Geometricus Represents Protein Structures as Shape-mers derived from Moment Invariants

A structure-based, alignment-free embedding approach for proteins. Can be used as input to machine learning algorithms.

See the documentation.

Installation

Geometricus is a Python (3.7+) package with NumPy, SciPy, Numba and ProDy as dependencies.

Install with pip install geometricus

Usage
