contact_map(trajectory, frame_number, residue_query_atom_idxs, residue_ignore_atom_idxs)

Returns atom and residue contact maps for the given frame.

Parameters:

• frame (mdtraj.Trajectory) – the desired frame (uses the first frame in this trajectory)
• residue_query_atom_idxs (dict) –
• residue_ignore_atom_idxs (dict) –

Returns:

• atom_contacts (collections.Counter)
• residue_contact (collections.Counter)

cutoff

float – cutoff distance for contacts, in nanometers

from_dict(dct)

Parameters:dct (dict) – dict-formatted serialization (see to_dict for details)

to_json()

haystack

list of int – indices of atoms to include as haystack

most_common_atoms_for_contact(contact_pair)

Most common atom contacts for a given residue contact pair

Parameters:contact_pair (length 2 list of Residue or int) – the residue contact pair for which the most common atom contact pairs will be calculated Returns:Atom contact pairs for the residue contact pair, in order of frequency. Referring to the list as l, each element of the list l[e] consists of two parts: l[e][0] is a list containing the two MDTraj Atom objects that make up the contact, and l[e][1] is the measure of how often the contact occurs. Return type:list

most_common_atoms_for_residue(residue)

Most common atom contact pairs for contacts with the given residue

Parameters:residue (Residue or int) – the Residue object or index representing the residue for which the most common atom contact pairs will be calculated Returns:Atom contact pairs involving given residue, order of frequency. Referring to the list as l, each element of the list l[e] consists of two parts: l[e][0] is a list containing the two MDTraj Atom objects that make up the contact, and l[e][1] is the measure of how often the contact occurs. Return type:list

n_neighbors_ignored

int – number of neighbor residues (in same chain) to ignore

query

list of int – indices of atoms to include as query

residue_ignore_atom_idxs

dict – maps query residue index to atom indices to ignore

residue_query_atom_idxs

dict – maps query residue index to atom indices in query

save_to_file(filename, mode='w')

Save this object to the given file.

Parameters:

• filename (string) – the file to write to
• mode ('w' or 'a') – file writing mode. Use ‘w’ to overwrite, ‘a’ to append. Note that writing by bytes (‘b’ flag) is automatically added.

from_file()

load from generated file

to_dict()

Convert object to a dict.

Keys should be strings; values should be (JSON-) serializable.

to_json()

JSON-serialized version of this object.

topology

mdtraj.Topology – topology object for this system

The topology includes information about the atoms, how they are grouped into residues, and how the residues are grouped into chains.
