Bio.Crystal package

Module contents

Represent the NDB Atlas structure (a minimal subset of PDB format).

Hetero, Crystal and Chain exist to represent the NDB Atlas structure. Atlas is a minimal subset of the PDB format. Heteo supports a 3 alphameric code. The NDB web interface is located at http://ndbserver.rutgers.edu

exception Bio.Crystal.CrystalError

Bases: Exception

Class to manage errors.

Bio.Crystal.wrap_line(line)

Add end of line at character eighty, to match PDB record standard.

Bio.Crystal.validate_key(key)

Check if key is a string and has at least one character.

class Bio.Crystal.Hetero(data)

Bases: object

Class to support the PDB hetero codes.

Supports only the 3 alphanumeric code. The annotation is available from http://xray.bmc.uu.se/hicup/
