Bio.Crystal package

Module contents

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

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

Bio.Crystal.Hetero substitute is Bio.PDB.Atom Bio.Crystal.Chain substitute is Bio.PDB.Chain Bio.Crystal.Crystal substitute is Bio.PDB.Structure

Using Bio.PDB you can navigate the data as below:

from Bio.PDB.PDBParser import PDBParser
parser = PDBParser(PERMISSIVE=1)
# PDB NDB Only file
structure = parser.get_structure("001", "001_msd.pbd")
for model in structure:
    print('Model ',model)
    for chain in model:
        print('Chain ', chain)
        for residue in chain:
            print('Res ', residue)
            for atom in residue:
                print('Atom ', atom)

Bio.Crystal is self-contained, with the main functionality covered by Bio.PDB.

exception Bio.Crystal.CrystalError

Bases: Exception

Class to manage errors.

Bio.Crystal.wrap_line(line)
