PDB-to-DistanceMap

Task

Convert PDB Co-ordinates to Distance Map

Basic Concept Needs to Know:

We can represent a tertiary (3D) protein structure as a contact map or distance matrix, which are both 2D-based representations of a 3D structure.

Code Description:

-> This code will download PDB files from RCSB website automatically and then will read these PDBs and using PDBParser, will generate 3D ( tertiary) protein structures.

-> In the next step, it will calculate distanc map/ matrix for each PDB so that, each 3D protein structure could be represent as 2D distance map. We can crop each distance map to any size (example: 64 by 64, 20 by 20 etc.) if needed.

Requirement:

Install BioPython: pip install biopython
