OEFastaToMol

OEFastaToMol(mol: Union[OEGraphMol,OEMol,OEQMol], str: str) -> bool

Converts a FASTA sequence into a molecule.

The following code demonstrates how to create a molecule from a FASTA sequence using the OEFastaToMol function and prints out the number of alpha carbon atoms in the molecule.

mol = oechem.OEGraphMol()

fastastr = "AVILMPTWSTNQCGPRHKDE"
oechem.OEFastaToMol(mol, fastastr)
print("{} has {} C-alpha atoms".format(fastastr, oechem.OECount(mol, oechem.OEIsCAlpha())))
