public BindingFeatureImpl()

Method Detail

getModelInterface

public Class<? extends BindingFeature> getModelInterface()

Description copied from interface: BioPAXElement

This method returns the actual model interface that a class implements.

Specified by:

getModelInterface in interface BioPAXElement

Overrides:

getModelInterface in class EntityFeatureImpl

Returns:

an interface from org.biopax.paxtools.model package corresponding to a BioPAX class.

getBindsTo

public BindingFeature getBindsTo()

Description copied from interface: BindingFeature

A binding feature represents a "half" of the bond between two entities. This property points to another binding feature which represents the other half. The bond can be covalent or non-covalent.

Specified by:

getBindsTo in interface BindingFeature

Returns:

paired binding feature.

setBindsTo

public void setBindsTo(BindingFeature bindsTo)

This method will set the paired binding feature that binds to this feature. This method will preserve the symmetric bidirectional semantics. If not-null old feature's bindsTo will be set to null and if not null new feature's binds to will set to this

Specified by:

setBindsTo in interface BindingFeature

Parameters:

bindsTo - paired binding feature.

getIntraMolecular

public Boolean getIntraMolecular()

Description copied from interface: BindingFeature

IntraMolecular flag is true iff this binding feature represents a bond within the same molecule, for example a disulfide bond within the same molecule. A true value true implies that this.isEntityFeatureOf() == this.getBindsTo.isEntityFeatureOf() although the inverse is not true e.g a chain of actin proteins.

Specified by:

getIntraMolecular in interface BindingFeature

Returns:

true iff this binding feature represents a bond within the same molecule.

setIntraMolecular

public void setIntraMolecular(Boolean intramolecular)

Description copied from interface: BindingFeature

IntraMolecular flag is true iff this binding feature represents a bond within the same molecule, for example a disulfide bond within the same molecule. A true value implies that this.isEntityFeatureOf() == this.getBindsTo.isEntityFeatureOf() although the inverse is not true e.g a chain of actin proteins.

Specified by:

setIntraMolecular in interface BindingFeature

Parameters:

intramolecular - whether if this binding feature represents a bond within the same molecule.

semanticallyEquivalent

protected boolean semanticallyEquivalent(BioPAXElement element)

Overrides:

semanticallyEquivalent in class EntityFeatureImpl

equivalenceCode

public int equivalenceCode()

Description copied from interface: BioPAXElement

If two elements are equivalent, then their equivalence code should be the same.

Specified by:

equivalenceCode in interface BioPAXElement

Overrides:

equivalenceCode in class EntityFeatureImpl

Returns:

an integer that is same across all equivalent entities.
