Class URLIdentifier

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.nbio.structure.URLIdentifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

StructureIdentifier

public class URLIdentifier
extends Object
implements StructureIdentifier

Represents a structure loaded from a URL (including a file URL) A few custom query parameters are supported:

• format=[pdb|cif] Specify the file format (will otherwise be guessed from the extension)
• pdbId=[String] Specify the PDB ID (also guessed from the filename)
• chainID=[String] A single chain from the structure
• residues=[String] Residue ranges, in a form understood by SubstructureIdentifier

URLIdentifier

public URLIdentifier(String url)
              throws MalformedURLException

Throws:

MalformedURLException

Method Detail

getURL

public URL getURL()

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

See Also:

StructureTools.getReducedStructure(Structure, String)

loadStructure

public Structure loadStructure(AtomCache cache)
                        throws StructureException,
                               IOException

Load the structure from the URL

Specified by:

loadStructure in interface StructureIdentifier

Returns:

null

Throws:

StructureException - For errors loading and parsing the structure

IOException - Errors reading the structure from disk

guessPDBID

public static String guessPDBID(String name)

Recognizes PDB IDs that occur at the beginning of name followed by some delimiter.

Parameters:

name - Input filename

Returns:

A 4-character id-like string, or null if none is found
