Important methods include extractStructure and getAtomIndices. Use the atom attribute to iterate over all contained atoms. 1-based indexed access to the atoms is also possible using atom (e.g. atom[1] gets the first atom in the _AtomCollection). The number of atoms can be determined via len(self.atom) or len(self).

Intended as a base class for _Ring, _Molecule, and _Chain.

class schrodinger.structure.Structure(handle, *, take_ownership=True)¶

Bases: object

A general chemical structure object, which may contain multiple molecules. Structure is an object-oriented wrapper for the underlying MMCT library, where all state is stored.

There are several ways to create Structure instances. The structure.StructureReader provides a way to read Structures from a file, and the schrodinger.maestro.maestro.workspace_get function returns the workspace Structure from a Maestro session. The schrodinger.project module provides access to Structures in a Maestro project.

Properties of the Structure entry can be accessed from the property dictionary using the mae file data name. For example, the Glide score of a docked pose may be accessed as:

glide_score = st.property['r_i_glide_gscore']

A few additional Structure attributes are available as instance attributes (actually, as python properties). For example, the title of the structure can be accessed (and assigned) via the title attribute. See the Structure properties documentation for a full list.

Atom objects are accessed from the list-like schrodinger.structure.Structure.atom attribute. Each atom is an instance of the StructureAtom class. See the “Properties” section of the schrodinger.structure.StructureAtom documentation for a list of available attributes (implemented again as python properties). For example, the atomic number of the first atom in a structure is accessed as:

atomic_num = st.atom[1].atomic_number

Note that indices used to access atoms and bonds start at 1, not 0 as with regular python lists. Iteration over the atoms and bonds works as expected.

Structure atom properties may also be accessed from the atom’s property dictionary. For example, the x-coordinate of the first atom may be accessed as:

x_coord = st.atom[1].property['r_m_x_coord']

(However, it is preferable to simply use the x attribute - i.e. st.atom[1].x.)

Bond objects are instances of the schrodinger.structure._StructureBond class and are usually accessed via atoms using the schrodinger.structure.StructureAtom.bond attribute. Like atoms, bonds have some built-in attributes and a general property dictionary. Bonds can also be accessed from the schrodinger.structure.Structure.bond iterator, which iterates over all bonds in the Structure.

Iterators for various substructures can be accessed from the molecule, chain, residue, and ring attributes. Each of these yields an object that has a getAtomIndices method to get a list of atom indices, and an extractStructure method that can be used to create a separate Structure instance corresponding to the substructure.

Please see the Python Module Overview for a non-technical introduction and additional examples.

__init__(handle, *, take_ownership=True)¶: Initialize an object with an existing MMCT handle or a C++ Structure object.

copy()¶: Returns a copy of the structure.

getXYZ(copy=True)¶

Get a numpy array of the xyz coordinates of all atoms in the molecule with shape (atom_total, 3). Note that numpy arrays are indexed starting with 0.

You can avoid copying the underlying data by specifying copy=False, in which case modifying any values will modify the coordinate values in the Structure.

Note that if coordinates are retrieved with copy=False they will become invalid after their source Structure has been garbage collected. Any use of them after this point will likely cause a core dump. This is because the python numpy array provides access directly to the underlying C data.

setXYZ(xyz)¶: Set all xyz coordinates for the molecule from a numpy array.

findResidue(query)¶

Returns a _Residue object matching the given string (e.g. “A:123”). Currently only protein residues are supported.

If no residues were found that match the given string, or if the given string is of improper format, ValueError is raised.

Note: If the structure has more than one matching residue, then only the first match will be returned.

atom¶

An iterable of structure atoms, each of which is a StructureAtom instance.

Example usage, where st is a Structure instance:

# Access an atom (indices start at 1)
atomobj = st.atom[n]

# Delete an atom
del st.atom[n]

# Find the number of atoms
len(st.atom)

# Iterate over all atoms
for atom in st.atom:
    take_some_action(atom)

Note: As with many other collections, the contents of the atom list should not be modified through additions or deletions while you are iterating over it.

bond¶

An iterable of structure bonds, each of which is a _StructureBond instance.

To iterate over bonds:

for bond in st.bond:
    take_some_action(bond)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over bonds.
Note: Bonds are not accessible by index.

molecule¶

An iterable of molecules in the structure, each of which is a _Molecule instance.

Example usage:

# Find the number of molecules in the structure
len(st.molecule)

# Retrieve a molecule by number (indices start at 1)
mol = st.molecule[molnum]

# Iterate over all molecules
for mol in st.molecule:
    take_some_action(mol)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over molecules.

chain¶

An iterable of chains in the structure, each of which is a _Chain instance.

Example usage:

# Find the number of chains in the structure
len(st.chain)

# Retrieve a _Chain instance by letter
chain = st.chain[letter]

# Iterate over chains
for chain in st.chain:
    take_some_action(chain)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over chains.

ring¶

An iterable of rings in the structure, each of which is a _Ring instance.

To iterate over rings:

    take_some_action(ring)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over rings.

property title¶: Get the title for this structure

property atom_total¶: Get total number of atoms in this structure

property mol_total¶: Get total number of molecules in this structure

property formal_charge¶: Get the sum of formal charges for the structure.

The weight of implicit hydrogens is automatically included.

Accessing this property is an O(N) operation.

property residue¶

An iterable of residues in the structure, each of which is a _Residue instance.

To iterate over all residues:

for residue in st.residue:
    take_some_action(residue)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over residues.
Note: residues are not accessible by index. See Structure.findResidue()

property pbc¶: Access the PBC of the Structure. Throws KeyError if no PBC exists

property property¶: Dictionary-like container of Structure-level properties. Keys are strings of the form type_family_name as described in the PropertyName documentation.

retype()¶: Reassign all the MacroModel atom types based on the bond orders and formal charges. This function should be called after either of these have been changed.

static read(filename, index=1)¶: Convenience method for the preferred call to StructureReader.read()

writeToString(format)¶: Write the structure to a string representation and return the string. The format parameter is required.

write(filename, format=None)¶: Convenience method for the preferred call to StructureWriter.write()

append(filename, format=None)¶: Convenience method for the preferred StructureWriter context manager

putToM2ioFile(filehandle)¶: Used by the Maestro writer - put a single structure to the (already open) filehandle

closeBlockIfNecessary(filehandle)¶: Used by the Maestro writer to leave the header block if necessary. For Structure objects this is not needed so it only returns

deleteAtoms(indices, renumber_map=False)¶

Delete multiple atoms from the Structure. The argument indices must be a sequence or an iterable, and able to be interpreted as ints.

After deletion, indices are renumbered from 1 to len(atoms). Pre-existing references to Structure atoms will not be correct, as they store index values.

If renumber_map is set to True, will return a renumbering dictionary. Keys are atom numbers before deleting, and value for each is the new atom number, or None if that atom was deleted.

addAtom(element, x, y, z, color=None, atom_type=None)¶: Add a new atom to the structure. Return the created StructureAtom object.

addAtoms(num_atoms)¶

element
x, y, z
color
atom_type

extract(indices, copy_props=False)¶

Return a new structure object which contains the atoms of the current structure that appear in the specified list.

After extractions, indices are renumbered from 1 to len(atoms). Pre-existing references to Structure atoms will not be correct, as they store index values.

Parameters

indices (iterable or sequence) – List of atom indices to extract
copy_props (bool) – Whether to copy structure properties

Return type

Structure

Returns

Extracted structure

extend(other_structure)¶

Add the atoms in other_structure to the end of the current structure. The other_structure is left unchanged.

Raises: ValueError – Extending a structure with itself is not allowed.

merge(other_structure, copy_props=False)¶

Return a new structure object which contains the atoms of the current structure and the atoms of other_structure.

If copy_props is True, properties from the current structure and other_structure will be added to the new structure. If the same property is specifed in both the current structure and other_structure, the current value will take precedence.

areBound(atom1, atom2)¶: Returns True if atom1 and atom2 have a bond of any order between them and False is there is no bond.

getBond(atom1, atom2)¶: Returns a _StructureBond object for the bond between atom1 and atom2. The atom parameters can be StructureAtom objects or integer indices from 1 to the number of atoms in the structure.

addBond(atom1, atom2, bond_type)¶

Add a bond of the specified type between the two atoms atom1 and atom2. The atom parameters can be StructureAtom objects or integer indices from 1 to the number of atoms in the structure. If the two atoms are already bound then the bond type is just changed.

:param bond_type bond type (legacy integer 0-3 bond order)

addBonds(bonds_list)¶

Add multiple bonds to this structure. This is much faster than multiple calls to addBond() method when many bonds need to be added. Bonds are specified by a list of integer lists: (atom1, atom2, bond_type).

Example::: st.addBonds([(10, 11, 1), (12, 13, 2)])

This will add a single-order bond between atoms 10 and 11, and a double-order bond between atoms 12 and 13.

deleteBond(atom1, atom2)¶: Delete the bond between atom1 and atom2. Raises an Exception if there is no bond between these two.

measure(atom1, atom2, atom3=None, atom4=None)¶

Return the measurement for the provided atoms. If atom3 is None, return the distance between atom1 and atom2. If atom4 is None, return the angle with atoms 1 through 3, and if all atoms are provided, return the dihedral angle.

All atom arguments can be integers or StructureAtom objects.

If Periodic Boundary Condition CT-level properties are defined, uses the PBC measurement.

See also the structutil.measure module, which has functions to make measurements between atoms in different structures, and can also measure angles between planes.

adjust(value, atom1, atom2, atom3=None, atom4=None)¶

Adjust a distance, angle or dihedral angle. If atom3 is None then the distance between atom1 and atom2 will be set to value, atom2 and all atoms attached to that atom will be moved. If atom4 is None then the angle between atom1, atom2 and atom3 will set to value, atom3 and all other atoms attached to that will be moved. If all atoms are specified then the dihedral angle made by atom1, atom2, atom3 and atom4 will be set to value and atom4 and all other atoms attached to that will be moved. All distances are specified in Angstroms, all angles in degrees.

NOTE: To adjust improper dihedrals, use build.adjustImproperDihedral instead

Parameters

value (float) – value the internal coordinate will be set to
atom1 (int or StructureAtom) – first atom in the coordinate
atom2 (int or StructureAtom) – second atom in the coordinate
atom3 (int or StructureAtom or None) – third atom in the coordinate (if None, the coordinate is a bond)
atom4 (int or StructureAtom or None) – fourth atom in the coordinate (if None, the coordinate is an angle)

Raises

AtomsInRingError – if specified atoms are within a ring system.

getMovingAtoms(fixed_atom, moving_atom)¶

Returns all atoms that would move if <moving_atom> is moved while <fixed_atom> is frozen. This effectively returns all atoms in the same molecule substructure as <moving_atom> (atoms in the same substructure as fixed_atom are excluded).

In other words, if the bond between the moving_atom and fixed_atom (or towards the direction of fixed_atom) were to be broken, the atoms that would be in the same molecule as moving_atom are returned. Can be used for detecting things like residue side-chain atoms, etc.

Note

If fixed_atom and moving_atom are part of different molecules, then all atoms in the moving_atom’s molecule will be returned. If fixed_atom and moving_atom are not bound directly, the intervening atoms will not be included in the result. If fixed_atom and moving_atom are connected with more than one path (are in a ring), then ValueError is raised.

Parameters

fixed_atom (Atom index or StructureAtom.) – Atom which is part of the molecule that is to be excluded from the result (frozen, not being moved).
moving_atom (Atom index or StructureAtom.) – Atom of interest (atom to be moved); a set of atoms that would be moved with it (connected to it) will be returned.

Return type

Set of ints

Returns

Set of atom indices for atoms “connected” to moving_atom - those atoms that would be moved with it if it was moved. For example, if called with alpha carbon and beta carbon atoms of a protein residue, then all side-chain atoms would be returned. Atom moving_atom will also be included.

Raises ValueError if the given atoms are part of a ring (in other words, moving_atom is connected to fixed_atom via more than one path). This may happen if part of the moving_atom’s “chain” is bonded to something unexpected; e.g. ZOBed to metals, or involved in a di-sulfide bond.

Return a string representation of the provided Structure, formatted as an SD file.

class schrodinger.structure.PropertyName(dataname=None, type=None, family=None, username=None)¶

Bases: object

The PropertyName class can be used to display the “user-readable” version of an entry or atom property to the user.

Properties are stored in mae files with names in the form type_family_name, where type is a datatype indicator, family indicates the owner or creator of the property, and name is the name of the property. These strings are used as the keys in the property dictionary attributes of Structure, StructureAtom, and _StructureBond. Examples include s_m_title, which is a string created by Maestro with the name “title”, and i_m_residue_number, which is an integer created by Maestro with the name “residue number”.

__init__(dataname=None, type=None, family=None, username=None)¶

The PropertyName constructor operates in one of two modes - either a dataname needs to be provided, or each of type, family, and username needs to be provided.

Parameters

dataname (str) – The full property name, e.g. ‘s_m_title’.
type (enum) – The property value type, which must be ‘s’, ‘r’, ‘i’, or ‘b’. You can also use the predefined module constants PROP_STRING, PROP_FLOAT (or equivalently PROP_REAL), PROP_INTEGER, and PROP_BOOLEAN.
family (str) – The family/owner of the property. If the family is one of the recognized long family names (e.g. ‘QikProp’ - see the keys of the PROP_SHORT_NAME dict), the short family name is assigned automatically.
username (str) – The name a user would see displayed in the Maestro project table. Underscores are replaced with spaces unless protected by a backslash (in which case the backslash is not displayed). Internally, PropertyName will store the ‘name’, which is the fragment of the dataname that is not the type or family.

dataName()¶

Returns the m2io data name of form type_family_name.

This is the fully qualified name that includes the type, owner and name and should be used for all lookup, indexing, etc.

userName()¶

Returns the user name of this property. User name is the shortened, user-readable name that should only be used when presenting this property to the user, such as in a GUI pull down menu.

Since data names can NOT have spaces in them, while user names can, we have a convention where a space in a user name is represented as an underscore in the data name, and an underscore in the user name has to be escaped with a backslash in the data name.

Replace ‘_’ with ‘_’, and ‘_’ with ‘ ‘ before returning the user name

userNameWithFamily()¶

Returns the property name to be displayed in UI widgets, such as combo menus and tables. The display name is the “user” name, followed by the family in parentheses.

Returns: Property name with family name in parentheses.
Return type: str

isFamily(family)¶

Checks if passed family parameter is valid.

Parameters: family (str) – The short name for family/owner of the property. Must be present in PROP_LONG_NAME.
Raises: ValueError – If family key does not exist in PROP_LONG_NAME.

schrodinger.structure.create_new_structure(num_atoms=0)¶

Returns a new Structure object.

If the Structure is created without atoms, they can be added with the Structure.addAtom or Structure.addAtoms methods.

Otherwise, the following atom attributes must be set for each atom afterwards:

element
x, y, z
color
atom_type

Parameters: num_atoms – The number of atoms to create the structure with.

schrodinger.structure.get_residues_by_connectivity(atom_container)¶

Parameters: atom_container (Structure._Chain, Structure._Structure, or Structure._Molecule) – Anything with an atom() method that returns atom indexes
Returns: A residue iterator where the atoms are returned in N->C connectivity order
Return type: Structure._ResidueIterable

schrodinger.structure.get_residues_unsorted(atom_container)¶

Access residues in the unsorted input order

Parameters: atom_container (Structure._Chain, Structure._Structure, or Structure._Molecule) – Anything with an atom() method that returns atom indexes
Returns: A residue iterator where the atoms are returned in unsorted order
Return type: Structure._ResidueIterable

schrodinger.structure.get_pyatom_from_cppatom(cppatom)¶

Given a C++ atom object, return the corresponding Python atom.

Parameters: cppatom (schrodinger.infra.structure.StructureAtom) – C++ atom object
Returns: The corresponding Python atom object
Return type: structure.StructureAtom

schrodinger.structure.set_all_atoms_entry_id_from_entry_id_property(st)¶

Set entry id property from the structure’s M2IO_DATA_CT_ENTRY_ID property on all atoms if M2IO_DATA_CT_ENTRY_ID property exists.

In Maestro, atom entry ids should be set automatically and there should never be a need to call this function. Explicit calls to this function are typically only required in unit tests.

Parameters: st (schrodinger.structure.Structure) – The structure object

class schrodinger.structure._ReaderWriterContextManager¶

Bases: object

A mixin to enable context manager usage in reader and writer classes.

class schrodinger.structure.MaestroTextReader(filename, index=1, error_handler=None)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

class schrodinger.structure._BaseWriter¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

This class provides a common implementation for structure writers.

setOption(option, value)¶

Set a single option for this writer. This method is meant for options that may not be supported for all writer formats. See the StructureWriter class documentation for details on the available options.

Raises an OptionError subclass (either UnsupportedOption or UnsupportedOptionValue) if unsuccessful.

Parameters

option (str) – The name of the option to set.
value – The value for the option. The data type of this parameter depends on the option being set.

class schrodinger.structure.MaestroWriter(filename, overwrite=True, allow_empty_file=False)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._BaseWriter

A class for more efficient appending of a large number of structures to a single maestro structure file.

For writing single structures, just use the Structure.write method. For appending a small (less than a thousand) number of structures, the Structure.append method will perform acceptably.

__init__(filename, overwrite=True, allow_empty_file=False)¶

Initialize needed mmlibs and open the file ‘filename’.

Note that the file will not be completely written until it is explicitly closed or the object is garbage collected.

Parameters

filename (str) – The filename to write to.
overwrite (bool) – If False, append to an existing file if it exists.
allow_empty_file (bool) – Whether we should create an output with no structures if we don’t append any structures.

append(ct)¶

Append the provided structure to the open mae file. Set self.last_position to the file offset just before it was appended.

The use of this class and method should be preferred for large numbers of structures (say, >1000), but for smaller numbers of structures you can use the Structure.append method directly.

close()¶: Close the file.

class schrodinger.structure.PDBWriter(filename, reorder_by_sequence=False, first_occ=False, translate_pdb_resnames=True)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._BaseWriter

A class for writing PDB-formatted files. Only one structure can be written to a PDB file. While this class overs no speed increase over the Structure.write() method, it provides more options.

__init__(filename, reorder_by_sequence=False, first_occ=False, translate_pdb_resnames=True)¶

Initialize needed mmlibs and open the file ‘filename’.

Note that the file will not be completely written until it is explicitly closed or the object is garbage collected.

Parameters

filename (str) – The filename to write to.
reorder_by_sequence (bool) – Whether to re-order the residues by sequence before writing the PDB file.
first_occ (bool) – If True and there are alternate occupancy sites, only the first occupancy site will be included in the output PDB file. Otherwise, all occupancy sites will be included.
translate_pdb_resnames (bool) – If True, the pdb residue names get converted to a standard set. If False, the translation is turned off.

NOTE: Any existing file will be overwritten when the class instance is created.

write(ct)¶: Write the provided structure to the PDB file.

append(ct)¶: Alias to the write() method (for consistency with the other Writer classes).

close()¶: Does nothing. Added for consistency with other Writer classes.

class schrodinger.structure.StructureWriter(filename, overwrite=True, format=None, stereo=None, allow_empty_file=False)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

A class for efficient writing of multiple structures to a single structure file. If you are writing a single structure, you can more easily use the Structure.write method.

Options that are not supported for all formats can be set with the setOption method, for example:

with StructureWriter(filename) as writer:
    try:
        writer.setOption(stereo=STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION)
    except OptionError:
        # take action based on unsupported option/value here

Currently, the following options are available:

stereo
- This option controls how stereochemical properties are written. It does not affect the output geometry.
- This option is supported for SD, SMILES, and SMILESCSV, although not all options are supported for SD.
- Option values are NO_STEREO, STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION_AND_GEOM, STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION, and STEREO_FROM_GEOMETRY.
- The default value is STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION_AND_GEOM.
- With STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION_AND_GEOM, current annotation properties of the Structure are used when present. Chiral atoms without annotation properties will have their stereochemistry determined from geometry (if possible) and will be written with definite stereochemical configuration.
- With NO_STEREO, no stereochemical information will be written.
- With STEREO_FROM_ANNOTATION, stereochemical information will be written based only on the current annotations. Use this option to allow for specification of stereochemistry on some centers while leaving others undefined. This should be faster than identifying stereochemistry from the 3D geometry.
- With STEREO_FROM_GEOMETRY, stereochemistry will be written for all chiral atoms based on the 3D geometry. This option is not supported for SD format.

__init__(filename, overwrite=True, format=None, stereo=None, allow_empty_file=False)¶

Create a structure writer class based on the format.

Parameters

filename (str or pathlib.Path) – The filename to write to.
overwrite (bool) – If False, append to an existing file instead of overwriting it.
format (str) – The format of the file. Values should be specified by one of the module-level constants MAESTRO, MOL2, SD, SMILES, or SMILESCSV. If the format is not explicitly specified it will be determined from the suffix of the filename. Multi-structure PDB files are not supported.
stereo (enum) –

Use of the stereo option in the constructor is pending deprecation. Please use the setOption method instead.

See the class docstring for documentation on the stereo options.
allow_empty_file (bool) – whether we should create a file with no structures if we don’t append any structures. Only a valid option for Maestro files.

append(ct)¶: Append the provided structure to the open file.

extend(cts)¶: Append all provided structures to the open file.

close()¶: Close the file.

setOption(option, value)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io.StructureWriter

A class for more efficient appending of a large number of structures to a single SD structure file.

For writing single structures, just use the Structure.write method. For appending a small (less than a thousand) number of structures, the Structure.append method will perform acceptably.

class schrodinger.structure.TextualStructure(ct, txt)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._structure.Structure

A sub-class of Structure for use when reading from a Maestro format file and only the structure-level properties are needed. The actual atom and bond records are not parsed from the file and so can’t actually be accessed. The only things possible with this type of Structure are to access the structure level properties or to write it out unchanged to a file. Attempts to access the atom or bond data, directly or indirectly, will raise an exception.

The only useful way to create a TextualStructure object is via the MaestroTextReader.

__init__(ct, txt)¶: Initialize the TextualStructure object. The Structure handle will usually have no atoms but will have an unrequested data handle associated with it which can be used to access the Structure-level properties. ‘txt’ should be the full textual representation of the f_m_ct block as read from the Maestro format file.

property atom¶

An iterable of structure atoms, each of which is a StructureAtom instance.

Example usage, where st is a Structure instance:

# Access an atom (indices start at 1)

# Iterate over all molecules
for mol in st.molecule:
    take_some_action(mol)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over molecules.

property chain¶

An iterable of chains in the structure, each of which is a _Chain instance.

Example usage:

# Find the number of chains in the structure
len(st.chain)

# Retrieve a _Chain instance by letter
chain = st.chain[letter]

# Iterate over chains
for chain in st.chain:
    take_some_action(chain)

Note: Atoms and bonds should not be added or deleted while you are iterating over chains.

property residue¶

An iterable of residues in the structure, each of which is a _Residue instance.

Note: Unlike the Structure.property dictionary, this dictionary is read-only.

write(filename, format=None)¶: Write the structure to a file, overwriting any previous content. File will only be written to Maestro format.

append(filename, format=None)¶: Append the structure to the file. File will only be written to Maestro format.

putToM2ioFile(filehandle)¶: Used by the Maestro writer - put a single structure to the (already open) filehandle

closeBlockIfNecessary(filehandle)¶

Used by the Maestro writer to leave the header block if necessary. For Structure objects this is not needed so it only returns

Deprecated: The method is currently no op

getStructure()¶: Return a Structure object for this TextualStructure by parsing the internal text representation into an mmct.

static read(filename)¶: Reads the first structure from a Maestro file. TextualStructure will only read from files in Maestro format.

class schrodinger.structure.SmilesStructure(pattern, properties=None)¶

Bases: object

SMILES representation of a Structure that is returned by SmilesReader and SmilesCsvReader. When written to a SMILES-formatted file, properties other than the title are not retained.

UndefinedStereochemistry exception is raised if any chiral atom has ambiguous chirality. If set to False, ambiguous chiralities will be expanded arbitrarily.
Return type: structure.Structure
Returns: Volumized 3D structure.

property title¶

class schrodinger.structure.SmilesReader(filename, index=1)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

A class for reading structures from a SMILES formatted file. Returns instances of SmilesStructure.

When the USE_RDKIT_FOR_SMILESSTRUCTURE feature flag is enabled, this class will parse CXSMILES strings.

__init__(filename, index=1)¶: Initialize with a filename, an optional starting index (default of 1).

createSmilesStructure(pattern, properties)¶: Return a SmilesStructure object with the given pattern and properties.

class schrodinger.structure.SmilesCsvReader(filename, index=1)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

A class for reading structures from a SMILES CSV formatted file. This format is used by Canvas. Returns instances of SmilesStructure.

When the USE_RDKIT_FOR_SMILESSTRUCTURE feature flag is enabled, this class will parse CXSMILES strings. The extension string must be part of the SMILES field, and must be enclosed in double quotes in case it contains any commas.

__init__(filename, index=1)¶: Initialize with a filename, an optional starting index (default of 1).

close()¶

class schrodinger.structure.SmilesWriter(filename, overwrite=True, stereo=None)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._BaseWriter

More efficient writing of a large number of structures to a single SMILES file.

__init__(filename, overwrite=True, stereo=None)¶

Parameters

filename (str) – The filename to write to.
overwrite (bool) – If False, append to an existing file if it exists.
stereo (enum) – See the StructureWriter class for documentation on the allowed values.

append(st: Union[schrodinger.structure._io.SmilesStructure, schrodinger.structure._structure.Structure])¶: Append the provided structure to the open SMILES file.

close()¶: Close the file.

class schrodinger.structure.SmilesCsvWriter(filename, stereo=None, props=None)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._BaseWriter

More efficient writing of a large number of structures to a single SMILES CSV file.

__init__(filename, stereo=None, props=None)¶

Note

Excessive memory may be used by this class if the props argument is not specified and many structures are appended.

Parameters

filename (str) – The filename to write to.
stereo (enum) – See the StructureWriter class for documentation on the allowed values.
props (list) – List of property names to export. If specified, then the CSV header is derived from this list, and structure lines are written by the append() method. If not specified, then CSV header will include all properties of all structures, and the output file will only be written when the close() method is called. (All structures will be cached in memory until flushed to disk.)

append(st: Union[schrodinger.structure._io.SmilesStructure, schrodinger.structure._structure.Structure])¶: Append the provided structure to the open SMILES CSV file.

close()¶: Close the file and write the data if props was computed on the fly.

class schrodinger.structure.MultiFileStructureReader(files, *args, **kwargs)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

Provides a single iterator that reads structure from multiple files. Typical usage is identical to typical usage of the StructureReader class except that the class is instantiated with a python list of file names rather than a single file name.

By default, the StructureReader class is used to read the files, but this is customizable with the reader_class keyword.

API Example:

names = ['file1.mae', 'file2.mae', 'file3.pdb']
reader = MultiFileStructureReader(names)
first_struct = next(reader)
for struct in reader:
    do stuff

By default, the reader skips files that raise Exceptions and stores the list of skipped files in the failed_files property.

The current StructureReader can be accessed with the reader property

__init__(files, *args, **kwargs)¶

Create a MultiFileStructureReader

Parameters

files (list) – A list of paths to files to be read
reader_class (Reader class) – By default, StructureReader is used to read the files. A more specific class can be provided, such as PDBReader
pass_errors (bool) – If True, any filename that raises an expected exception will be skipped. Skipped filenames are stored in the failed_files property and can be retrieved after reading. Items of the failed_files list are tuples (filename, error_message). Expected Exceptions include: IOError (does not exist, or unreadable), ValueError (unknown extension), MmException (error opening file) or an Exception while reading structures. The default of False will cause the exceptions to be raise’d.
skip_receptors (bool) – Whether to skip receptors of PV files.

Any additional parameters and keyword arguments are passed to the structure reader class.

reader_class¶: The class used to read files

pass_errors¶: False if exceptions should be raised, True if they should be caught

files¶: List of files remaining to be read

current_filename¶: The file currently being read

index_in_current_file¶: Index of current structure in current file

failed_files¶: List of (failed_file_name, error_message)

reader¶: Current file reader

class schrodinger.structure.MultiFileStructureWriter(basename, extension='.maegz', sts_per_file=100000)¶

Bases: schrodinger.structure._io._ReaderWriterContextManager

Similar to StructureWriter, except that it writes to multiple files, while keeping the number of structures per file under sts_per_file.

Files will be named <basename>-NNN<extension>. Default extension is .maegz.

Options:

basename - The base name of the written files extension - The extension of the written files (default “.maegz”) sts_per_file - Maximum number of structures to write to each file

Usage:

writer = MultiFileStructureWriter(out_basename, ".maegz", 50)
for st in sts:
    writer.append(st)
writer.close()
written_files = writer.getFiles()

__init__(basename, extension='.maegz', sts_per_file=100000)¶

append(st)¶

getFiles()¶: Return a list of file paths for the written files.

getNumStructures()¶: Return the total number of structures that were written.

close()¶: Close any open file handles
