A Python Package for Protein Dynamics Analysis
Project description
TUTORIAL, EXAMPLES, and DOCUMENTATION
SYNOPSIS
ProDy is a free and open-source Python package for analyzing protein structural dynamics. It allows for quantitative analysis of heterogeneous experimental structural datasets and comparison with theoretically predicted conformational dynamics. It is designed and developed by Ahmet Bakan in Bahar lab at the University of Pittsburgh.
The following are some of the main features:
Examination and analysis of structural variability observed in experiments:
Fast and flexible parsing of PDB and DCD files
Powerful atom selections and contact identification
Matching, superposing, and comparing multiple structures/chains
PCA of X-ray structures, NMR models and mixed structural datasets from Blast search
Prediction and analysis of protein dynamics using theory and simulation:
Normal Mode Analysis using the Anisotropic network model (ANM)
Gaussian network model (GNM) analysis
Distance and property dependent force constant functions
Essential dynamics analysis (EDA) of MD snapshots
Comparative analysis and visualization of dynamics
