I have thousands of PDB files and I need to extract the following information from each of them: an ID or the name of the small molecule (ligand) present in the complex.

Is there a way to do that with BioPython or similar tools? Taking this PDB entry as an example, the tools should return 7FM.

  • $\begingroup$ Can you please edit your question and include some examples and the output you would want from them? That way, we can test our solutions using your examples and we can be sure to give you the output you need. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The PDB entry states that the ligand is 7FM. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Anyway use the MMCIF2Dict tool to extract the information from the header via the PDB module of BioPython. If it's not in the header you can't do it because XML is not supported (not currently supported). Goodluck $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ And how do you use this function? $\endgroup$ Oct 27 at 20:20
  • $\begingroup$ question is not clear anymore is the author referring to files a s PDB format or PDBx/mmcif format ? In case of the former Biopython can get the name of an HETATM residue see files.rcsb.org/view/5TO8.pdb $\endgroup$

I found out that the package PyPDB has the function get_ligands that does exactly what I'm looking for.

my attempt, will get only non water (H2O) or non aa (aminoacid) present in the PDB .... tricky if the ligand is an aa :

from Bio.PDB import PDBParser

from Bio.PDB import Selection

     'ALA': 'A', 'VAL':'V', 'GLU': 'E', 'TYR': 'Y', 'MET': 'M'}

pdb_file = '5to8'

struct = PDBParser(QUIET = True).get_structure(pdb_file, pdb_file+'.pdb')

res_list = Selection.unfold_entities(struct , 'R')

for i in res_list :
    
    if i.resname != 'HOH' and i.resname not in d :
    
        print(i, i.resname)

output :
