Protein holography

Overview

The protein holography package implements efficient rotationally-equivariant encoding of protein structure and minimal rotationally-equivariant processing of protein microenvironements via H-CNN.

Setup

via env file

Create the protein holography conda environment by running

conda env create -f env.yml

to install the necessary dependencies. Then run

pip install .

to install the protein_holography package. If you're going to make edits to the protein_holography package, run

pip install -e .

so you can test your changes.

Manual set up

Components

pdb preprocessing module

The pdb preprocessing module filters pdbs by criteria such as imaging type (e.g., X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, etc.), resolution, date of deposition, or any other metadata deposited with the structure.

Coordinates

The coordinate module features all preprocessing of pdb files and ultimately results in the holograms that are used in the H-CNN. Specifically, pdb files are processed in three steps.

chemical inference and coordinate extraction via PyRosetta

First, pdb files are read into pyrosetta where hydrogen atom positions are inferred, partial charges are assigned, and solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) is calculated on a per atom basis.

neighborhood segmentation

Second, neighborhoods of a fixed radius are extracted from each structure.

holographic projection

Third, each neighborhood is projected into Fourier space via the 3D zernike polynomials.

H-CNN

The hnn class is a fully fourier neural network coded in tensorflow and operates on fully complex inputs.
