pca.pdbs: Principal Component Analysis

Description

Performs principal components analysis (PCA) on an ensemble of PDB structures.

Usage

# S3 method for pdbs
pca(pdbs, core.find = FALSE, fit = FALSE, ...)

Value

Returns a list with the following components:

L

eigenvalues.

U

eigenvectors (i.e. the variable loadings).

z.u

scores of the supplied data on the pcs.

sdev

the standard deviations of the pcs.

mean

the means that were subtracted.

Arguments

pdbs

an object of class pdbs as obtained from function pdbaln or read.fasta.pdb.

core.find

logical, if TRUE core.find() function will be called to find core positions and coordinates of PDB structures will be fitted based on cores.

fit

logical, if TRUE coordinates of PDB structures will be fitted based on all CA atoms.

...

additional arguments passed to the method pca.xyz.

#-- Do PCA ignoring gap containing positions
pc.xray <- pca(pdbs)

# Plot results (conformer plots & scree plot)
plot(pc.xray, col=annotation[, "color"])
