r"""Dihedral angles analysis --- :mod:`MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals`

.. versionadded:: 0.19.0
This module contains classes for calculating dihedral angles for a given set of
atoms or residues. This can be done for selected frames or whole trajectories.
A list of time steps that contain angles of interest is generated and can be
easily plotted if desired. For the :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Ramachandran`
and :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Janin` classes, basic plots can be
generated using the method :meth:`Ramachandran.plot` or :meth:`Janin.plot`.
These plots are best used as references, but they also allow for user customization.

:func:`MDAnalysis.lib.distances.calc_dihedrals()`
function to calculate dihedral angles from atom positions
Example applications
--------------------
General dihedral analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Dihedral` class is useful for calculating
angles for many dihedrals of interest. For example, we can find the phi angles
for residues 5-10 of adenylate kinase (AdK). The trajectory is included within
the test data files::
import MDAnalysis as mda
from MDAnalysisTests.datafiles import GRO, XTC
u = mda.Universe(GRO, XTC)
# selection of atomgroups
ags = [res.phi_selection() for res in u.residues[4:9]]
from MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals import Dihedral
R = Dihedral(ags).run()
The angles can then be accessed with :attr:`Dihedral.results.angles`.
Ramachandran analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Ramachandran` class allows for the
quick calculation of classical Ramachandran plots :footcite:p:`Ramachandran1963` in
the backbone :math:`phi` and :math:`psi` angles. Unlike the
:class:`~MDanalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Dihedral` class which takes a list of
`atomgroups`, this class only needs a list of residues or atoms from those
residues. The previous example can repeated with::
u = mda.Universe(GRO, XTC)
r = u.select_atoms("resid 5-10")
R = Ramachandran(r).run()
Then it can be plotted using the built-in plotting method :meth:`Ramachandran.plot()`::
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=plt.figaspect(1))
R.plot(ax=ax, color='k', marker='o', ref=True)
fig.tight_layout()
as shown in the example :ref:`Ramachandran plot figure <figure-ramachandran>`.
.. _figure-ramachandran:
.. figure:: /images/rama_demo_plot.png
:scale: 50 %
:alt: Ramachandran plot
Ramachandran plot for residues 5 to 10 of AdK, sampled from the AdK test
trajectory (XTC). The contours in the background are the "allowed region"
and the "marginally allowed" regions.
To plot the data yourself, the angles can be accessed using
:attr:`Ramachandran.results.angles`.
.. Note::
The Ramachandran analysis is prone to errors if the topology contains
duplicate or missing atoms (e.g. atoms with `altloc` or incomplete
residues). If the topology has as an `altloc` attribute, you must specify
only one `altloc` for the atoms with more than one (``"protein and not
altloc B"``).
Janin analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Janin plots :footcite:p:`Janin1978` for side chain conformations (:math:`\chi_1`
and :math:`chi_2` angles) can be created with the
:class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.dihedrals.Janin` class. It works in the same way,
only needing a list of residues; see the :ref:`Janin plot figure
<figure-janin>` as an example.
The data for the angles can be accessed in the attribute
:attr:`Janin.results.angles`.
.. _figure-janin:
.. figure:: /images/janin_demo_plot.png
:scale: 50 %
:alt: Janin plot
Janin plot for all residues of AdK, sampled from the AdK test trajectory
(XTC). The contours in the background are the "allowed region" and the
"marginally allowed" regions for all possible residues.
.. Note::
The Janin analysis is prone to errors if the topology contains duplicate or
missing atoms (e.g. atoms with `altloc` or incomplete residues). If the
topology has as an `altloc` attribute, you must specify only one `altloc`
for the atoms with more than one (``"protein and not altloc B"``).
Furthermore, many residues do not have a :math:`\chi_2` dihedral and if the
selections of residues is not carefully filtered to only include those
residues with *both* sidechain dihedrals then a :exc:`ValueError` with the
message *Too many or too few atoms selected* is raised.
Reference plots
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reference plots can be added to the axes for both the Ramachandran and Janin
classes using the kwarg ``ref=True`` for the :meth:`Ramachandran.plot`
and :meth:`Janin.plot` methods. The Ramachandran reference data
(:data:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.data.filenames.Rama_ref`) and Janin reference data
(:data:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.data.filenames.Janin_ref`) were made using data
obtained from a large selection of 500 PDB files, and were analyzed using these
classes :footcite:p:`Mull2018`. The allowed and marginally allowed regions of the
Ramachandran reference plot have cutoffs set to include 90% and 99% of the data
points, and the Janin reference plot has cutoffs for 90% and 98% of the data
points. The list of PDB files used for the reference plots was taken from
:footcite:p:`Lovell2003` and information about general Janin regions was taken from
:footcite:p:`Janin1978`.

r"""Calculate :math:`\phi` and :math:`\psi` dihedral angles of selected

:math:`\phi` and :math:`\psi` angles will be calculated for each residue
corresponding to `atomgroup` for each time step in the trajectory. A
:class:`~MDAnalysis.ResidueGroup` is generated from `atomgroup` which is
compared to the protein to determine if it is a legitimate selection.
Parameters
----------
atomgroup : AtomGroup or ResidueGroup
atoms for residues for which :math:`\phi` and :math:`\psi` are
calculated
c_name : str (optional)
name for the backbone C atom
n_name : str (optional)
name for the backbone N atom
ca_name : str (optional)
name for the alpha-carbon atom
check_protein : bool (optional)
whether to raise an error if the provided atomgroup is not a
subset of protein atoms
Example
-------
For standard proteins, the default arguments will suffice to run a
Ramachandran analysis::
r = Ramachandran(u.select_atoms('protein')).run()
For proteins with non-standard residues, or for calculating dihedral
angles for other linear polymers, you can switch off the protein checking
and provide your own atom names in place of the typical peptide backbone
atoms::
r = Ramachandran(u.atoms, c_name='CX', n_name='NT', ca_name='S',
check_protein=False).run()
The above analysis will calculate angles from a "phi" selection of
CX'-NT-S-CX and "psi" selections of NT-S-CX-NT'.
Raises
------
ValueError
If the selection of residues is not contained within the protein
and ``check_protein`` is ``True``
Note
----
If ``check_protein`` is ``True`` and the residue selection is beyond
the scope of the protein and, then an error will be raised.
If the residue selection includes the first or last residue,
then a warning will be raised and they will be removed from the list of
residues, but the analysis will still run. If a :math:`\phi` or :math:`\psi`
selection cannot be made, that residue will be removed from the analysis.
