Class TertiaryBasePairParameters

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.nbio.structure.basepairs.BasePairParameters

org.biojava.nbio.structure.basepairs.TertiaryBasePairParameters

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class TertiaryBasePairParameters
extends BasePairParameters

This class also finds the base pairing and base-pair step parameters but has a broader definition of a base pair so that non-canonical-WC base pairs will be detected and reported. This is useful for RNA that has folded into different regions, and for higher-order DNA structures. Intra-strand pairings are considered in this class (but in not the base class or MismatchedBasePairParameters class)

Since:

5.0.0

Method Detail

findPairs

public List<Pair<Group>> findPairs(List<Chain> chains)

This is an alternative implementation of findPair() that looks for anything that would fit the criteria for a base-pair, useful for the context of tertiary structure of RNA. Intra-strand base pairs are found with this algorithm.

Overrides:

findPairs in class BasePairParameters

Parameters:

chains - The list of chains already found to be nucleic acids

Returns:

A list of the Pair of groups that match the base pair criteria, including intra-strand groups.

getMaxStagger

public double getMaxStagger()

This method returns the maximum stagger between bases used as criteria for the characterization of two bases as being paired.

Returns:

the maximum stagger (in Å) allowed.

setMaxStagger

public void setMaxStagger(double maxStagger)

This method sets the maximum stagger allowed for a base pair, prior to analyze() call

Parameters:

maxStagger - The maximum stagger (in Å) allowed to consider two bases paired

getMaxPropeller

public double getMaxPropeller()

This method returns the maximum propeller twist between bases used as criteria for the characterization of two bases as being paired.

Returns:

the maximum propeller ("propeller-twist", in degrees) allowed.

setMaxPropeller

public void setMaxPropeller(double maxPropeller)

This method sets the maximum propeller allowed for a base pair, prior to analyze() call

Parameters:

maxPropeller - The maximum propeller ("propeller-twist", in degrees) allowed to consider two bases paired
