OEResidue

class OEResidue

The OEResidue class is used to attach biopolymer information to each OEAtomBase object. This class contains a number of fields specific to processing macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. Each atom may be annotated with a unique OEResidue, hence OEResidue objects are not shared between different atoms. If the fields of an OEResidue associated with a single atom are updated, only that atom is affected. To adapt to the change for mmCIF where a chainID can now contain multiple characters, the chainID is now stored as an string. The existing GetChainID() function will return just the first character of the chain ID. We encourage users to switch to use GetExtChainID() which will return the string.

GetChainID

char GetChainID() const

This method is deprecated and should no longer be used. Instead, use OEResidue.GetExtChainID. Returns the first character of the ‘chain identifier’ property of the residue. The ‘chain identifier’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetExtChainID method.

GetExtChainID

string GetExtChainID() const

Returns the ‘chain identifier’ property of the residue. The ‘chain identifier’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetExtChainID method. If reading from mmCIF, this property is auth_asym_id field from the mmCIF spec.

GetSubChainID

string GetSubChainID() const

Returns the ‘subchain identifier’ property of the residue. The ‘subchain identifier’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetSubChainID method. When reading from PDB, this is default to a space character. When reading from mmCIF, these are now a further subdivision of the chain identifier based on connected components. If reading from mmCIF, this property is label_asym_id field from the mmCIF spec.

GetFragmentNumber

int GetFragmentNumber() const

Returns the ‘fragment number’ property of a residue. Fragment numbers are integer indices that define connected components of a macromolecule. When reading from a PDB file, the first atom is placed in fragment number 1. Each time a TER, END or ENDM record is encountered within a single connection table, the fragment number is incremented. Similarly, when writing a PDB file, a TER record is written between any consecutive pair of atoms with different fragment numbers. The fragment number property may be set using the OEResidue.SetFragmentNumber number property.

GetInsertCode

char GetInsertCode() const

Returns the ‘insertion code’ of a residue. Insertion codes are single character suffixes used to distinguish insertions when using a standardized residue numbering system. By default, this property contains a single space character, ' '. The insertion code property of a residue may be set using the OEResidue.SetInsertCode method.

GetModelNumber

int GetModelNumber() const

Returns the ‘model number’ property of a residue. For NMR or molecular dynamics files, the model number contains the index of the NMR model or dynamics time-step within a file. When reading from mmCIF, the model numbers start from 1. The ‘model number’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetModelNumber method.

GetEntityID

string GetEntityID() const

int GetSequenceID() const

Returns the ‘sequence id’ property of a residue, if set by reading an mmCIF file. The ‘sequence id’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetSequenceID method. The number of typically sequential starting from 1, contrary to the ‘residue number’ which typically follows the biological sequence numbering. If reading from mmCIF, this property is label_seq_id field from the mmCIF spec.

GetSecondaryStructure

int GetSecondaryStructure() const

Returns the protein ‘secondary structure’ property of a residue. The default value is zero. The ‘secondary structure’ property of a residue may be set using the OEResidue.SetSecondaryStructure method.

GetSerialNumber

int GetSerialNumber() const

Returns the ‘atom serial number’ property of an atom in a residue. The ‘atom serial number’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetSerialNumber method.

IsHetAtom

bool IsHetAtom() const

Returns the ‘hetero atom’ property of an atom in a residue. The ‘hetero atom’ property may be set using the OEResidue.SetHetAtom method.

Note

A ‘hetero atom’ is distinguished from a ‘standard atom’ in a PDB file by using the record type HETATM rather than ATOM.

SetAlternateLocation

bool SetAlternateLocation(char v)

Sets the ‘alternate location’ property of an atom in a residue. The default value is a space character. The ‘alternate location’ property of an atom in a residue may be retrieved using the OEResidue.GetAlternateLocation method.
