Module psico.orientation

Calculate angle between alpha-helices or beta-sheets. There are four different methods implemented to fit a helix, two of them also work for sheets or loops.

Commands

angle_between_helices selection1, selection2 [, method [, visualize ]]
helix_orientation selection [, visualize [, sigma_cutoff ]]
helix_orientation_hbond selection [, visualize [, cutoff ]]
loop_orientation selection [, visualize ]
cafit_orientation selection [, visualize ]

Example

import anglebetweenhelices

fetch 2x19, async=0
select hel1, /2x19//B/23-36/
select hel2, /2x19//B/40-54/
 
# just calculate/visualize orientation of single alpha-helix
helix_orientation_hbond hel1
 
# get angle between two helices
angle_between_helices hel1, hel2
angle_between_helices hel1, hel2, method=1
angle_between_helices hel1, hel2, method=2
 
# get angle between beta-sheets
select sheet1, A/47-54/
select sheet6, A/146-149/
angle_between_helices sheet1, sheet6, method=loop_orientation
angle_between_helices sheet1, sheet6, method=cafit_orientation

Output:

PyMOL>angle_between_helices hel1, hel2, method=cafit_orientation
Using method: cafit_orientation
Angle: 145.08 deg
