6.12. MMTF trajectory reader — `MDAnalysis.coordinates.MMTF`

Reads coordinates data from the Macromolecular Transmission Format format (MMTF). This should generally be a quicker alternative to PDB.

New in version 0.16.0.

Changed in version 0.20.0: Unit cell is now properly treated as optional

6.12.1. Classes

class MDAnalysis.coordinates.MMTF.MMTFReader(filename, convert_units=True, n_atoms=None, **kwargs)[source]: Coordinate reader for the Macromolecular Transmission Format format (MMTF).

MDAnalysis.coordinates.MMTF.fetch_mmtf(pdb_id)[source]

Create a Universe from the RCSB Protein Data Bank using mmtf format

Parameters:: pdb_id (string) – PDB code of the desired data, eg ‘4UCP’
