Method Detail

getBindsTo

BindingFeature getBindsTo()

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.

Returns:

paired binding feature.

setBindsTo

void setBindsTo(BindingFeature bindsTo)

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.

Parameters:

bindsTo - paired binding feature.

getIntraMolecular

Boolean getIntraMolecular()

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.

Returns:

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

setIntraMolecular

void setIntraMolecular(Boolean intramolecular)

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.

Parameters:

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