prospr 0.1a5

A toolbox for protein folding with Python.

ProSPr

The Protein Structure Prediction Toolbox

Author: Okke van Eck
Live version: 0.1a5
Develop version: 0.1a5

This project is an universal toolbox for protein structure prediction within the HP-model. It will contain a datastructure for creating own algorithms, pre-created algorithms, datasets and visualization functions. Besides folding proteins, this package will also make it possible to determine the relative hardness of a protein for an algorithm. This allows for a fair comparison across the different algorithms.

So far, only square lattices are supported in n-dimensions. The amino acids can only be placed in the corners of the squares and have to be one unit away from the previously placed amino acid.

Installation guide

This package can simply be installed via pip by running:

pip install prospr

Example usage

Work in progress

Future work

This toolbox could be used for other protein folding problems within discrete models. It would be a great extension to support different models by creating a modular amino acid.
