Greetings fellow monks. I have picked up perl for my bioinformatics class and im struggling with an assignment. So the gist is I need to write a program that reads a pdb flat file (https://files.rcsb.org/view/6U9D.pdb) and I want to essentially turn it into a FASTA file as well as calculate the geometric center of the atoms using the xyz coordinates the file provides. Now the first part, I have no trouble with. This is the code I have tried so far:
$k=0;
open (IN, '6U9D.pdb.txt');
%amino_acid_conversion = (ALA=>'A',TYR=>'Y',MET=>'M',LEU=>'L',CYS=>'C'
+,GLY=>'G', ARG=>'R',ASN=>'N',ASP=>'D',GLN=>'Q',GLU=>'E',HIS=>'H',TRP=
+>'W',LYS=>'K',PHE=>'F',PRO=>'P',SER=>'S',THR=>'T',ILE=>'I',VAL=>'V');
while (<IN>) {
if ($_=~m/HEADER\s+(.*)/){
print ">$1\n"; }
if ($_=~m/^SEQRES\s+\d+\s+\w+\s+\d+\s+(.*)/){
$seq.=$1;
$seq=~s/ //g;}
}
#THIS IS THE PART I CANT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT
for ($i=0;$i<=length $seq; $i+=3) {
print "$amino_acid_conversion{substr($seq,$i,3)}"; #All seems well wit
+h the sequence I get the desired output
$k++;}
print "\n";
if ($_=~m/^ATOM\s+\d+\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+\d+\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/){
+ #the parentheses are the xyz coordinates respectively
$x+=$1;
$y+=$2;
$z+=$3;
}
$xgk=($x/$k); $ygk=($y/$k); $zgk=($z/$k);
print "$xgk $ygk $zgk \n";
The total outpud I get is the sequence and three zeroes. It seems like its not even reading the coordinates? Not sure there... If any of you can share your wisdom I'd appreciate it! Oh and since this is an assignment please use the commands I have here, since this is what I have been taught so far.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
