write.pir: Write PIR Formated Sequences

Description

Write aligned or un-aligned sequences to a PIR format file.

Usage

write.pir(alignment=NULL, ids=NULL, seqs=alignment$ali, 
   pdb.file = NULL, chain.first = NULL, resno.first = NULL,
   chain.last = NULL, resno.last = NULL, file, append = FALSE)

Arguments

alignment

an alignment list object with id and ali components, similar to that generated by read.fasta.

ids

a vector of sequence names to serve as sequence identifers

seqs

an sequence or alignment character matrix or vector with a row per sequence

pdb.file

a vector of pdb filenames; For sequence, provide "".

chain.first

a vector of chain id for the first residue.

resno.first

a vector of residue number for the first residue.

chain.last

a vector of chain id for the last residue.

resno.last

a vector of residue number for the last residue.

file

name of output file.

append

logical, if TRUE output will be appended to file; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of file.

Value

Called for its effect.

# NOT RUN {
# Needs MUSCLE installed - testing excluded

if(check.utility("muscle")) {

## Generate an input file for structural modeling of 
## transducin G-alpha subunit using the template 3SN6_A

## Read transducin alpha subunit sequence
seq <- get.seq("P04695", db = "uniprot", outfile = tempfile())

## Read structure template
path = tempdir()
pdb.file <- get.pdb("3sn6_A", path = path, split = TRUE)
pdb <- read.pdb(pdb.file)

## Build an alignment between template and target
aln <- seqaln(seqbind(pdbseq(pdb), seq), id = c("3sn6_A", seq$id), outfile = tempfile())

## Write PIR format alignment file
outfile = file.path(tempdir(), "eg.pir")
write.pir(aln, pdb.file = c(pdb.file, ""), file = outfile)
