detectResidueType

public static ResidueInformationProvider detectResidueType(String residueName,
                                                           Set<AtomName> atomNames)

Detects the type of residue by its name or atom content. Works by checking if there is a ribose or protein backbone among the atoms. Then it finds the most similar nucleobase or protein sidechain respectively.

Parameters:

residueName - The name of the residue.

atomNames - The names of atoms in the residue.

Returns:

An instance of class with all details about the residue type.
