OERotamer

struct OERotamer

This class represents an OERotamer, an abstraction of a frequently observed conformation of an amino-acid side-chain. Statistical surveys of side-chain conformations for well-curated sets of protein structures reveal that almost all can be assigned to a limited number of clusters. The mean, or more usefully the mode, of each cluster’s dihedral angles can be used to represent the cluster as a whole. Collections of these dihedral angles, along with the observed probability of the associated cluster is known as a rotamer library.

  • OESetRotamer function that returns an OERotamer iterator over each rotamer for a given amino-acid in a specific rotamer library

  • OEGetRotamers function that takes an OERotamer as an argument and modifies the 3-dimensional structure of a particular amino-acid side-chain so that the dihedral angles are that of the rotamer.

Note

If a specific side-chain dihedral angle does not exist in the given residue, the above GetChiN e.g. OERotamer.GetChi1 methods return -100.0.
