mesh with surface descriptors?

Open johnnytam100 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi @a-r-j Happy 2023, I wish you great success with graphein and more!

I am trying to build a protein mesh with surface descriptors (e.g. hydrophobicity).

As an example, like what HTMD from Acellera can do (though it is voxelization but not meshing)

Does graphein have this functionality already?

Hi @johnnytam100, happy new year to you too!

At present, no, I don’t see an easy way to do that in Graphein. You could check out masif however. The original surface-based model used MSMS to compute the surface & then map features on to it.

See here: https://github.com/LPDI-EPFL/masif/blob/2a370518e0d0d0b0d6f153f2f10f6630ae91f149/source/triangulation/computeMSMS.py#L13

If you end up writing a nice solution feel free to make a PR! It’d be a great feature.
