NAME
SPStrGen.pl - Generate structures for Sphingophospholipids (SP)
SYNOPSIS
SPStrGen.pl SPAbbrev|SPAbbrevFileName ...
SPStrGen.pl [-h, --help] [-o, --overwrite] [-r, --root rootname] [-w, --workingdir dirname] <arguments>...
DESCRIPTION
Generate Sphingophospholipids (SP) structures using compound abbreviations specified on a command line or in a CSV/TSV Text file. All the command line arguments represent either compound abbreviations or file name containing abbreviations. Use mode option to control the type of command line arguments.
A SD file, containing structures for all SP abbreviations along with ontological information, is generated as an output.
SUPPORTED ABBREVIATIONS
Current support for SP structure generation include these main classes and sub classes:
o Sphingoid bases
. Sphinganines
. 4-Hydroxysphinganines (Phytosphingosines)
. Sphingoid base homologs and variants
. Sphingoid base 1-phosphates
. Lysosphingomyelins and lysoglycosphingolipids
o Sphingoid bases
. Sphinganines
. 4-Hydroxysphinganines (Phytosphingosines)
. Sphingoid base homologs and variants
. Sphingoid base 1-phosphates
. Lysosphingomyelins and lysoglycosphingolipids
. Sphingoid base analogs
o Ceramides
. N-acylsphinganines (dihydroceramides)
. N-acyl-4-hydroxysphinganines (phytoceramides)
. Ceramide 1-phosphates
o Phosphosphingolipids
. Ceramide phosphoethanolamines
. Ceramide phosphoinositols
o Neutral glycosphingolipids
. GalNAcb1-3Gala1-4Galb1-4Glc- (Globo series)
. GalNAcb1-4Galb1-4Glc- (Ganglio series)
. Galb1-3GlcNAcb1-3Galb1-4Glc- (Lacto series)
. Galb1-4GlcNAcb1-3Galb1-4Glc- (Neolacto series)
. GalNAcb1-3Gala1-3Galb1-4Glc- (Isoglobo series)
. GlcNAcb1-2Mana1-3Manb1-4Glc- (Mollu series)
. GalNAcb1-4GlcNAcb1-3Manb1-4Glc- (Arthro series)
. Gal- (Gala series)
o Acidic glycosphingolipids
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
Print this help message
- -m, --mode Abbrev|AbbrevFileName
-
Controls interpretation of command line arguments. Two different methods are provided: specify compound abbreviations or a file name containing compound abbreviations. Possible values: Abbrev or AbbrevFileName. Default: Abbrev
-
In AbbrevFileName mode, a single line in CSV/TSV files can contain multiple compound abbreviations. The file extension determines delimiter used to process data lines: comma for CSV and tab for TSV. For files with TXT extension, only one compound abbreviation per line is allowed.
-
Wild card character, *, is also supported in compound abbreviations.
-
Examples:
-
Specific structures: Cer(d18:0/0:0) Cer(d18:1(4E)/0:0) Cer(d19:1(4E)/24:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z))
Specific structures: SM(d18:0/16:0) SM(d19:0/24:1(15Z))
Specific possibilities: Cer(*/0:0) Cer(d18:1(4E)/*)
All possibilites: *(*:*/*:*) or *(*/*) -
With wild card character, +/- can also be used for chain lengths to indicate even and odd lengths at sn1/sn2/sn3 positions; additionally > and < qualifiers are also allowed to specify length requirements. Examples:
-
Odd and even number chains at sn1 and sn2: *(*-:*/*+:*)
Odd and even number chains at sn1 and sn2 with length longer than 18 and 22: *(*->18:*/*+>22:*) - -o, --overwrite
-
Overwrite existing files
- -r, --root rootname
-
New file name is generated using the root: <Root>.sdf. Default for new file names: SPAbbrev.sdf, <AbbrevFilenName>.sdf, or <FirstAbbrevFileName>1To<Count>.sdf.
- -w, --workingdir dirname
-
Location of working directory. Default: current directory
EXAMPLES
On some systems, command line scripts may need to be invoked using perl -s SPStrGen.pl; however, all the examples assume direct invocation of command line script works.
