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
proteinSequence to digest
outputDigestion products (peptides)
min_lengthMinimal length of reported products
max_lengthMaximal 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
proteinProtein sequence
pep_posStarting index of potential peptide
pep_lengthLength of potential peptide
ignore_missed_cleavagesDo not compare MC's of potential peptide to the maximum allowed MC's
allow_nterm_protein_cleavageRegard peptide as n-terminal of protein if it starts only at pos=1 or 2 and protein starts with 'M'
allow_random_asp_pro_cleavageAllow 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)
