Description

Read Protein Sequences in PDB Format

Usage

readPDB(file = system.file("protseq/4HHB.pdb", package = "BioMedR"))

Arguments

file

The name of the file which the sequences in PDB format are to be read from. If it does not contain an absolute or relative path, the file name is relative to the current working directory, getwd. The default here is to read the 4HHB.PDB file which is present in the protseq directory of the BioMedR package.
