7.3. Atom selection Hierarchy — MDAnalysis.core.Selection
¶
These objects are constructed and applied to the group
Currently all atom arrays are handled internally as sets, but returned as AtomGroups
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
BackboneSelection
[source]¶ A BackboneSelection contains all atoms with name ‘N’, ‘CA’, ‘C’, ‘O’.
This excludes OT* on C-termini (which are included by, eg VMD’s backbone selection).
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
BaseSelection
[source]¶ Selection of atoms in nucleobases.
Recognized atom names (from CHARMM):
‘N9’, ‘N7’, ‘C8’, ‘C5’, ‘C4’, ‘N3’, ‘C2’, ‘N1’, ‘C6’, ‘O6’,’N2’,’N6’, ‘O2’,’N4’,’O4’,’C5M’
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
CASelection
[source]¶ Select atoms named CA in protein residues (supposed to be the C-alphas)
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
NucleicBackboneSelection
[source]¶ A NucleicBackboneSelection contains all atoms with name “P”, “C5’”, C3’”, “O3’”, “O5’”.
These atoms are only recognized if they are in a residue matched by the
NucleicSelection
.

class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
NucleicSelection
[source]¶ A nucleic selection consists of all atoms in nucleic acid residues with recognized residue names.
Recognized residue names:
- from the CHARMM force field ::
awk ‘/RESI/ {printf “’”’”%s”’”’,”,$2 }’ top_all27_prot_na.rtf
recognized: ‘ADE’, ‘URA’, ‘CYT’, ‘GUA’, ‘THY’
recognized (CHARMM in Gromacs): ‘DA’, ‘DU’, ‘DC’, ‘DG’, ‘DT’
Changed in version 0.8: additional Gromacs selections (see also
NucleicXstalSelection
)
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
NucleicSugarSelection
[source]¶ A NucleicSugarSelection contains all atoms with name C1’, C2’, C3’, C4’, O2’, O4’, O3’.
-
class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
PropertySelection
(prop, operator, value, abs=False)[source]¶ Some of the possible properties: x, y, z, radius, mass,

class
MDAnalysis.core.Selection.
ProteinSelection
[source]¶ A protein selection consists of all residues with recognized residue names.
Recognized residue names in
ProteinSelection.prot_res
.- from the CHARMM force field::
awk ‘/RESI/ {printf “’”’”%s”’”’,”,$2 }’ top_all27_prot_lipid.rtf
manually added special CHARMM, OPLS/AA and Amber residue names.
still missing: Amber N- and C-terminal residue names

SelectionParser
[source]¶ A small parser for selection expressions. Demonstration of recursive descent parsing using Precedence climbing (see http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/exp_parsing.htm). Transforms expressions into nested Selection tree.
For reference, the grammar that we parse is
E(xpression)--> Exp(0) Exp(p) --> P {B Exp(q)} P --> U Exp(q) | "(" E ")" | v B(inary) --> "and" | "or" U(nary) --> "not" T(erms) --> segid [value] | resname [value] | resid [value] | name [value] | type [value]
