model.residues -- all residues in the model

This is a standard Python list of all the residues in the model. This can be used to query individual residue properties (e.g. amino acid type) or to specify residues for use in restraints, etc.

Residues can be individually accessed in two ways:

• A string of the form 'RESIDUE_#[:CHAIN_ID]', where RESIDUE_# is a five character residue number as it occurs in the PDB file of a model, and the optional CHAIN_ID is the single character chain id as it occurs in the PDB file. For example, if 'm' is a model object, PDB residue '10' in chain 'A' is given by 'm.residues['10:A']'; if the chain has no chain id, 'm.residues['10']' would be sufficient. Note that the quotes are required to force the use of PDB numbers.

• By numeric index, starting from zero, in standard Python fashion. For example, if 'm' is a model object, 'm.residues[1]' is the second residue. Contrast with 'm.residues['1']' above, which returns the residue with PDB number '1'.

See Section 6.16 for more information about residue objects. See also model.residue_range(), for getting a contiguous range of residues.
