Class SubunitCluster

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.SubunitCluster

public class SubunitCluster
extends Object

A SubunitCluster contains a set of equivalent QuatSymmetrySubunits, the set of equivalent residues (EQR) between Subunit and a Subunit representative. It also stores the method used for clustering.

This class allows the comparison and merging of SubunitClusters.

Constructor Detail

SubunitCluster

public SubunitCluster(Subunit subunit)

A constructor from a single Subunit. To obtain a SubunitCluster with multiple Subunits, initialize different SubunitClusters and merge them.

Parameters:

subunit - initial Subunit

SubunitCluster

public SubunitCluster(SubunitCluster other,
                      List<Integer> subunitsToRetain)

A copy constructor with the possibility of removing subunits. No re-clustering is done.

Parameters:

other - reference SubunitCluster

subunitsToRetain - which subunits to copy to this cluster

Method Detail

getAlpha

public String getAlpha()

A letter that is assigned to this cluster in stoichiometry.

Returns:

alpha String

setAlpha

public void setAlpha(String alpha)

A letter that is assigned to this cluster in stoichiometry.

Parameters:

alpha - String

getSubunits

public List<Subunit> getSubunits()

Subunits contained in the SubunitCluster.

Returns:

an unmodifiable view of the original List

isIdenticalTo

public boolean isIdenticalTo(SubunitCluster other)

Tells whether the other SubunitCluster contains exactly the same Subunit. This is checked by String equality of their residue one-letter sequences.

Parameters:

other - SubunitCluster

Returns:

true if the SubunitClusters are identical, false otherwise

mergeIdentical

public boolean mergeIdentical(SubunitCluster other)

Merges the other SubunitCluster into this one if it contains exactly the same Subunit. This is checked by isIdenticalTo(SubunitCluster).

Parameters:

other - SubunitCluster

Returns:

true if the SubunitClusters were merged, false otherwise

mergeSequence

public boolean mergeSequence(SubunitCluster other,
                             SubunitClustererParameters params)
                      throws CompoundNotFoundException

Merges the other SubunitCluster into this one if their representatives sequences are similar (according to the criteria in params).

The sequence alignment is performed using linear SimpleGapPenalty and BLOSUM62 as scoring matrix.

Parameters:

other - SubunitCluster

params - SubunitClustererParameters, with information whether to use local or global alignment, sequence identity and coverage thresholds. Threshold values lower than 0.7 are not recommended. Use mergeStructure(org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.SubunitCluster, org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.SubunitClustererParameters) for lower values.

Returns:

true if the SubunitClusters were merged, false otherwise

Throws:

CompoundNotFoundException

mergeSequence

public boolean mergeSequence(SubunitCluster other,
                             SubunitClustererParameters params,
                             Alignments.PairwiseSequenceAlignerType alignerType,
                             GapPenalty gapPenalty,
                             SubstitutionMatrix<AminoAcidCompound> subsMatrix)
                      throws CompoundNotFoundException

Merges the other SubunitCluster into this one if their representatives sequences are similar (according to the criteria in params).

The sequence alignment is performed using linear SimpleGapPenalty and BLOSUM62 as scoring matrix.

Parameters:

other - SubunitCluster

params - SubunitClustererParameters, with information whether to use local or global alignment, sequence identity and coverage thresholds. Threshold values lower than 0.7 are not recommended. Use mergeStructure(org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.SubunitCluster, org.biojava.nbio.structure.cluster.SubunitClustererParameters) for lower values.

alignerType - parameter for the sequence alignment algorithm

gapPenalty - parameter for the sequence alignment algorithm

subsMatrix - parameter for the sequence alignment algorithm

Returns:

true if the SubunitClusters were merged, false otherwise

Throws:

CompoundNotFoundException

mergeStructure

                              SubunitClustererParameters params)
                       throws StructureException

Merges the other SubunitCluster into this one if their representative Atoms are structurally similar (according to the criteria in params).

Parameters:

other - SubunitCluster

params - SubunitClustererParameters, with information on what alignment algorithm to use, RMSD/TMScore and structure coverage thresholds.

Returns:

true if the SubunitClusters were merged, false otherwise

Returns:

true if the cluster was internally symmetric, false otherwise

Throws:

StructureException

size

Returns:

the number of Subunits in the cluster

length

public int length()

Returns:

the number of aligned residues between Subunits of the cluster

getClustererMethod

public SubunitClustererMethod getClustererMethod()

Returns:

the SubunitClustererMethod used for clustering the Subunits

getAlignedAtomsSubunits

public List<Atom[]> getAlignedAtomsSubunits()

Returns:

A List of size size() of Atom arrays of length length() with the aligned Atoms for each Subunit in the cluster

getAlignedAtomsSubunit

public Atom[] getAlignedAtomsSubunit(int index)

Parameters:

                                       throws StructureException

Throws:

StructureException

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

isPseudoStoichiometric

public boolean isPseudoStoichiometric()
