About

This package provides plotting functions for protein structures, multiple sequence alignments, and some other related plots like protein structure contact maps. It also provides more complicated examples that show off additional functionality and interfaces. The main plotting functions are plotstruc and plotmsa, along with their mutating versions, plotstruc! and plotmsa!.

using BioMakie
using GLMakie
using BioStructures
struc = retrievepdb("2vb1") |> Observable
## or
struc = read("2vb1.pdb", BioStructures.PDBFormat) |> Observable

fig = Figure()
plotstruc!(fig, struc; plottype = :ballandstick, gridposition = (1,1), atomcolors = aquacolors)
plotstruc!(fig, struc; plottype = :covalent, gridposition = (1,2))

To view a multiple sequence alignment, use the plotmsa function with a Pfam MSA or fasta file.

using FASTX
reader = open(FASTX.FASTA.Reader, "PF00062_full.fasta")
msa = [reader...] |> Observable
close(reader)
## or 
using MIToS.MSA
msa = read_file("pf00062.stockholm.gz", Stockholm)

fig = plotmsa(msa; colorscheme = :tableau_blue_green)

Other examples

Alpha shapes can be used to visualize the surface of a protein structure

Database information can be displayed for a protein (including a GPT response, OpenAI.jl)
