A complete Protein Data Bank (PDB) file parser

Project description

Pidibble - a complete PDB parser

Pidibble is a Python package for parsing standard Protein Data Bank (PDB) files. It conforms to the most recent standard (v.3.3 Atomic Coordinate Entry Format, ca. 2011).

Unlike parsers like that found in packages like BioPython, pidibble provides meaningfully parsed objects from all standard PDB record types, not just ATOMs and CONECTs.

Once installed, the user has access to the PDBParser class in the pidibble.pdbparser module.

Example interactive usage

>>> from pidibble.pdbparse import PDBParser
>>> p=PDBParser(PDBcode='4zmj').parse()
>>> print (p.parsed['HEADER'].classification)
VIRAL PROTEIN
>>> print (p.parsed['HEADER'].depDate)
04-MAY-15
>>> print (p.parsed['HEADER'].idCode)
4ZMJ
>>> keys=list(sorted(list(p.parsed.keys())))
>>> print(keys)
