        Fragment

Known Subclasses:
Residue

Fragment objects are a basic unit for organizing small groups of Atoms. Amino acid residues are fragments, as well as nucleic acids and other small molecules. In terms of a PDB file, they are all the atoms from a unique residue in a chain. Fragments have the following attributes:

Fragment.res_name - the fragment/residue name Fragment.res_seq - the sequence id of the fragment/residue Fragment.chain_id - the ID of the chain containing this fragment

Method Details

__contains__(self, atom_idx)
(In operator)

Return True if the Atom object is contained in the fragment.

__getitem__(self, name_idx)
(Indexing operator)

Lookup a atom contained in a fragment by its name, or by its index within the fragment's private atom_list. If the atom is not found, a exception is raised. The type of exception depends on the argument type. If the argument was a integer, then a IndexError is raised. If the argument was a string, then a KeyError is raised.

__iter__(self)

Iterates the atoms within the fragment. If the fragment contains atoms in alternate conformations, only the atoms with the structure's default_alt_loc are iterated.

add_atom(self, atom)

Adds a atom to the fragment, and sets the atom's atom.fragment attribute to the fragment.

count_all_atoms(self)

Counts all Atom objects including Atoms in alternate conformations.

count_atoms(self)

Counts Atom objects.

create_bonds(self)

Contructs bonds within a fragment. Bond definitions are retrieved from the monomer library.

get_atom(self, name, alt_loc=None)

Returns the matching Atom instance contained in the Fragment. Returns None if a match is not found. If alt_loc is not given, then the default alt_loc is used.

get_chain(self)

Returns the parent Chain object.

get_equivalent_atom(self, atom)

Returns the atom with the same fragment_id and name as the argument atom, or None if it is not found.

get_model(self)

Returns the parent Chain object.

get_offset_fragment(self, offset)

Returns the fragment in the same chain at integer offset from self. Returns None if no fragment is found.

get_structure(self)

Returns the parent Structure object.

index(self, atom)

Returns the sequential index of the atom.

is_amino_acid(self)

Returns True if the Fragment is a Amino Acid residue.

is_nucleic_acid(self)

Returns True if the Fragment is a Nucleic Acid residue.

is_standard_residue(self)

Returns True if the Fragment/Residue object is one of the PDB defined standard residues. PDB standard residues are amino and nucleic acid residues.

is_water(self)

Returns True if the Fragment is a water molecule, returns False otherwise.

iter_all_atoms(self)

Iterates of all Atoms in the Fragment includeing Altlocs.

iter_atoms(self)

Iterates over all Atom objects contained in the Fragment matching the current model and default alt_loc.

iter_bonds(self)

Iterates over all Bond objects. The iteration is preformed by iterating over all Atom objects in the same order as iter_atoms(), then iterating over each Atom's Bond objects.

remove_atom(self, atom)

Removes the Atom instance from the Fragment.

set_chain_id(self, chain_id)

Sets the chain_id of the Fragment and all contained Atom objects.

set_default_alt_loc(self, alt_loc)

Sets the default alt_loc of the Fragment.

set_fragment_id(self, fragment_id)

Sets the fragment_id of the Fragment and all contained Atom objects.

set_model_id(self, model_id)

Sets the model_id of the Fragment and all contained Atom objects.

set_res_name(self, res_name)

Sets the res_name of the Fragment and all contained Atom objects.
