pdbseq: Extract The Aminoacid Sequence From A PDB Object

Description

Return a vector of the one-letter IUPAC or three-letter PDB style aminoacid codes from a given PDB object.

Usage

pdbseq(pdb, inds = NULL, aa1 = TRUE)

Arguments

pdb

a PDB structure object obtained from read.pdb.

inds

a list object of ATOM and XYZ indices as obtained from atom.select.

aa1

logical, if TRUE then the one-letter IUPAC sequence is returned. IF FALSE then the three-letter PDB style sequence is returned.

Value

A character vector of aminoacid codes.

Details

See the examples below and the functions atom.select and aa321 for further details.
