pytraj

pytraj.load(filename, top=None, frame_indices=None, mask=None, stride=None)

try loading and returning appropriate values. See example below.

Parameters:

filename : str, Trajectory filename

top : Topology filename or a Topology

frame_indices : {None, array_like}, default None

only load frames with given number given in frame_indices

Notes

  • For further slicing options, see pytraj.TrajectoryIterator (created by pytraj.iterload)
  • Also see pytraj.iterload for loading a series of trajectories that don’t fit to memory

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> # load netcdf file with given amber parm file
>>> traj = pt.load('traj.nc', '2koc.parm7') 
>>> # load mol2 file
>>> traj = pt.load('traj.mol2') # 
>>> # load pdb file
>>> traj = pt.load('traj.pdb') 
>>> # load given frame numbers
>>> from pytraj.testing import get_fn
>>> fn, tn = get_fn('tz2_dry')

pytraj.iterload(*args, **kwd)

return TrajectoryIterator object

Parameters:

filename: {str, list-like of filenames, pattern}

input trajectory filename(s). You can use a single filename, a list of filenames or a pattern.

top : {str, Topology}

input topology. If str, pytraj will load from disk to Topology first

frame_slice: tuple or list of tuple

specify start, stop, step for each trajectory you want to read.

cpptraj input:

trajin traj0.nc 1 10
trajin traj1.nc

In pytraj, corresponding frame_slice=[(0, 10), (0, -1)]

stride : {None, int}, default None

if not None, trajectories will be strided. Note: if both stride and frame_slice are not None, frame_slice will be ignored

Returns:

pytraj.TrajectoryIterator

Notes

Unlike pytraj.load, you can not arbitarily set frame_indices. If you want to do so, first load trajectories to TrajectoryIterator object, then do fancy slicing

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> # register to load traj.nc from 0-th to 99-th frame
>>> traj = pt.iterload('traj.nc', 'prmtop', frame_slice=(0, 100)]) 
>>> # do fancy indexing to load specific frames to memory
>>> traj[[0, 8, 3, 50, 7]] 
>>> # load to disk with given mask
>>> traj[[0, 8, 3, 50, 7], '!@H='] 

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> traj = pt.iterload('traj.nc', '2koc.parm7') 
>>> # load from a list of filenames
>>> traj = pt.iterload(['traj0.nc', 'traj1.nc'], '2koc.parm7') 
>>> # load all files with a given pattern (sorted)
>>> traj = pt.iterload('./traj*.nc', '2koc.parm7') 
>>> # load from a list of files with given frame step
>>> # for each file, only register to load from frame 0 to 9 (skip 10), skip every 2 frames
>>> traj = pt.iterload(['traj0.nc', 'traj1.nc'], '2koc.parm7', frame_slice=[(0, 10, 2),]*2) 
>>> # load from frame 0 to 9 for `traj0.nc`
>>> # load all frames from `traj1.nc`
>>> traj = pt.iterload(['traj0.nc', 'traj1.nc'], '2koc.parm7', frame_slice=[(0, 10), (0, -1)]) 
>>> # use stride, skip every 2 frames
>>> from pytraj.testing import get_remd_fn
>>> filenames, topology_filename = get_remd_fn('remd_ala2')
>>> [fn.split('/')[-1] for fn in filenames]
['rem.nc.000', 'rem.nc.001', 'rem.nc.002', 'rem.nc.003']
>>> traj = pt.iterload(filenames, topology_filename, stride=2)
pytraj.load_remd(filename, top=None, T='300.0')
pytraj.iterload_remd(filename, top=None, T='300.0')

only need to provide n_frames if traj does not have this info

Returns:

1D ndarray if mask is a string

2D ndarray, shape (n_atom_pairs, n_frames) if mask is a list of strings or an array

Notes

Be careful with Topology. If your topology has Box info but your traj does not, you would get weird output ([0.0, ...]). Make sure to use image=False in this method or set_nobox for Topology.

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> # calculate distance for two atoms, using amber mask
>>> traj = pt.datafiles.load_tz2_ortho()
>>> dist = pt.distance(traj, '@1 @3')
>>> # calculate distance for two groups of atoms, using amber mask
>>> dist = pt.distance(traj, '@1,37,8 @2,4,6')
>>> # calculate distance between two residues, using amber mask
>>> dist = pt.distance(traj, ':1 :10')
>>> # calculate multiple distances between two residues, using amber mask
>>> # distance between residue 1 and 10, distance between residue 3 and 20
>>> # (when using atom string mask, index starts from 1)
>>> dist = pt.distance(traj, [':1 :10', ':3 :20'])
>>> # calculate distance for a series of atoms, using array for atom mask
>>> # distance between atom 1 and 5, distance between atom 4 and 10 (index starts from 0)
>>> dist = pt.distance(traj, [[1, 5], [4, 10]])
pytraj.strip(obj, mask)

return a new Trajectory or FrameIterator or Topology with given mask.

Notes

This method is trying to be smart. If you give it an in-memory Trajectory, it will return a corresponding in-memory Trajectory. If you give it an out-of-memory TrajectoryIterator, it will give you a corresponding FrameIterator object (out-of-memory). If you give it a Topology, it will return a new stripped Topology.

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> traj = pt.datafiles.load_tz2_ortho()
>>> traj.n_atoms
5293
>>> pt.strip(traj, '!@CA').n_atoms
12
>>> pt.strip(traj.top, '!@CA').n_atoms
12
>>> pt.strip('!@CA', traj.top).n_atoms
12
>>> t0 = traj[:3]
>>> pt.strip(t0, '!@CA').n_atoms
12
>>> fi = pt.iterframe(traj, stop=3)
>>> fi = pt.strip(fi, '!@CA')
>>> for frame in fi:
...    print(frame)
<Frame with 12 atoms>
<Frame with 12 atoms>
<Frame with 12 atoms>
>>> # raise ValueError
>>> pt.strip(0, '@CA')
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: object must be either Trajectory or Topology
pytraj.wavelet(traj, command)

wavelet analysis

Parameters:

traj : Trajectory-like

command : str, cpptraj command

Returns:

out : dict

Notes

  • This method is not well-supported in pytraj. It means that

you need to type cpptraj command. Please check cpptraj manual for further info if you really want to use it.

  • Currently pytraj will create a new copy of Trajectory for cpptraj in memory,

so this method is only good for small trajectory that fit to your RAM.

version added: 1.0.6

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> traj = pt.datafiles.load_dpdp()
>>> c0 = 'nb 10 s0 2 ds 0.25 type morlet correction 1.01 chival 0.25 :1-22'
>>> c1 = 'cluster minpoints 66 epsilon 10.0'
>>> command = ' '.join((c0, c1))
>>> wavelet_dict = pt.wavelet(traj, command)

Parameters:

traj : Trajectory-like or iterable that produces Frame

mask : str, default None (use all atoms), optional

atom mask

frame_indices : iterable that produces integer, default None, optional

if not None, only get velocity for given frame indices

Notes

Since pytraj has limited support for force and velocity info, if user wants to load both from disk, should iterate the TrajectoryIterator (got by pytraj.iterload method)

forces = []
velocities = []

traj = pt.iterload(filename, topology_filename)

for frame in traj:
    forces.append(frame.force)
    velocities.append(frame.velocity)

# Note: pytraj can efficiently load arbitary frame indices to memory
for frame in pt.iterframe(traj, frame_indices=[0, 8, 8, 100, 1000]): pass

Examples

>>> vels = pt.get_velocity(traj, frame_indices=[0, 3]) 
pytraj.grid(traj=None, command='', top=None, dtype='dataset')

pytraj.esander(traj=None, prmtop=None, igb=8, mm_options=None, qm_options=None, mode=None, dtype='dict', frame_indices=None, top=None)

energy decomposition by calling libsander

Parameters:

traj : Trajectory-like or iterables that produce Frame

if traj does not hold Topology information, top must be provided

prmtop : str or Structure from ParmEd, default=None, optional

To avoid any unexpected error, you should always provide original topology filename. If prmtop is None, pytraj will load Topology from traj.top.filename.

  • why do you need to load additional topology filename? Because cpptraj and sander use different Topology object, can not convert from one to another.

igb : GB model, default=8 (GB-Neck2)

If specify mm_options, this igb input will be ignored

mm_options : InputOptions from sander, default=None, optional

if mm_options is None, use gas_input with given igb. If mm_options is not None, use this

qm_options : InputOptions from sander for QMMM, optional

mode : str, default=None, optional

if mode=’minimal’, get only ‘bond’, ‘angle’, ‘dihedral’ and ‘total’ energies

top : pytraj.Topology or str, default=None, optional

only need to specify this top if traj does not hold Topology

dtype : str, {‘dict’, ‘dataset’, ‘ndarray’, ‘dataframe’}, default=’dict’

return data type

frame_indices : None or 1D array-like, default None

if not None, only perform calculation for given frames

Returns:

Dict of energies (to be used with DataFrame) or DatasetList

Notes

This method does not work with pytraj.pmap when you specify mm_options and qm_options. Use pytraj.pmap_mpi with MPI instead.

Work with pytraj.pmap:

pt.pmap(pt.esander, traj, igb=8, dtype='dict')

Will NOT work with pytraj.pmap:

import sander
inp = sander.gas_input(8)
pt.pmap(pt.esander, traj, mm_options=inp, dtype='dict')

Why? Because Python need to pickle each object to send to different cores and Python does not know how to pickle mm_options from sander.gas_input(8).

This works with pytraj.pmap_mpi because pytraj explicitly create mm_options in each core without pickling.

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> traj0 = pt.datafiles.load_ala3()
>>> traj1 = pt.Trajectory(xyz=np.empty((traj0.n_frames, traj0.n_atoms, 3), dtype='f8'), top=traj0.top)

class pytraj.TrajectoryIterator(filename=None, top=None, *args, **kwd)

Bases: pytraj.c_traj.c_trajectory.TrajectoryCpptraj, pytraj.shared_trajectory.SharedTrajectory

out-of-core trajectory holder.

Notes

It’s a bit tricky to pickle this class. As default, new TrajectoryIterator will use original trj filename and top filename. If set _pickle_topology to True, its Topology will be pickled (slow but more accurate if you change the topology in the fly)

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> from pytraj.testing import get_fn
>>> traj_name, top_name = get_fn('tz2')
>>> traj = pt.TrajectoryIterator(traj_name, top_name)
>>> # user should always use :method:`pytraj.iterload` to load TrajectoryIterator
>>> traj = pt.iterload(['remd.x.000', 'remd.x.001'], 'input.parm7')

Parameters:

start : int, default 0

stop : {None, int}, default None

if None, iterate to final frame

step : int, default 1

mask : {None, str}, default None

if None, use all atoms. If not None, use given mask

strip(mask)
superpose(mask='*', ref=None, ref_mask='', mass=False)

register to superpose to reference frame when iterating. To turn off superposing, set traj._being_transformed = False

Notes

This method is different from superpose in pytraj.Trajectory. It does not change the coordinates of TrajectoryCpptraj/TrajectoryIterator itself but changing the coordinates of copied Frame.

This method is mainly for NGLView in Jupyter notebook, to view out-of-core data. It’s good to do translation and rotation on the fly.

Examples

>>> import pytraj as pt
>>> traj = pt.datafiles.load_tz2()
>>> isinstance(traj, pt.TrajectoryIterator)
True
>>> traj[0].xyz[0]
array([-1.88900006,  9.1590004 ,  7.56899977])
>>> # turn on superpose
>>> _ = traj.superpose(ref=-1, mask='@CA')
>>> traj[0].xyz[0]
array([ 6.97324167,  8.82901548,  1.31844696])
>>> # turn off superpose
>>> traj._being_transformed = False
>>> traj[0].xyz[0]
array([-1.88900006,  9.1590004 ,  7.56899977])

Example for NGLView:

import pytraj as pt, nglview as nv
traj = pt.datafiles.load_tz2()
traj.superpose(ref=0, mask='@CA')
view = nv.show_pytraj(traj)
view
