Descriptions of the parse_PDB_header

A Python 3 script for parsing the header information of PDB files.

The main purpose of this script is to extract some of the header information, such as Experiment Method, Resolution, R value, R_free value, mean B-factor, then calculate the grades of Resolution and R_free value based on the grading of FirstGlance in Jmol. Finally, saving above mentioned information as a .csv file (Pandas DataFrame).

Note: In some PDB files (due to the complex of the protein's structure and the limitations of the experimental detections), the R value have different data, even in the same PDB file, or shown as NULL. Similarly for the R_free value. In addition, the mean B-factor some times reported as NULL

For examples:

In 1BRT.pdb,

REMARK   3  FIT TO DATA USED IN REFINEMENT.                                     
REMARK   3   CROSS-VALIDATION METHOD          : THROUGHOUT                      
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE TEST SET SELECTION  : RANDOM                          
REMARK   3   R VALUE     (WORKING + TEST SET) : 0.140                           
REMARK   3   R VALUE            (WORKING SET) : 0.147                         
REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE                     : 0.164

REMARK   3   FREE R VALUE TEST SET COUNT      : 2283

In 1GPD.pbd

REMARK   3    B23 (A**2) : NULL

Usage

For example

python parse_PDB_header.py

Then the program will ask you to input the directory that contains the PDB files.

>>> Please type the directory contains PDB files:

If you are already in that directory, you only need to type ./ as input.
