This may be a big favor as I want you to help me write a complete script, but I appreciate anyone helping me in it and assure you that your answers help science improve :)

If you don't have the time, please just name the commands that I need to learn their manuals (but I still will need to know how to relate each command to the other)

I am working on some proteins, and each of them has a unique name (like 2DMS). These proteins have a text file describing their properties. I need to cut through this text for each protein, cut from the first line starting with "ATOM" to the end of the line starting from "TER", and type a " ' " in the end. Then rename the output file to the protein ID (2DMS). Here you can see a sample: (Normally the file name is just the protein ID, in this case= 2DMS.)

http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/download/downloadFile.do?fileFormat=pdb&compression=NO&structureId=2DMS

you can open it as a text file.

Then the script needs to modify the following and rename it to CURL_2DMS (2DMS is replaced with each protein ID):

curl LINK/idock/jobs -d '&description=2DMS&email=myemailaddress@gmail.com&center_x=150&center_y=109&center_z=22&size_x=18&size_y=17&size_z=15&mwt_lb=390&mwt_ub=420&lgp_lb=1&lgp_ub=3&nrb_lb=4&nrb_ub=6&hbd_lb=2&hbd_ub=4&hba_lb=4&hba_ub=6&chg_lb=0&chg_ub=0&ads_lb=0&ads_ub=10&pds_lb=-40&pds_ub=0&psa_lb=60&psa_ub=80&receptor=ATOM      1  N   PRO A  19     148.930 114.148   5.178  1.00138.31           N  
ATOM      2  CA  PRO A  19     149.869 115.263   5.360  1.00138.99           C  
ATOM      3  C   PRO A  19     151.021 115.224   4.348  1.00144.31           C  
ATOM      4  O   PRO A  19     150.914 114.542   3.320  1.00144.78           O  
ATOM      5  CB  PRO A  19     150.357 115.076   6.800  1.00138.04           C  
ATOM      6  CG  PRO A  19     149.222 114.376   7.496  1.00140.40           C  
ATOM      7  CD  PRO A  19     148.354 113.704   6.460  1.00137.06           C  
TER    2743      GLN A 313                                                      
'

As you can see, the curl has these 5 strings which need to be modified for each protein:

description= “protein ID”
center_x= “column 1”
center_y= “column 2”
center_z= “column 3”
receptor= “the protein_ID.txt which was produced in the first step”

The columns 1,2,3 exist in a file named coordinates.csv

Then I need the script to run each and every CURL_proten_ID file ( Let’s guess each job in the website takes 3 hours to be completed, I need the script to run each curl in a 3-hours period). Then the script should go to [this link][1] and search for the protein_ID (like 2DMS) and copy the string of _id (in this example: 567048e420d3a8813691c534). Then it should download a CSV file with this link with wget (or alternatives) and replace the _id:

websitelink/567048e420d3a8813691c534 (_id) /log.csv.gz

example:

{"0":244,"1":1656,"2":1072,"3":2039,"4":2642,"5":2750,"6":83,"7":286,"8":371,"9":487,"_id":"567048e420d3a8813691c534","description":"2DMS","ligands":11630,"scheduled":10,"submitted":"2015-12-15T17:07:48.729Z","done":"2015-12-15T17:20:53.143Z"},

Then I need the script to rename the downloaded file to 2DMS( ID)_log.csv.gz

Then I am grateful for your time which you put in this project :)

**Here is the algorithm for the job:

  1. Open the protein file (PDB)

  2. Delete all the lines upper than the first line containing “ATOM”

  3. Delete all the lines lower than the last line containting “TER”

  4. Rename the file to PDB.txt

  5. Make a new CURL.txt file

  6. Rename it to PDB_curl.txt

  7. Copy the following into PDB_curl.txt :

    curl LINK/idock/jobs -d '&description=PDB&email=myemailaddress@gmail.com&center_x=xcenter&center_y=ycenter&center_z=zcenter&size_x=18&size_y=17&size_z=15&mwt_lb=390&mwt_ub=420&lgp_lb=1&lgp_ub=3&nrb_lb=4&nrb_ub=6&hbd_lb=2&hbd_ub=4&hba_lb=4&hba_ub=6&chg_lb=0&chg_ub=0&ads_lb=0&ads_ub=10&pds_lb=-40&pds_ub=0&psa_lb=60&psa_ub=80&receptor=RECEPTOR_DISCRIPTION'
    
  8. Change the “PDB” to the protein ID (PDB)

  9. Copy PDB.txt and replace the “RECEPTOR_DISCRIPTION”

  10. Open coordinates.csv

  11. for each PDB, copy coulmn1 and replace “xcenter” with it

  12. for each PDB, copy coulmn2 and replace “ycenter” with it

  13. for each PDB, copy coulmn3 and replace “zcenter” with it

  14. close and save PDB_CURL.txt

  15. Run PDB_CURL

  16. Wait for 3 hours

  17. Search through this link: {link/idock/jobs} for PDB

  18. Copy the next string after “_id” in that line

  19. Replace the “_id” in this link with the copied text : link/idock/jobs/_id /log.csv.gz

  20. Download the link via wget

  21. Rename the downloaded file to PDB_log.csv.gz

  22. Repeat the upper commands until every PDB_log.csv.gz is downloaded

  23. If there is an error, skip that job completely and copy that PDB to “errors.log”**

  • I think python is a great tool here, and I am pretty sure all can be done. However, I have a slow brain, and I am having a bit problems digging through the verbose textual explanation. Could you make it schematically explained, like 1. do this, 2. do that, and so on? Not sure if I have enough time, but it will increase the chance anyone will dive into it I guess.

  • Thank you dear Jacob :) I edited the question with the algorithm as you can see (couldn't post a large comment). Dec 17, 2015 at 13:39
  • I think, this is far too broad for AU. Dec 17, 2015 at 14:27
  • What is AU David? Dec 17, 2015 at 14:44
  • @FarbodShahabi ask ubuntu, and I think you should split this up into smaller questions of what you need help with. Dec 17, 2015 at 16:41

Not sure about #22 and #23
Please check that the commands do what they are supposed to since I had some trouble understanding the objective. man <command> can be used, or a google search.

  • But just one thing, I have a set of proteins (PDBs). does this script run through them all if i replace the "pdb2dms.ent" to "*.ent" simultaneously or one by one per 3 hours ? Dec 17, 2015 at 18:24
  • As it is now, it will do the curl for each line individually, and then sleep for 3 hours. If you'd like it to be 3 hours per curl instruction, simply place the sleep 3h inside the for loop(just above the done) Dec 17, 2015 at 18:39
  • I can't thank you in words. Have a virtual hug :) Dec 17, 2015 at 18:43
  • Didn't see the checkmark :) Dec 17, 2015 at 18:56
  • Is it right for this line? : receptor=RECEPTOR_DISCRIPTION' > *_curl.txt does it copy the text of *_curl.txt and replace the RECEPTOR_DISCRIPTION? Dec 17, 2015 at 18:57
