public PassthroughIdentifier(String identifier)

Method Details

getIdentifier

public String getIdentifier()

Description copied from interface: StructureIdentifier

Get the String form of this identifier. It is recommended that the toString() method also return the identifier, for consistency during serialization.

Specified by:

getIdentifier in interface StructureIdentifier

Returns:

The String form of this identifier

toCanonical

public SubstructureIdentifier toCanonical()

Description copied from interface: StructureIdentifier

Convert to a canonical SubstructureIdentifier.

This allows all domains to be converted to a standard format String.

Specified by:

toCanonical in interface StructureIdentifier

Returns:

A SubstructureIdentifier without ranges (e.g. including all residues)

reduce

public Structure reduce(Structure input)
                 throws StructureException

Description copied from interface: StructureIdentifier

Takes a complete structure as input and reduces it to the substructure represented by this StructureIdentifier.

The returned structure may be a shallow copy of the input, with shared Chains, Residues, etc.

Specified by:

reduce in interface StructureIdentifier

Parameters:

input - A full structure, e.g. as loaded from the PDB. The structure ID should match that returned by getPdbId(), if applicable.

Returns:

Throws:

StructureException

loadStructure

public Structure loadStructure(AtomCache cache)
                        throws StructureException,
IOException

Passthrough identifiers don't know how to load a structure

Specified by:

loadStructure in interface StructureIdentifier

Parameters:

cache - A potential sources of structures

Returns:

null

Throws:

StructureException - For errors loading and parsing the structure

IOException - Errors reading the structure from disk
