Description

Close the protein backbone and perform a Principal Component Analysis, This function formally prepares a protein for the computation of an invariant. It requires the protein structure as an object of class 'Knot'.

Usage

	closeAndProject(protein, ...)

Arguments

protein	an object of class 'Knot'
...	additional parameters to be passed to lower level functions (e.g. w for controlling the extension of the endpoints in centroidClosure

Value

an object of class 'Knot' containing the processed structure.
