairwise energies between rotamers. Nevertheless, the energy calculation itself happens on the level of RotamerGroups and is mostly hidden away in the construction of the the RotamerGraph. If you’re too lazy to build up your rotamers by hand, you might be interested in the RotamerConstructor.

The Smallest Building Block - The Particle

Particles give raise to more complex objects such as rotamers and frame residues. They contain all data required to calculate pairwise energies. For every energy function available in ProMod3, there’s a particle creation function.

class promod3.sidechain.PScoringFunction

The available scoring functions between Particle objects

  • SCWRL4
class promod3.sidechain.Particle

The particle class. There’s no constructor. You can either use the RotamerConstructor to create full RotamerGroup objects with all underlying particles or the energy function specific creation functions.

PairwiseScore(other_particle)

The SCWRL4 scoring function

class promod3.sidechain.SCWRL4ParticleType

The SCWRL4 energy function differentiates between following particle types

  • HParticle - represents hydrogen

  • CH3Particle - represents carbon bound to 3 hydrogen
  • NParticle - represents nitrogen
  • OParticle - default representation of oxygen
  • OCParticle - represents carbonyl-oxygen for ASP/GLU
