[chimera-dev] Help with "looping through PDB IDs" script

[Navya Shilpa Josyula]

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again. With your help, I was able to get areaSAS and
Bfactor values for the atoms in each .pdb1 file showing corresponding PDB
IDs in the 1st column. I really thank you for this!

Now I am trying to write CASTp information for each of my proteins into a
separate file. As you suggested in earlier email, the processCastpID
function is in the gui.py file but not in __init__.py file. Hope I am not
missing anything here. As per my understanding, this function is fetching
the 4 castp files of which I would require only ".poc" and ".pocInfo"
files. From these two files I want to write the data of only atoms list,
pocID and MS_Volume data into a single file for all 400 proteins in my
dataset. Is there a link or any script available for such requirement?

Again, as mentioned in my last email, since my output files will be huge in
size, will I be able to write my files directly to a database table in SQL
server?

Kindly help me with this.

Thanks and regards,
Navya
