  • Enum Constant Details

    • EQUIVALENT

      public static final QsRelation EQUIVALENT
      All the Subunits of one Structure have an equivalent in the other Structure.

      An example of this relation is comparing an A2B2 complex with C2 symmetry against a similar A2B2 complex with the same C2 symmetry axis (same topology).

    • PARTIAL_COMPLETE

      public static final QsRelation PARTIAL_COMPLETE
      All the Subunits of one Structure have an equivalent in the other Structure, but the other Structure contains additional non-matched Subunits.

      An example of this relation is comparing an A2B2 complex with C2 symmetry against a similar A2 complex with the same C2 symmetry axis. Another example is comparing an A4 complex with D2 symmetry against an A2 complex with the same C2 symmetry axis as one of the D2 axes.

    • PARTIAL_INCOMPLETE

      public static final QsRelation PARTIAL_INCOMPLETE
      Only a subset of Subunits of one Structure have an equivalent in the other Structure, and the other Structure also contains additional non-matched Subunits.

      An example of this relation is comparing an A2B2 complex with C2 symmetry against an A2C2 complex, where As are similar but B and C differ, with the same C2 symmetry axis. Only the A2 part of the structure matches.

    • DIFFERENT

      public static final QsRelation DIFFERENT
      None of the Subunits of one Structure have an equivalent in the other Structure.

      Two quaternary structures are different if they are not EQUIVALENT, PARTIAL_COMPLETE or PARTIAL_INCOMPLETE.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static QsRelation[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
    • valueOf

      public static QsRelation valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
