# Python3 client API for ConsurfDB
[Consurf-DB](https://consurfdb.tau.ac.il/) is a web server developed by the group of Prof. Nir Ben-Tal
which provides PDB structures with the b-factors remapped to residue conservation scores as determined
by their [rate4site](https://www.tau.ac.il/~itaymay/cp/rate4site.html).
This **unofficial** Python3 module queries this server and performs several operations.
This was formerly a part of the Venus backend ([:octocat: michelanglo-protein](https://github.com/matteoferla/MichelaNGLo-protein-analysis)),
but I (MF) moved it out as it may be useful for others.
PS. Like all APIs, especially the unofficial ones, do not abuse the server...
## Usage
Get and parse consurfDB data.
```python3
from consurfDB import ConsurfDB
cp = ConsurfDB.from_web('1UBQ', 'A')
```
The `grades` file data is in `cp.data` and can be made into a pandas dataframe:
It takes ~1.7 seconds to fetch a grades file off the web.
Do simply ignore the unsafe SSL warning
(changing `ConsurfDB.REQUEST_VERIFY_SETTING` to `True`, will result in failure).
One can also run it from a grades file:
```python3
from consurfDB import ConsurfDB
cp = ConsurfDB.from_filename('grades.txt')
```
Data is in `self.data`, which is a dict of `MET1:A` to dict of values.
See the type dictionary `ResidueDataType` for details.
```python3
from consurfDB import ResidueDataType
help(ResidueDataType)
```
One can make a pandas dataframe from it.
```python3
grades : pd.DataFrame = cp.to_pandas()
```
If a residue appears in SEQPOS but no ATOM records are present, they will be like ``cp.data['___1:A']``.
The key is the ``3LATOM`` field, this is ATOM numbering, while POS is the SEQPOS numbering.
``apply_offset_from_swissmodel`` uses the latter and makes both Uniprot numbering.
Also can add a consurf conservation to a PyRosetta pose in place.
```python3
pose : pyrosetta.Pose = ... # noqa
cp.add_bfactor_to_pose(pose)
```
Or a pymol object
also, if chain number differs, e.g. V in consurf grades file and A in pose:
```python3
cp.remap_chains({'B': 'A'})
```
Likewise with offset.
If the Uniprot id is known, the offset can be taken from Swissmodel
```python3
cp.apply_offset_from_swissmodel(uniprot, code, chain)
```
Potentially support multi-chain operations, but not tested.
```python
cp = ConsurfDB.merge([cp1, cp2, cp3]) # noqa
```
