Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

You should be aware of the basic PDB data model of model/chain/residue/atom objects. A good explanation on Biopython's Structural Bioinformatics FAQ can be found at http://biopython.org/wiki/The_Biopython_Structural_Bioinformatics_FAQ.

You can find this content in the Chapter07/PDB.ipynb Notebook file.

Of the three models that we will download, the 1TUP model will be used in the remaining recipes. Take some time to study this model, as it will help you later on.
