pdbdistplot - Visualize intermolecular distances in Protein Data Bank (PDB) file

Syntax

pdbdistplot(PDBid)
pdbdistplot(PDBid, Distance)

Arguments

PDBid

String specifying a unique identifier for a protein structure record. Each structure in the PDB is represented by a 4-character alphanumeric identifier.

For example, 4hhb is the identification code for hemoglobin.

Distance

Threshold distance in angstroms shown on a spy plot. Default is 7.

Description

pdbdistplot displays the distances between atoms and amino acids in a PDB structure.

pdbdistplot(PDBid) retrieves the entry PDBid from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) database and creates a heat map showing interatom distances and a spy plot showing the residues where the minimum distances apart are less than 7 angstroms. PDBid is a string specifying an entry in the PDB database or the name of a variable or a file containing a PDB MATLAB structure.

pdbdistplot(PDBid, Distance) specifies the threshold distance shown on a spy plot.

Examples

Display a spy plot at 7 angstroms of the protein cytochrome C from albacore tuna.

pdbdistplot('5CYT');

Display a spy plot at 10 angstroms of the same structure.

pdbdistplot('5CYT',10);
