pdbaln: Sequence Alignment of PDB Files

Description

Create multiple sequences alignments from a list of PDB files returning aligned sequence and structure records.

Usage

pdbaln(files, fit = FALSE, pqr = FALSE, ncore = 1, nseg.scale = 1,  ...)

Arguments

files

a character vector of PDB file names.

fit

logical, if TRUE coordinate superposition is performed on the input structures.

pqr

logical, if TRUE the input structures are assumed to be in PQR format.

ncore

number of CPU cores used to do the calculation. ncore>1 requires package parallel installed.

nseg.scale

split input data into specified number of segments prior to running multiple core calculation. See fit.xyz.

...

extra arguments passed to seqaln function.

Value

• Returns a list of class "pdbs" with the following five components:
• xyz
  numeric matrix of aligned C-alpha coordinates.
• resno
  character matrix of aligned residue numbers.
• b
  numeric matrix of aligned B-factor values.
• chain
  character matrix of aligned chain identifiers.
• id
  character vector of PDB sequence/structure names.
• ali
  character matrix of aligned sequences.
• call
  the matched call.

Details

This wrapper function calls the underlying functions read.pdb, pdbseq, seqaln and read.fasta.pdb returning a list of class "pdbs" similar to that returned by read.fasta.pdb.

As these steps are often error prone it is recomended for most cases that the individual underlying functions are called in sequence with checks made on the valadity of their respective outputs to ensure sensible results.
