pdb.quaternary: Protein Subunit Composition

Description

Determines the subunit composition of a given protein.

Usage

pdb.quaternary(pdb, keepfiles = FALSE)

Arguments

pdb

the path to the PDB of interest or a 4-letter identifier.

keepfiles

logical, if TRUE the fasta file containing the alignment of the subunits is saved in the current directory, as well as the split pdb files.

Value

This function returns a list with four elements: (i) a distances matrix, (ii) the sequences, (iii) chains id, (iv) the PDB ID used.

Details

A fasta file containing the alignment among the subunit sequences can be saved in the current directory if required.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pdb.quaternary('1bpl')
# }
