Class NucleotideChain

Chain --+
        |
       NucleotideChain

Nucleotide chain in a PDB file

Instance Methods
 
isCompatible(self, chain_data, residue_data)
bool
isTerminated(self)
Returns: True if the last residue is in 3-terminal configuration

Inherited from Chain: __getitem__, __getslice__, __init__, __len__, addResidue, deleteHydrogens, removeResidues, sequence, writeToFile

Method Details

isTerminated(self)

 
Returns: bool
True if the last residue is in 3-terminal configuration

Note: There is no way to perform this test with standard PDB files. The algorithm used works for certain non-standard files only.
