The ihm.restraint Python module

Classes for handling restraints on the system.

class ihm.restraint.PseudoSite(x, y, z, radius=None, description=None)[source]

Selection of a pseudo position in the system. Pseudo positions are typically used to reference a point or sphere that is not explcitly represented, in a PseudoSiteFeature or CrossLinkPseudoSite.

Parameters:
  • x (float) – Cartesian X coordinate of this site.
  • y (float) – Cartesian Y coordinate of this site.
  • z (float) – Cartesian Z coordinate of this site.
  • radius (float) – Radius of the site, if applicable.
  • description (str) – Additional text describing this feature.
class ihm.restraint.Restraint[source]

Base class for all restraints. See ihm.System.restraints.

class ihm.restraint.RestraintGroup[source]

A set of related Restraint objects. This is implemented as a simple list.

Note that due to limitations of the underlying dictionary, only certain combinations of restraints can be placed in groups. In particular, all objects in a group must be of the same type, and only certain types (currently only DerivedDistanceRestraint and PredictedContactRestraint) can be grouped.

Empty groups can be created, but will be ignored on output as the dictionary does not support them.

Restraint groups should be stored in the system by adding them to ihm.System.restraint_groups.
