DEER-PREdict

Overview

A package for double electron-electron resonance (DEER) and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) predictions from molecular dynamics ensembles.

Installation

To install DEER-PREdict, use the PyPI package:

  pip install DEERPREdict

or clone the repo:

  git clone https://github.com/KULL-Centre/DEERpredict.git
  cd DEERpredict

  pip install -e .

The software requires Python 3.6-3.9.

In case of dependency issues, consider installing FRETpredict in a new environment

  conda create -n myenv python=3.9 pip
  conda activate myenv
  pip install -e .

Documentation

Testing

Run all the tests in one go

  cd DEERpredict

  python -m pytest

or run single tests, e.g.

  cd DEERpredict

  python -m pytest tests/test_PRE.py::test_ACBP
  python -m pytest tests/test_DEER.py::test_T4L

Example

Example of how to run PREpredict to calculate the intensity ratios and PRE rates for PDB code 1NTI (20 conformations) using the BASL MMMx rotamer library (see notebook). Available libraries for MTSSL, BASL, and MA-proxyl probes are listed in DEERPREdict/lib/libraries.yml.

PRE = PREpredict(MDAnalysis.Universe('1nti.pdb'), residue=36, libname='BASL MMMx',
          tau_t=.5*1e-9, log_file='calcPREs/log', temperature=298, z_cutoff=0.05,
          atom_selection='H', Cbeta=False)
PRE.run(output_prefix='calcPREs/BASL', tau_t=.5e-9, delay=10e-3,
          tau_c=2e-09, r_2=10, wh=750)

PRE = PREpredict(MDAnalysis.Universe('1nti.pdb'), residue=36, libname='MA-proxyl MMMx',
          tau_t=.5*1e-9, log_file='calcPREs/log', temperature=298, z_cutoff=0.05,
          attract_scaling=2, atom_selection='H', Cbeta=False)
PRE.run(output_prefix='calcPREs/MAP', tau_t=.5e-9, delay=10e-3,
          tau_c=2e-09, r_2=10, wh=750)
