**PBxplore** is a suite of tools dedicated to Protein Block (PB) analysis.
Protein Blocks are structural prototypes defined by
`de Brevern et al `_. The 3-dimensional local
structure of a protein backbone can be modelized as an 1-dimensional sequence of PBs.
In principle, any conformation of any amino acid could be represented by one of
the sixteen available Protein Blocks (see Figure 1).

PBxplore provides both a Python library and command-line tools. Basically, PBxplore can:

* **assign PBs** from a single PDB, many PDBs or a molecular dynamics simulation trajectory.
* use analysis tools to perform **statistical analysis** on PBs.
* use analysis tools to **study protein flexibility and deformability**.

Requirements
------------

PBxplore requires:

* Python 3.x (>= 3.6)
* Python modules: `NumPy `_, `Matplotlib `_, `MDAnalysis `_ (version >= 0.11).

Optionally, PBxplore can use:

* `WebLogo 3 `_ to create logo from PB sequences.

Installation
------------

Once dependencies installed, the most straightforward way is to use `pip`:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install pbxplore

PBxplore can also be installed for the current user only:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install --user pbxplore
