      • equivalentAxes

        @Deprecated
        public static boolean equivalentAxes​(javax.vecmath.Matrix4d axis1,
                                             javax.vecmath.Matrix4d axis2,
                                             double epsilon)
        Deprecated.
        Determines if two symmetry axis are equivalent inside the error threshold. It only takes into account the direction of the vector where the rotation is made: the angle and translation are not taken into account.
        Parameters:
        axis1 -
        axis2 -
        epsilon - error allowed in the axis comparison
        Returns:
        true if equivalent, false otherwise
      • isRefined

        @Deprecated
        public static boolean isRefined​(MultipleAlignment symm)
        Deprecated.
        Returns true a symmetry multiple alignment has been refined, false otherwise.

        For a refined alignment only one Block with no repeated residues is necessary. Sufficient condition is not tested (only known from the algorithm or CeSymmResult).

        Parameters:
        symm - the symmetry alignment
        Returns:
        true if the alignment is refined
      • isSignificant

        @Deprecated
        public static boolean isSignificant​(MultipleAlignment msa,
                                            double symmetryThreshold)
                                     throws StructureException
        Deprecated.
        Returns true if the symmetry alignment is significant, false otherwise.

        For a symmetry alignment to be significant, the alignment has to be refined and the TM-score has to be higher than the threshold.

        It is recommended to use the CeSymmResult.isSignificant() method instead.

        Parameters:
        msa -
        symmetryThreshold -
        Returns:
        Throws:
        StructureException
      • getGroups

        public static java.util.List<Group> getGroups​(Atom[] rAtoms)
        Returns the List of Groups of the corresponding representative Atom array. The representative Atom array needs to fulfill: no two Atoms are from the same Group and Groups are sequential (connected in the original Structure), except if they are from different Chains.
        Parameters:
        rAtoms - array of representative Atoms (CA, P, etc).
        Returns:
        List of Groups

                                                 throws StructureException
        Calculates the set of symmetry operation Matrices (transformations) of the new alignment, based on the symmetry relations in the SymmetryAxes object. It sets the transformations to the input MultipleAlignment and SymmetryAxes objects. If the SymmetryAxes object is null, the superposition of the repeats is done without symmetry constraints.

        This method also sets the scores (RMSD and TM-score) after the new superposition has been updated.

        Parameters:
        axes - SymmetryAxes object. It will be modified.
        msa - MultipleAlignment. It will be modified.
        Throws:
        StructureException
      • updateSymmetryScores

        Update the scores (TM-score and RMSD) of a symmetry multiple alignment. This method does not redo the superposition of the alignment.
        Parameters:
        symm - Symmetry Multiple Alignment of Repeats
        Throws:
        StructureException

        Returns:
        representative Atom[]
