Member Function Documentation

void SimTK::PDBReader::createCompounds

(

CompoundSystem &

system

)

Create one or more Compounds representing the protein or nucleic acid described in the PDB file.

You pass to this method a CompoundSystem which has all the necessary subsystems. It then creates Compounds based on the sequence in the PDB file and adds them to the CompoundSystem.

Real SimTK::PDBReader::createState	(	const CompoundSystem &	system,
		State &	state
	)		const

Create a State reflecting the structure loaded from the PDB file.

Before calling this method, you must first call createCompounds(), then call modelCompounds() on the CompoundSystem. You pass it the System that was created by createCompounds() and a State in which to store the result. It performs a nonlinear optimization to find the set of internal coordinates for the System which most closely match the structure specified in the PDB file.

Because this method actually has to solve an optimization problem, it may take a long time for large proteins.
