| + | [[cealign]] aligns two proteins using the CE algorithm. It is very robust for proteins with little to no sequence similarity (twilight zone). For proteins with decent structural similarity, the [[super]] command is preferred and with decent sequence similarity, the [[align]] command is preferred, because these commands are much faster than [[cealign]]. |
| | | | |
| − | This page is the home page of the open-source CEAlign PyMOL plugin. The CE algorithm is a fast and accurate protein structure alignment algorithm, pioneered by Drs. Shindyalov and Bourne (See | + | ''This command is new in PyMOL 1.3, see the [[cealign plugin]] for manual installation.'' |

| |
| | | | |
| − | == Introduction == | + | == Usage == |
| − | There are a few changes from the original CE publication (See Notes). The source code is implemented in C (and another in C++) with the rotations finally done by Numpy in Python (or C++ in version 0.9). Because the computationally complex portion of the code is written in C, it's quick. That is, on my machines --- relatively fast 64-bit machines --- I can align two 400+ amino acid structures in about 0.300 s with the C++ implementation.

| |
| | | | |
| − | PyMOL's structure alignment algorithm is fast and robust. However, its first step is to perform a sequence alignment of the two selections. Thus, proteins in the '''twilight zone''' or those having a low sequence identity, may not align well. Because CE is a structure-based alignment, this is not a problem. Consider the following example. The two images below demonstrate the difference superimposing [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1C0m 1C0M] chain B onto [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1BCO 1BCO]. The first image below shows the results from PyMol's `align` command: an alignment of '''221 atoms''' (not residues) to an RMSD of '''15.7 Angstroms'''. The second image is the result of CEAlign, which used alpha carbons of '''152 residues''' with an RMSD of '''4.96 Angstroms'''.
| + | '''Note''': The '''mobile''' and '''target''' arguments are swapped with respect to the [[align]] and [[super]] commands. |

| − | === Fit vs. optAlign === | + | == Example == |
| − | ====Take Home messages====
| |
| − | * [[fit]] and [[optAlign]] perform nearly equally as well
| |
| − | * if you need an algorithm with an appropriate reference, use [[optAlign]] (references at bottom of page).
| |
| − | * [[fit]] is faster -- if you're aligning many structures, use it over [[optAlign]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Discussion==== | + | <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> |
| − | [[optAlign]] is a function within the [[Cealign]] package that performs the optimal superposition of two objects of equal length. [[optAlign]] follows the Kabsch algorithm which is a closed form, and provably optimal solution to the problem. [[fit]] on the other hand uses the Jacobi rotations to iteratively arrive at the solution of optimal superposition. The difference in error between [[optAilgn]] and [[fit]] seems to be a non-issue (see below) as they both arrive at equivalent solutions for the rotation matrix. The two algorithms are undertake different approaches to orthogonally diagonalizing the correlation matrix.

| | + | as ribbon |
| | + | cealign 1bco, 1c0mB, object=aln |
| | + | </syntaxhighlight> |
| | | | |
| − | PyMOL's [[fit]] is fast and works well. If you have to use something with a known reference then check out the "optAlign" function from the qkabsch.py file that comes with this [[Cealign]] package. If not, you can just use [[fit]] and avoid installing new software. :-)
| + | == See Also == |
| | | | |
| − | optAlign is slower than fit. I just tested both on a sample NMR ensemble; and, while not an extensive validation of "fit" it shows that (1) fit is faster; and (2) fit gets the same exact RMSD as "optAlign" (when optAlign is told to use all atoms, not just CA). To make optAlign use all atoms and not just the alpha-carbon backbones, comment out (that is, put a "#" at the start of) lines 183 and 184 in qkabsch.py, where it says "CUT HERE."

| |
| − | === Usage ===
| |
| − | ==== Syntax ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | CEAlign has the semantic, and syntactic formalism of
| |
| − | <source lang="python">
| |
| − | cealign MASTER, TARGET
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | where a post-condition of the algorithm is that the coordinates of the '''MASTER''' protein are unchanged. This allows for easier multi-protein alignments. For example,
| |
| − | <source lang="python">
| |
| − | cealign 1AUE, 1BZ4
| |
| − | cealign 1AUE, 1B68
| |
| − | cealign 1AUE, 1A7V
| |
| − | cealign 1AUE, 1CPR
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | will superimpose all the TARGETS onto the MASTER.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Examples=====
| |
| − | <source lang="python">
| |
| − | cealign 1cll and i. 42-55, 1ggz and c. A
| |
| − | cealign 1kao, 1ctq
| |
| − | cealign 1fao, 1eaz
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Multiple Structure Alignments=====
| |
| − | Use the '''alignto''' command, now provided with cealign. Just type,
| |
| − | <source lang="python">
| |
| − | alignto PROT
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | to align all your proteins in PyMOL to the one called, '''PROT'''.

| − | ===Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6)===
| |
| − | [[Image:Cealign mac os x.png|300px|thumb|center|CEAlign running on Mac OS X (10.5)]] | |
| − | * Install PyMOL under fink.
| |
| − | * Download and install cealign (download instructions below)
| |
| − | <source lang="bash">
| |
| − | sudo /sw/bin/python setup.py install
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | * In PyMOL, run the two scripts needed for cealign: "cealign.py" and "qkabsch.py". These are located in the cealign directory you previously downloaded.
| |
| − | * Voila!
| |
| − | * Note that the above python version must match the same version that is used by PyMOL. If you are using the pre-compiled version of MacPyMOL, the above instructions won't work.
| |
| − | * Note: if you get an error about '''-Wno-long-double''' then your gcc is mismatched. I fixed this by pointing the symbolic link ''/usr/bin/gcc'' from ''/usr/bin/gcc-4.2'' to ''/usr/bin/gcc-4.0''. Or, in code,
| |
| − | <source lang="bash">
| |
| − | # These command are commented out to stop people from copy/pasting b/c
| |
| − | # these are possibly dangerous for your system. Ensure that /usr/bin/gcc
| |
| − | # is a symbolic link and not a real binary. If so, I used the following
| |
| − | # to fix the -Wno-long-double error.
| |
| − | # sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc

| − | =====Pre-compiled Hackish Install=====
| |
| − | For those people that prefer to use the pre-compiled version of PyMOL, here are the basics for your install. '''This is a poor method of installing Cealign. I suggest users compile and install their own PyMOL.''' The final goal is to get
| |
| − | # '''ccealign.so''' module into '''PYMOL/ext/lib/python2.4/site-packages'''
| |
| − | # numpy installed (get the numpy directory into (or linked into) '''PYMOL/ext/lib/python2.4/site-packages'''
| |
| − | # and be able to run cealign.py and qkabsch.py from PyMOL.
| |
| − | If you can do the above three steps, '''cealign''' should run from the pre-compiled PyMOL.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In more detail, on a completely fictitious machine --- that is, I created the following commands from a fake machine and I don't expect a copy/paste of this to work '''anywhere''', but the commands should be helpful enough to those who need it:

| − | '''Solution''': You do not have the linear algebra module installed (or Python can't find it) on your machine. One workaround is to install [http://www.scipy.org/ Scientific Python]. (on debian/ubuntu this can be done by: sudo apt-get install python-scipy) Another is to reinstall the Numpy package from source, ensuring that you have the necessary requirements for the linear algebra module (linpack, lapack, fft, etc.).

| − | '''Solution''': This problem occurs under [http://www.apple.com/macosx Apple Mac OS X] if (a) the Apple's python executable on your machine (/usr/bin/python, currently version 2.3.5) is superseded by [http://fink.sourceforge.net/ Fink]'s python executable (/sw/bin/python, currently version 2.5) and (b) you are using [http://delsci.com/rel/099/#MacOSX precompiled versions of PyMOL] (MacPyMOL, PyMOLX11Hybrid or PyMOL for Mac OS X/X11). These executables ignore Fink's python and instead use Apple's - so, in order to run CE Align, one must install NumPy (as well as CE Align itself) using Apple's python. To do so, first download the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103 Numpy source code archive] (currently version 1.0.1), unpack it, change directory to numpy-1.0.1 and specify the full path to Apple's python executable during installation: <tt>sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py install | tee install.log</tt>. Then, donwload the [http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Cealign#The_Code CE Align source code archive] (currently version 0.2), unpack it, change directory to cealign-0.2 and finally install CE Align as follows: <tt>sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py install | tee install.log</tt>.

| − | '''Answer''': This simply means that PyMOL couldn't find the simplAlign function. To let PyMOL know about this, you must run the following commands before running [[cealign]]:
| |
| − | <source lang="python">
| |
| − | run /your/path/to/cealign/qkabsch.py
| |
| − | run /your/path/to/cealign/cealign.py
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | but most people that use cealign would just put these two lines in their '''.pymolrc''' file.

| − | === Short Alignments Don't Work ===
| |
| − | If you are trying to align fewer than 16 residues then use [[align]], [[super]], or [[optAlign]]. CE uses a window size of 8; and to build a path of more than one window, you need 2*8=16 residues. I will insert some code to re-route small alignments to one of the aforementioned alignment algorithms.

| |
| − | | |
| − | If you were using cealign (or alignto) and now the commands don't work -- that is, they return an RMSD, but don't actually superimpose the objects, then you have a simple problem dealing with states. Most likely the cause of this oddness was (1) when you issued "cealign prot1, prot2" one of them was actually an ensemble of states or (2) you are trying to align to proteins with only one state, but are not looking at state one (because the last protein you were considering had more than one state and you quit editing that protein on a state that's not state 1). To fix this, use the rewind button to get the proteins back into state 1 & reissue the cealign/alignto command.

| − | This error happens on a Mac when you compile one bit of code with gcc-4.0/g++-4.0 and then try to make a library with code compiled from gcc-4.2/g++-4.2. If you recent installed Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) then this might bother you when you try to install Cealign or even PyMOL. To get around this, ensure that you're building all components with the same gcc/g++ executable. Here's how I did it,
| |
| − | <source lang="bash">
| |
| − | # sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/g++
| |
| − | # sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
| |
| − | # sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.0 /usr/bin/g++
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | I commented out those lines to stop people from blindly copy/pasting possible harmful lines. Please ensure that your /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ are actually symbolic links, otherwise you could be doing bad things to your computer. In my case, I only relinked gcc and not g++, hence the error.
