Atom Map

This module defines AtomMap class that allows for pointing atoms in arbitrary order.

How AtomMap’s work

AtomMap class adds great flexibility to manipulating atomic data.

First let’s see how an instance of Selection (Chain, or Residue) works. Below table shows indices for a selection of atoms in an AtomGroup and values returned when getNames(), getResnames() and getResnums() methods are called.

Atom Subset
Indices Names Resnames Resnums
0 N PHE 1
1 CA PHE 1
2 C PHE 1
3 O PHE 1
4 CB PHE 1
5 CG PHE 1
6 CD1 PHE 1
7 CD2 PHE 1
8 CE1 PHE 1
9 CE2 PHE 1
10 CZ PHE 1

Selection instances keep indices ordered and do not allow duplicate values, hence their use is limited. In an AtomMap, indices do not need to be sorted, duplicate indices may exist, even “DUMMY” atoms are allowed.

Let’s say we instantiate the following AtomMap:

amap = AtomMap(atomgroup, indices=[0, 1, 3, 8, 8, 9, 10],
               mapping=[5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 3])

The size of the AtomMap based on this mapping is 8, since the larger mapping is 7.

Calling the same functions for this AtomMap instance would result in the following:

Atom Map
Mapping Indices Names Resnames Resnums MappedFlags DummyFlags
0 8 CE1 PHE 1 1 0
1 8 CE1 PHE 1 1 0
2 9 CE2 PHE 1 1 0
3 10 CZ PHE 1 1 0
4       0 0 1
5 0 N PHE 1 1 0
6 1 CA PHE 1 1 0
7 3 O PHE 1 1 0

For unmapped atoms, numeric attributes are set to 0, others to empty string, i.e. "".

AtomMap are used by proteins module functions that match or map protein chains. Heterogeneous X-ray Structures and Multimeric Structures examples that make use of these functions and AtomMap class.

class AtomMap(ag, indices, acsi=None, **kwargs)[source]

A class for mapping atomic data.

Instantiate an atom map.

Parameters:
  • ag – AtomGroup instance from which atoms are mapped
  • indices – indices of mapped atoms
  • acsi – active coordinate set index, defaults is that of ag
  • mapping – mapping of atom indices
  • dummies – dummy atom indices
  • title – title of the instance, default is ‘Unknown’

mapping and dummies arrays must be provided together. Length of mapping must be equal to length of indices. Elements of mapping must be an ordered in ascending order. When dummy atoms are present, number of atoms is the sum of lengths of mapping and dummies.

Following built-in functions are customized for this class:

  • len() returns the number of atoms in the instance.
  • iter() yields Atom instances.
  • Indexing returns an Atom or an AtomMap instance depending on the type and value of the index.
copy()

Return a copy of atoms (and atomic data) in an AtomGroup instance.

getACSIndex()

Return index of the coordinate set.

getACSLabel()

Return active coordinate set label.

getCharges()

Return a copy of partial charges. Entries for dummy atoms will be 0.0.

getChids()

Return a copy of chain identifiers. Entries for dummy atoms will be ''.

getChindices()

Return a copy of chain indices. Chain indices are assigned to subsets of atoms with distinct pairs of chain identifier and segment name. Chain indices start from zero, are incremented by one, and are assigned in the order of appearance in AtomGroup instance. Entries for dummy atoms will be 0.

getCoords()[source]

Return a copy of coordinates from the active coordinate set.

getCoordsets(indices=None)[source]

Return coordinate set(s) at given indices, which may be an integer or a list/array of integers.

getData(label)[source]

Return a copy of data associated with label, if it is present.

getDataLabels(which=None)

Return data labels. For which='user', return only labels of user provided data.

Return a copy of element symbols. Entries for dummy atoms will be ''.

getFlagLabels(which=None)

getFlags(label)[source]

Return a copy of atom flags for given label, or None when flags for label is not set.

getFragindices()

Return a copy of fragment indices. Fragment indices are assigned to connected subsets of atoms. Bonds needs to be set using AtomGroup.setBonds() method.
