Welcome to PBxplore’s documentation!¶
PBxplore is a suite of tools dedicated to Protein Block analysis.
Protein Blocks (PBs) are structural prototypes defined by de Brevern et al [1]. The 3-dimensional local structure of a protein backbone can be modelized as an 1-dimensional sequence of PBs. In principle, any conformation of any amino acid could be represented by one of the sixteen available Protein Blocks.
PBxplore provides both a Python library and command-line tools (Utilization). For some features (reading trajectory, plots), PBxplore requires some optional dependencies (Installation). Basically, PBxplore can:
- assign PBs from either a PDB or either a molecular dynamics trajectory (PB assignation).
- use analysis tools to perform statistical analysis on PBs (Statistics).
- use analysis tools to study protein flexibility and deformability (Analyzis).
