Bio::Structure::Entry(User Contributed Perl DocumentatBio::Structure::Entry(3)NAMEBio::Structure::Entry - Bioperl structure Object, describes the whole
entry
SYNOPSIS
#add synopsis here
DESCRIPTION
This object stores a whole Bio::Structure entry. It can consist of one
or more models (Bio::Structure::Model), which in turn consist of one or
more chains (Bio::Structure::Chain). A chain is composed of residues
(Bio::Structure::Residue) and a residue consists of atoms
(Bio::Structure::Atom). If no specific model or chain is chosen, the
first one is chosen.
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and
data examples if at all possible.
Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
new()
Title : new()
Usage : $struc = Bio::Structure::Entry->new(
-id => 'structure_id',
);
Function: Returns a new Bio::Structure::Entry object from basic
constructors. Probably most called from Bio::Structure::IO.
Returns : a new Bio::Structure::Model object
model()

To add a Model (and keep the existing ones) use add_model()
It returns a list of Model objects.
Returns : List of Bio::Structure::Model objects

Usage : $structure->get_models($structure);
Function: general get method for models attached to an Entry
Returns : a list of models attached to this entry
Args : an Entry
id()
Title : id

add_chain()
Title : add_chain
Usage : @chains = $structure->add_chain($model,$chain);
Function: Adds one or more Chain objects to a Bio::Structure::Entry.

Args : A Model object and a Chain object or a reference to an array of
of Chain objects
get_chains()
Title : get_chains
Usage : $entry->get_chains($model);
Function: General get method for Chains attached to a Model
Returns : A list of Chains attached to this model
Args : A Model
residue()
Title : residue
Usage : @residues = $structure->residue($residue);
Function: Connects a (or a list of) Residue objects to a Bio::Structure::Entry.
Returns : List of Bio::Structure::Residue objects
Args : One Residue or a reference to an array of Residue objects
add_residue()
Title : add_residue
Usage : @residues = $structure->add_residue($chain,$residue);
Function: Adds one or more Residue objects to a Bio::Structure::Entry.
Returns : List of Bio::Structure::Residue objects
Args : A Chain object and a Residue object or a reference to an array of
Residue objects
get_residues()
Title : get_residues
Usage : $structure->get_residues($chain);
Function: General get method for Residues attached to a Chain
Returns : A list of residues attached to this Chain
Args : A Chain
add_atom()
Title : add_atom
Usage : @atoms = $structure->add_atom($residue,$atom);
Function: Adds a (or a list of) Atom objects to a Bio::Structure::Residue.
Returns : List of Bio::Structure::Atom objects
Args : A Residue and an Atom
get_atoms()
Title : get_atoms
Usage : $structure->get_atoms($residue);
Function: General get method for Atoms attached to a Residue
Returns : A list of Atoms attached to this Residue
Args : A Residue
parent()
Title : parent
Usage : $structure->parent($residue);
Function: Returns the parent of the argument
Returns : The parent of the argument
Args : A Bio::Structure object
connect
Title : connect
Usage :
Function: Alias to conect()
Returns :
Args :
conect()
Title : conect
Usage : $structure->conect($source);
Function: Get/set method for conect
Returns : A list of serial numbers for Atoms connected to source
(together with $entry->get_atom_by_serial($model, $serial),
this should be OK for now)
Args : The source, the serial number for the source Atom, and the type
get_all_connect_source
Title : get_all_connect_source
Usage :
Function: Alias to get_all_conect_source()
Returns :
Args :
get_all_conect_source()
Title : get_all_conect_source
Usage : @sources = $structure->get_all_conect_source;
Function: Get all the sources for the conect records
Returns : A list of serial numbers for atoms connected to source
(together with $entry->get_atom_by_serial($model, $serial),
this should be OK for now)
Args :
Notes : This is a bit of a kludge, but it is the best for now. Conect info might need
to go in a separate object
master()
Title : master
Usage : $structure->master($source);
Function: Get/set method for master
Returns : The master line
Args : The master line for this entry
seqres()
Title : seqres
Usage : $seqobj = $structure->seqres("A");

if a chain-ID is given, the sequence for this chain is given, if none
is provided the first chain is choosen

Args : The chain-ID of the chain you want the sequence from
get_atom_by_serial()
Title : get_atom_by_serial
Usage : $structure->get_atom_by_serial($model,$serial);
Function: Get the Atom by serial
Returns : The Atom object with this serial number in the model
Args : Model on which to work, serial number for atom
(if only a number is supplied, the first model is chosen)
annotation

Function:
Example :
Returns : value of annotation
Args : newvalue (optional)
_remove_models()
Title : _remove_models
Usage :
Function: Removes the models attached to an Entry. Tells the models they
do not belong to this Entry any more
Returns :
Args :
_create_default_model()
Title : _create_default_model
Usage :
Function: Creates a default Model for this Entry. Typical situation
in an X-ray structure where there is only one model
Returns :
Args :
_create_default_chain()
Title : _create_default_chain
Usage :
Function: Creates a default Chain for this Model. Typical situation
in an X-ray structure where there is only one chain
Returns :
Args :
_parent()
Title : _parent
Usage : This is an internal function only. It is used to have one
place that keeps track of which object has which other object
as parent. Thus allowing the underlying modules (Atom, Residue,...)
to have no knowledge about all this (and thus removing the possibility
of reference cycles).
This method hides the details of manipulating references to an anonymous
hash.
Function: To get/set an objects parent
Returns : A reference to the parent if it exist, undef otherwise. In the
current implementation each node should have a parent (except Entry).
Args :
_child()
Title : _child
Usage : This is an internal function only. It is used to have one
place that keeps track of which object has which other object
as child. Thus allowing the underlying modules (Atom, Residue,...)
to have no knowledge about all this (and thus removing the possibility
to have no knowledge about all this (and thus removing the possibility
of reference cycles).
This method hides the details of manipulating references to an anonymous
hash.
Function: To get/set an the children of an object
Returns : A reference to an array of child(ren) if they exist, undef otherwise.
Args :
_remove_from_graph()
Title : _remove_from_graph
Usage : This is an internal function only. It is used to remove from
the parent/child graph. We only remove the links from object to
his parent. Not the ones from object to its children.
Function: To remove an object from the parent/child graph
Returns :
Args : The object to be orphaned
