org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.Subunit

public class Subunit
extends Object

A Subunit consists of a set of residues from a Structure, which may correspond to an entire Chain, a Domain, or any subset or combination of residues from them. All the residues of a Subunit are of the same type.

The Subunit object can contain additional fields for identification and annotation.

Constructor Details

Subunit

public Subunit(Atom[] reprAtoms,
 String name,
 StructureIdentifier identifier,
 Structure structure)

A Subunit is solely defined by the coordinates of the representative Atoms of its residues. It can be identified with a StructureIdentifier and/or a name and stores a reference to the Structure from which the Atoms were obtained.

Parameters:

reprAtoms - representative Atoms. It cannot be null or empty

name - String field that identifies the Subunit. It can be null

identifier - StructureIdentifier. It can be null

structure - parent Structure object. It can be null

Method Details

getRepresentativeAtoms

public Atom[] getRepresentativeAtoms()

Get all the representative Atoms of the Subunit. These Atoms are used for clustering and displaying the Subunit.

Returns:

representative Atom[]

size

public int size()

The size of a Subunit is the number of residues it contains.

Returns:

the size of the Subunit

getProteinSequenceString

public String getProteinSequenceString()

Get the protein sequence of the Subunit as String.

Returns:

protein sequence String

getProteinSequence

public ProteinSequence getProteinSequence()
                                   throws CompoundNotFoundException

Get the protein sequence of the Subunit.

Returns:

sequence ProteinSequence

Throws:

CompoundNotFoundException

getName

public String getName()

The Name of a Subunit is a free-text field, user defined.

Returns:

the Subunit name

setName

public void setName(String name)

The Name of a Subunit is a free-text field, user defined.

Parameters:

name - of the Subunit

getStructure

public Structure getStructure()

The parent Structure from which the Subunit atoms were obtained.

Returns:

Structure object

getIdentifier

public StructureIdentifier getIdentifier()

The standard identifier of the Subunit.

Returns:

StructureIdentifier object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
