connection_test

This test queries for the presence or absence of covalent bonds. The general interresidue test type will count the number of covalent bonds between atoms on different residues within the stipulated selection. The disulfide test specifically tests for interresidue bonds between atoms named SG in residues named CYS. The glycosylation test will count the number of bonds between ND2 atoms in the selection and C1 atoms outside the selection.

Single-valued attributes:

  • name: User-selected name of this connection test

  • selection: VMD atomselection string defining the selection to be tested

  • connection_type: The type of connection to validate; interresidue, disulfide, or glycosylation

  • connection_count: The expected number of connections in the selection
