Detailed Description

Representation of a modification on an amino acid residue.

This class represents a modification of a Residue. A residue modification has several attributes like the diff formula, a terminal specificity, a mass and maybe an origin which means a specific residue which it can be applied to. A residue modification can be represented by its Unimod name identifier (Id), e.g. "Oxidation (M)" or "Oxidation". This is a unique key which only occurs once in an OpenMS instance stored in the ModificationsDB.

Example: methionine sulfoxide formation by oxidation of methionine

Function              | Result
----------------------------------------------------
getFullId()           | "Oxidation (M)"
getId()               | "Oxidation"
getFullName()         | "Oxidation or Hydroxylation"
getUniModAccession()  | "UniMod:312"

Note that some modifications are not explicitly defined from an input file but get added on the fly when reading amino acid sequences with bracket notation, e.g. "PEPTX[999]IDE". If there is no known modification corresponding to the indicated mass, then a new ResidueModification will be created which will return the initial string through "getFullId()" – which will either be "[999]" for internal modifications or ".[999]" for N/C-terminal modifications. Please use "isUserDefined" to check for user-defined modifications (those without 'Id' but with a 'FullId').

Member Function Documentation

◆ addSynonym()

void addSynonym ( const String & synonym )

adds a synonym to the unique list

◆ combineMods()

static const ResidueModification* combineMods	(	const ResidueModification *	base,
		const std::set< const ResidueModification * > &	addons,
		bool	allow_unknown_masses = `false`,
		const Residue *	residue = `nullptr`
	)

static

Merge a set of mods to a given modification (usually the one which is already present, but can be null)

If only one mod is combined in total, it is not changed to an unknown mod but remains a 'known' mod. If base is already contained in addons, it is not added again.

All mods given here must have the same term specificity and origin (which might be 'X', i.e. no restriction), otherwise a Precondition exception is thrown.

If base and addons is empty, a null_ptr is returned.

Parameters

base	An already present mod, can be a nullptr
addons	A set of mods to add on top of the mod.
allow_unknown_masses	If any input (incl. base) is already an unknown mass, nothing is done
residue	[only required for ANYWHERE term spec] Residue with further information (e.g. residue weights) for the new mod

Returns: A (new custom) mod, which is registered in ModificationsDB if needed.

Exceptions

Exception::Precondition if term spec or origins to not match between all given mods

◆ createUnknownFromMassString()

static const ResidueModification* createUnknownFromMassString	(	const String &	mod,
		const double	mass,
		const bool	delta_mass,
		const TermSpecificity	specificity,
		const Residue *	residue = `nullptr`
	)

static

Creates a new modification from a mass and adds it to ModificationsDB. If not terminal, needs a Residue to be put on.

Parameters

mod	The mass to put between the brackets (might contain +/- at the front)
mass	Basically, the same as mod, just as double (since usually both representations are present when calling this function and to avoid overhead??)
delta_mass	Is the given mass a delta mass (i.e. does `mod` contain a = or -)?
specificity	To which site can this mod be applied?
residue	[only required for ANYWHERE term spec] Residue with further information (e.g. residue weights) for the new mod

Returns: a new or existing mod; registered to ModDB in both cases, so the pointer is non-owning (FullId is e.g. M[+1234.1] and FullName [+1234.1]. Id and Name are empty as defined for a "user-defined" mod.
