mdtraj.
load_pdb
(filename, stride=None, atom_indices=None, frame=None, no_boxchk=False, standard_names=True)¶ Load a RCSB Protein Data Bank file from disk.
Parameters: filename : str
Path to the PDB file on disk. The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include http and ftp.
stride : int, default=None
Only read every stride-th model from the file
atom_indices : array_like, default=None
If not None, then read only a subset of the atoms coordinates from the file. These indices are zero-based (not 1 based, as used by the PDB format). So if you want to load only the first atom in the file, you would supply
atom_indices = np.array([0])
.frame : int, default=None
Use this option to load only a single frame from a trajectory on disk. If frame is None, the default, the entire trajectory will be loaded. If supplied,
stride
will be ignored.no_boxchk : bool, default=False
By default, a heuristic check based on the particle density will be performed to determine if the unit cell dimensions are absurd. If the particle density is >1000 atoms per nm^3, the unit cell will be discarded. This is done because all PDB files from RCSB contain a CRYST1 record, even if there are no periodic boundaries, and dummy values are filled in instead. This check will filter out those false unit cells and avoid potential errors in geometry calculations. Set this variable to
True
in order to skip this heuristic check.standard_names : bool, default=True
If True, non-standard atomnames and residuenames are standardized to conform with the current PDB format version. If set to false, this step is skipped.
Returns: trajectory : md.Trajectory
The resulting trajectory, as an md.Trajectory object.
