pip install .

If you want to develop PRODIGY, check DEVELOPMENT for more details.
Usage
prodigy <pdb file> [--selection <chain1><chain2>]

To get a list of all the possible options.
$ prodigy --help
usage: prodigy [-h] [--distance-cutoff DISTANCE_CUTOFF] [--acc-threshold ACC_THRESHOLD] [--temperature TEMPERATURE]
[--contact_list] [--pymol_selection] [-q] [-V] [--selection A B [A,B C ...]]
structf

Binding affinity predictor based on Intermolecular Contacts (ICs).

Anna Vangone and Alexandre M.J.J. Bonvin,
Contacts-based prediction of binding affinity in protein-protein complexes.
eLife (2015)

positional arguments:
structf Structure to analyse in PDB or mmCIF format

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--distance-cutoff DISTANCE_CUTOFF
Distance cutoff to calculate ICs
--acc-threshold ACC_THRESHOLD
Accessibility threshold for BSA analysis
--temperature TEMPERATURE
Temperature (C) for Kd prediction
--contact_list Output a list of contacts
--pymol_selection Output a script to highlight the interface (pymol)
-q, --quiet Outputs only the predicted affinity value
-V, --version Print the version and exit.

Selection Options:

By default, all intermolecular contacts are taken into consideration,
a molecule being defined as an isolated group of amino acids sharing
a common chain identifier. In specific cases, for example
antibody-antigen complexes, some chains should be considered as a
single molecule.

Use the --selection option to provide collections of chains that should
be considered for the calculation. Separate by a space the chains that
are to be considered _different_ molecules. Use commas to include multiple
chains as part of a single group:

--selection A B => Contacts calculated (only) between chains A and B.
--selection A,B C => Contacts calculated (only) between chains A and C; and B and C.
--selection A B C => Contacts calculated (only) between chains A and B; B and C; and A and C.


--selection A B [A,B C ...]

Information about dependencies
The scripts rely on Biopython to validate the PDB structures and calculate
interatomic distances. freesasa, with the parameter
set used in NACCESS (Chothia, 1976), is also
required for calculating the buried surface area.
DISCLAIMER: given the different software to calculate solvent accessiblity, predicted
values might differ (very slightly) from those published in the reference implementations.
The correlation of the actual atomic accessibilities is over 0.99, so we expect these
differences to be very minor.
