Tim, what's the story on this:

class AminoPolymer:

  /*
   * New code for assigning secondary structure based on
   * phi-psi angles instead of hydrogen bond patterns.
   *
   * old code is commented below the new.
   *
   * molvisions 2005 10 12

   */

  void calculateStructures() {
    calcHydrogenBonds();
....


If hydrogen bonding is not used for the calculation anymore, why calcHydrogenBonds()?

Is the comment wrong, or is the calculation unnecessary?


hi Bob,

the comment is correct. the hydrogen bond calculation is unnecessary in the current implementation of calculateStructures().

my goal was to use a combination of phi-psi angles and hydrogen bonding patterns to provide a more accurate secondary structure assignment routine. as it turns out, the phi-psi angles do an excellent job on their own.

it is possible that a future modification to calculateStructures() might require hydrogen bonds, but I think for now it can be commented out.
