Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

Functions for reading a coiled coil prediction models from a file into a CCModel object and writing a CCModel object to a file.

1 2	readCCModel(file) writeCCModel(object, file)

`file`	the name of the file from which `readCCModel` should read the model / the name of the file to which `writeCCModel` should write the model
`object`	the `CCModel` object that `writeCCModel` should write to a file

The procoil package comes with two ready-made models for oligomerization prediction, PrOCoilModel and PrOCoilModelBA. In case the user wants to define custom models or wishes to use previous versions of the prediction models, the functions readCCModel and writeCCModel can be used to read/write models from/to plain text files that can be viewed and also modified.

writeCCModel writes models in the following format:

    _b,-1.07262284445085
    _m,5
    _scaling,1
    L...Vd...a,1.63626232200227
    R....Eg....e,1.5382098040217
    R.Ec.e,1.29025032360792
    E..Ve..a,1.22837780239385
    ...

Correspondingly, readCModel expects the file to conform to the above format. See CCModel for an overview of model parameters and an explanation of patterns and weights.

Upon successful completion, readCCModel returns a CCModel object. writeCCModel returns an invisible NULL.

The PrOCoil model is available on on http://www.bioinf.jku.at/software/procoil/PrOCoilModel_v2.CCModel. in exactly the format the function readCCModel requires. Analogously for the alternative model optimized for balanced accuracy (see CCModel): http://www.bioinf.jku.at/software/procoil/PrOCoilModelBA_v2.CCModel. The original models described in [Mahrenholz et al., 2011] are available on http://www.bioinf.jku.at/software/procoil/PrOCoilModel_v1.CCModel and http://www.bioinf.jku.at/software/procoil/PrOCoilModelBA_v1.CCModel, respectively. So, by loading one of these files, the original models can still be used.
