calcAtomClassHydrophilicity: Atom Class Hydration Fraction
Description
Calculates the mean hydration value for atoms within a class.
Usage
calcAtomClassHydrophilicity(df.AtomHydroTEMP)
Arguments
df.AtomHydroTEMP
The newly calculated (determined) atomic
hydrophilicity values
Value
This function returns:
hydratFraction.oxy.neut: Neutral oxygen atoms; enter
names.resATs.oxy.neut to see list of residue-atomtypes
hydratFraction.oxy.neg: Negative oxygen atoms; enter
names.resATs.oxy.neg to see list of residue-atomtypes
hydratFraction.nitro.neut: Neutral nitrogen atoms; enter
names.resATs.nitro.neut to see list of residue-atomtypes
hydratFraction.nitro.pos: Positive nitrogen atoms; enter
names.resATs.nitro.pos to see list of residue-atomtypes
hydratFraction.carb.sulf: Carbon and sulfur atoms; enter
names.resATs.carb.sulf to see list of residue-atomtypes
These values are returned in HydrophilicityValues.AtomTypeClasses of the
results of HydrophilicityEvaluation()
Details
This function is called within HydrophilicityEvaluation() to
calculate the hydration fraction for the five atom classes listed in the
Value section.
$$(num surface exposures)/(num atom occurrences)$$
NOTE: This is a non-public function.
