AverageDegree

What is the average degree connectivity of a subset of residues? Found to be useful for discriminating non-interacting designs from natural complexes. Apparently, many non-interacting designs use surfaces that are poorly embedded in the designed monomer, a feature that can be easily captured by this simple metric. See Fleishman et al. J. Mol. Biol. 414:289

  • threshold: how many residues need to be on average in the sphere of each of the residues under scrutiny.
  • distance_threshold: Size of sphere around each residue under scrutiny.
  • task_operations: define residues under scrutiny (all repackable residues).
