biology

A utility module that allows access to the amino acid attributes needed for descriptors and encodings. The list of supported amino acids and post-translations are at the bottom of this page and the data for all attributes are under the peptidy.data.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
aromatic_aas list

A list of aromatic amino acids retrieve based on Lobry,1994.

blosum62_scores dict

A dictionary that contains the BLOSUM62 matrix.

descriptor_per_aas dict

A dictionary that contains the all descriptor values per amino acid.

formulas dict

A dictionary that contains the closed formulas of the amino acids.

hydrophobic_aas list

A list of hydrophobic amino acids (Nelson & Cox, 2004).

instabilities dict

A dictionary that contains the instability of amino acids pairs per Guruprasad, Reddy & Pandit, 1990.

n_h_acceptors dict

A dictionary that contains the number of hydrogen acceptors per amino acid according to PubChem.

n_h_donors dict

A dictionary that contains the number of hydrogen donors per amino acid according to PubChem.

n_rotatable_bonds dict

A dictionary that contains the number of rotatable bonds in each amino acid (PubChem).

neg_pks dict

A dictionary that contains the negative pKa values of the amino acids.

pos_pks dict

A dictionary that contains the positive pKa values of the amino acids.

token2label dict

A dictionary that contains the token to label mapping for label encoding. The amino acids are indexed from 1 to 20 in alphabetical order and the modifications are indexed from 21 to 28.

tpsas dict

A dictionary that contains the topological polar surface area of the amino acids, as retrieved from Adhav & Saikrishnan, 2023.

weights dict

A dictionary that contains the molecular weights of the amino acids.

x_logps dict

A dictionary that contains the XLogP values of the amino acids per PubChem.
