Oliver Beckstein b928c18bab Re-packaged with setuptools for standard installation
* 'python setup.py install' will install
  - a package 'propka' (which contains everything that 'Source' contained
    in the original distribution)
  - an executable script 'propka31' (which is identical to the original
    'propka.py' script but it is automatically generated via the setuptools
    mechanism; it uses propka.run.main().
* 'pip install' will also work
* the README.md file was changed to reflect the alterations
* metadata in the setup.py file was added

NOTE: The licence is still unclear!

PROPKA 3.1

PROPKA predicts the pKa values of ionizable groups in proteins (version 3.0) and protein-ligand complexes (version 3.1) based on the 3D structure.

For proteins without ligands both version should produce the same result.

The method is described in the following papers, which you should cite in publications:

  • Sondergaard, Chresten R., Mats HM Olsson, Michal Rostkowski, and Jan H. Jensen. "Improved Treatment of Ligands and Coupling Effects in Empirical Calculation and Rationalization of pKa Values." Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation 7, no. 7 (2011): 2284-2295.

  • Olsson, Mats HM, Chresten R. Sondergaard, Michal Rostkowski, and Jan H. Jensen. "PROPKA3: consistent treatment of internal and surface residues in empirical pKa predictions." Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation 7, no. 2 (2011): 525-537.

See propka.ki.ku.dk for the PROPKA web server, using the tutorial.

Modifications

This release of PROPKA 3.1 was modified by Oliver Beckstein oliver.beckstein@asu.edu from the released version.

Installation

Clone repository or unpack the tar ball and install with setuptools (note: if you don't have setuptools installed you will need an internet connection so that the installation procedure can sownload the required files):

cd propka-3.1 python setup.py install --user

This will install the propka31 script in your executable directory, as configured for setuptools, for instance ~/.local/bin. You can change the bin directory with the --install-scripts option. For example, in order to install in my bin directory in my home directory:

python setup.py install --user --install-scripts ~/bin

Requirements

  • Python 2.7 or higher or Python 3.1 or higher

Getting started

  1. Clone the code from GitHub
  2. python setup.py install --user
  3. Run propka31 with a .pdb file (see Examples)

Examples

Calculate using pdb file

propka31 1hpx.pdb

Testing (for developers)

Please run Tests/runtest.py/ after changes before pushing commits.
