T008-T010: Cannot download PDB structure via MMTF API anymore

[Q84-wq]

Hello, I want to notice that the support of mmtf.rcsb.org is no longer available, so the function mmtf.fetch() in opencadd.Structure doesn't work anymore. I ask you, please, change this code so it can work. If you know the avaliable url for mmtf library, I could change it in utils/constants, so I can use these talktorials. It returns me Errno 11001: gaierror and URLError Terminal: pip install mmtf-python Console: import mmtf mmtf.fetch('4TRO')

4TRO is for example

Hello,

Many thanks for reporting this to us. Apparently the MMTF format is no longer supported by the RCSB and replaced by the BCIF format. https://www.rcsb.org/news/feature/65a1af31c76ca3abcc925d0c

Hence, also the mmtf package, which is a Python implementation of the MMTF API, is not in use any more.

We will have a look how to use the BCIF API instead.

As the corresponding function in opencadd‘s Structure object mimics mdanalysis‘ Universe object, I think we also have to check in there. https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/blob/develop/package/MDAnalysis/coordinates/MMTF.py#L56

@AndreaVolkamer is there anyone in your lab who can take a look at this or even has already dealt with this?

Many thanks!

I also noticed that I couldn't install package teachopencadd where was function seed_everything () because of the tensorflow-base.2.18.0 (something like this). Conda told me that I had corrupted file, pip told me that there was parse-function problem(if I remember correctly). I only want to say that I could resolve this problem with the help of pip install pytorch-lightning=1.7.7, where pytorch-lightning utilities.seed had the same function.

I am sorry for interrupting, I also have a question, when can the problem with mmtf package be resolved (changing the library, I mean)? Anyway, thank you very much for noticing my message_s!

Hi @Q84-wq, I moved this issue to a stand-alone issue: https://github.com/volkamerlab/teachopencadd/issues/421.

Hi @Q84-wq,

I cannot give a good timeline as it is holiday season for most people in the lab atm and I am on mat leave. I'd think a couple of weeks at least to get all the updates in. I am very sorry for the inconvenience!
