asphericity(pbc=False, unwrap=None, compound='group')

Asphericity.

See [Dima2004b] for background information.

Parameters:

• pbc (bool, optional) – If True, move all atoms within the primary unit cell before calculation. [False]
• unwrap (bool, optional) – If True, compounds will be unwrapped before computing their centers.
• compound ({'group', 'segments', 'residues', 'molecules', 'fragments'}, optional) – Which type of component to keep together during unwrapping.

center_of_mass(pbc=False, compound='group', unwrap=False)

Center of mass of (compounds of) the group.

Computes the center of mass of Atoms in the group. Centers of mass per Residue, Segment, molecule, or fragment can be obtained by setting the compound parameter accordingly. If the masses of a compound sum up to zero, the center of mass coordinates of that compound will be nan (not a number).

Parameters:

• pbc (bool, optional) – If True and compound is 'group', move all atoms to the primary unit cell before calculation. If True and compound is 'segments' or 'residues', the centers of mass of each compound will be calculated without moving any atoms to keep the compounds intact. Instead, the resulting center-of-mass position vectors will be moved to the primary unit cell after calculation.
• compound ({'group', 'segments', 'residues', 'molecules', 'fragments'},) – optional If 'group', the center of mass of all atoms in the group will be returned as a single position vector. Otherwise, the centers of mass of each Segment, Residue, molecule, or fragment will be returned as an array of position vectors, i.e. a 2d array. Note that, in any case, only the positions of Atoms belonging to the group will be taken into account.
• unwrap (bool, optional) – If True, compounds will be unwrapped before computing their centers.

Returns:

center – Position vector(s) of the center(s) of mass of the group. If compound was set to 'group', the output will be a single position vector. If compound was set to 'segments' or 'residues', the output will be a 2d coordinate array of shape (n, 3) where n is the number of compounds.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

sequence(**kwargs)

Returns the amino acid sequence.

The format of the sequence is selected with the keyword format:

format	description
‘SeqRecord’	Bio.SeqRecord.SeqRecord (default)
‘Seq’	Bio.Seq.Seq
‘string’	string

The sequence is returned by default (keyword format = 'SeqRecord') as a Bio.SeqRecord.SeqRecord instance, which can then be further processed. In this case, all keyword arguments (such as the id string or the name or the description) are directly passed to Bio.SeqRecord.SeqRecord.

If the keyword format is set to 'Seq', all kwargs are ignored and a Bio.Seq.Seq instance is returned. The difference to the record is that the record also contains metadata and can be directly used as an input for other functions in Bio.

If the keyword format is set to 'string', all kwargs are ignored and a Python string is returned.

Example: Write FASTA file

Use Bio.SeqIO.write(), which takes sequence records:

import Bio.SeqIO

# get the sequence record of a protein component of a Universe
protein = u.select_atoms("protein")
record = protein.sequence(id="myseq1", name="myprotein")

Bio.SeqIO.write(record, "single.fasta", "fasta")

A FASTA file with multiple entries can be written with

Bio.SeqIO.write([record1, record2, ...], "multi.fasta", "fasta")

Parameters:

• format (string, optional) –
  • "string": return sequence as a string of 1-letter codes
  • "Seq": return a Bio.Seq.Seq instance
  • "SeqRecord": return a Bio.SeqRecord.SeqRecord instance

  Default is "SeqRecord"

• id (optional) – Sequence ID for SeqRecord (should be different for different sequences)
• name (optional) – Name of the protein.
• description (optional) – Short description of the sequence.
• kwargs (optional) – Any other keyword arguments that are understood by class:Bio.SeqRecord.SeqRecord.

Raises:

• ValueError if a residue name cannot be converted to a
• 1-letter IUPAC protein amino acid code; make sure to only
• select protein residues.
• TypeError if an unknown format is selected.
