Kabsch
Intro
The Kabsch algorithm uses linear and vector algebra to find the optimal rotation and translation of two sets of points in N-dimensional space as to minimize the RMSD between them. The following program is a Python implementation of the Kabsch algorithm.
This program when called will align the two selections, optimally, convert the proteins in the selection to ribbons and change the color of the selections to show the matched alignments.
WHAT THIS DOESN'T DO: This program does NOT provide a pairwise alignment of two structures from scratch. You have to tell it what the equivlanced items are. See Cealign.
NOTE: This has NOT been tested on any other machine than mine, by me. It works on all PyMols 0.97 and newer (haven't tested earlier versions) and I use Python 2.3's Numeric Version 23.3.
NOTE: I have added new Kabsch code. The new code uses SVD, and fixed an old bug. For ease of use, try the new code (requires numpy, though).
To use
- Save this script to Kabsch.py
- Open PyMol
- Load the alignment script: run Kabsch.py (The command optAlign is now defined in PyMol.)
- Load your proteins
- Align the proper segments (see below examples)
To align two equivalent sets of residues do:
optAlign SEL1 and n. CA and i. a-b, SEL2 and n. CA and c-d
where
- SEL1 is the first protein
- a-b is the range of residues to align in the first protein
- SEL2 is the second protein
- c-d is the range of residues to align in the second protein
Caveats
- Ensure that you're equivalencing N atoms to N atoms (run Count_Atoms over your two selections to ensure they are the same length).
- Sometimes PyMol doesn't seem to superimpose them right the first time. Hit the up-arrow and rerun the program if this happens. It always superimposes the correctly the second time. I think it has something to do with the orientation. I'll fix this when I find the error.
- The RMSD is only between the equivlanced atoms. Use PyMol's Rms_Cur if you want a full RMSD.
- Make sure your atom selections are numbered correctly. Many times PDB files start residue numbers at something other than 0 or 1. To ensure you're aligning the right things, do to turn on the sequence viewer and double check your residue numbers. If a protein has residue one numbered as something other than one, say 2064, simply run
set seq_view,1
and thenalter (SEL), resi=str(int(resi)-2064)
where SEL is the name of the protein and 2064 is the offset to adjust by. Your protein will now work as needed. See Alter.sort
Notes
- Windows users are having problems running the script. Python tells them first off "TypeError: Can't convert rank-0 arrays to Python scalars." The fix to that breaks some code in Numeric -- which I don't maintain.
- However, to make this work, you can change the code in Numeric.py supplied with Pymol, located in the folder "<Pymol Home>\modules\Numeric\" (for example: "C:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\modules\Numeric").
Essentially, you need to search for the line:and replace it with:if axis2 < 0: axis2 = axis1 + n # (should be around line 250)
if axis2 < 0: axis2 = axis2 + n
Examples
optAlign 1cll and n. CA and i. 4-20+30-60, 1ggz and n. CA and i. 4-20+30-60
optAlign 1kao and n. CA and i. 20-50, 1ctq and n. CA and i. 20-50
1cll and 1ggz loaded
1cll and 1ggz aligned to residues 5-50+55-80 shown in red
You already need a sequence alignment to effectively run this program.
(This is VERY strongly recommended!!)
The Code
Update
I have reworked the code. The new code fixes the problem of rotating before translating, thus all alignments will be correct -- no need to run them twice. Also, this version uses SVD from the Numpy package.
Provided here for ease of use is the Python code. This plugs directly into PyMol as-is. Contact Jason dot Vertrees _at_ gmail _DoT_ com for questions or comments.

Steps
=====
1. Calculate the center of mass for each protein. Then, move the protein
to its center of mass. We choose as a convention, to use the origin as
the center of mass of the first set of coordinates. This will allow us to
return one translation vector, instead of two.
Update: Since any rotation around a point that's not the origin, is in fact
an affine rotation. So, to beat that, we translate both to the center.
NAME: superpose(c1, c2)
POST: T is now defined.
2. Calculate the matrix, R, by (eq7, 1976). r_{i,j} = sum_n w_n * y_{ni} * x_{nj},
where y_{ni} is the ith component of the vector y_n.
NAME: calcR
POST: R is now defined
3. Calculate RtR (R-transpose * R).
NAME: calcRtR
POST: RtR is now defined
4. Calculate the corresponding eigenpairs for RtR, and sort them accordingly:
m1 >= m2 >= m3; set v3 = v1 x v2 to ensure a RHS
NAME: calcEigenPairs
POST: The eigen pairs are calculated, sorted such that m1 >= m2 >= m3 and
v3 = v1 x v2.
5. Calculate R*v_k and normalize the first two vectors to obtain b_1, b_2 and set
b_3 = b_1 x b_2. This also takes care of m1 > m2 = 0.
NAME: calcBVectors
POST: b-Vectors are defined and returned
6. Calculate U=(u_{ij})=(sum n b_{ki} * a_{kj}) to obtain the best rotation. Set
sigma_3 = -1 if b3(Ra3) < 0 else sigma_3 = +1.
NAME: calcU
POST: U is defined
7. Calculate the RMSD. The residual error is then
The E = E0 - sqrt(m1) - sqrt(m2) - sigma_3(sqrt(m3)).
NAME: calcRMSD
POST: RMSD is computed.
@note: This should be a static method that takes three parameters
1. The first protein's coordinates, f. This program will
accept coordinates in the form an array of 3D vectors/lists
2. The second protein's coordinates, g.
3. The array of integer pairs representing the pairs to align.
Coordinates should be formatted as as array of 2D vectors/lists.
