Detailed Description

Class for the enzymatic digestion of proteins.

Digestion can be performed using simple regular expressions, e.g. [KR] | [^P] for trypsin. Also missed cleavages can be modeled, i.e. adjacent peptides are not cleaved due to enzyme malfunction/access restrictions. If n missed cleavages are allowed, all possible resulting peptides (cleaved and uncleaved) with up to n missed cleavages are returned. Thus no random selection of just n specific missed cleavage sites is performed.

An alternative model is also available in EnzymaticDigestionLogModel.

Member Function Documentation

◆ digest()

Size digest	(	const AASequence &	protein,
		std::vector< AASequence > &	output,
		Size	min_length = `1`,
		Size	max_length = `0`
	)		const

: Performs the enzymatic digestion of a protein.

Parameters

protein	Sequence to digest
output	Digestion products (peptides)
min_length	Minimal length of reported products
max_length	Maximal length of reported products (0 = no restriction)

Returns: Number of discarded digestion products (which are not matching length restrictions)

◆ isValidProduct() [1/2]

bool isValidProduct	(	const AASequence &	protein,
		int	pep_pos,
		int	pep_length,
		bool	ignore_missed_cleavages = `true`,
		bool	allow_nterm_protein_cleavage = `false`,
		bool	allow_random_asp_pro_cleavage = `false`
	)		const

forwards to isValidProduct using protein.toUnmodifiedString()

◆ isValidProduct() [2/2]

bool isValidProduct	(	const String &	protein,
		int	pep_pos,
		int	pep_length,
		bool	ignore_missed_cleavages = `true`,
		bool	allow_nterm_protein_cleavage = `false`,
		bool	allow_random_asp_pro_cleavage = `false`
	)		const

Variant of EnzymaticDigestion::isValidProduct() with support for n-term protein cleavage and random D|P cleavage.

Checks if peptide is a valid digestion product of the enzyme, taking into account specificity and the flags provided here.

Parameters

protein	Protein sequence
pep_pos	Starting index of potential peptide
pep_length	Length of potential peptide
ignore_missed_cleavages	Do not compare MC's of potential peptide to the maximum allowed MC's
allow_nterm_protein_cleavage	Regard peptide as n-terminal of protein if it starts only at pos=1 or 2 and protein starts with 'M'
allow_random_asp_pro_cleavage	Allow cleavage at D\|P sites to count as n/c-terminal.

Returns: True if peptide has correct n/c terminals (according to enzyme, specificity and above flags)

◆ peptideCount()

Size peptideCount ( const AASequence & protein )

Returns the number of peptides a digestion of protein would yield under the current enzyme and missed cleavage settings.

◆ setEnzyme() [1/2]

virtual void setEnzyme

Sets the enzyme for the digestion.

◆ setEnzyme() [2/2]

void setEnzyme ( const String & name )

Sets the enzyme for the digestion (by name)
