Wilke:ParseDSSP

File:DSSPData.txt is a python script created to allow easy parsing of DSSP files.

To use it:

Load the script in python:

 import DSSPData as dd

Instantiate an object instance:

 dd_ob = dd.DSSPData()

Input a dssp data file:

 dd_ob.parseDSSP( dssp_file_name )

To get data for example:

 accesibilities = dd_ob.getACC()

Will return all of the solvent accesibilties. Each column in the dssp output file has its own getter. Here are all the getters:

 getResnums()
 getChainType()
 getAAs()
 getSecStruc()
 getBP1()
 getBP2()
 getACC()
 getH_NHO1()
 getH_NHO2()
 getH_OHN1()
 getH_OHN2()
 getTCO()
 getKAPPA()
 getALPHA()
 getPHI()
 getPSI()
 getX()
 getY()
 getZ()

The secondary structure method does not strip white space because it is necessary for decoding the output.
