threed-strudel 0.9

Strudel package

threed_strudel

threed_strudel is a set of tools for cryo-EM maps data mining and motif based map-model validation.

Requirements

biopython, mrcfile, mpi4py, psutil, scipy, ChimeraX

Instalation

pip install threed-strudel

Set ChimeraX path

strudel_setChimeraX.py path_to_chimeraX_executable 

Usage

Chop an atomic model and the corresponding EM map into amino acid residues:

strudel_chopModelMapMPI.py [options]

Classify amino acid residues into rotamer classes based on the Penultimate rotamer library (JS Richardson and DC Richardson (2000) "The Penultimate Rotamer Library" Proteins: Structure Function and Genetics 40: 389-408.)

strudel_penultimateClassifier.py [options]

Superimpose and average amino acid residues maps using atom models as guide (requires rotamer classes generated by strudel_penultimateClassifier.py).

 strudel_mapAveraging.py [options]

Strudel score calculation. EM map-model validation based on strudel motif libraries. Requires strudel map-motif libraries (http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/emdb_vault/strudel_libs/). The results can be visualised using the Strudel Score plugin for ChimeraX (https://cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu/apps/chimeraxstrudelscore).

strudel_mapMotifValidation.py [options]
