设计并编写一个可以检测称为TMscanner.py的跨膜域的程序。这个程序应该调用你写的其他两个函数:getProteinRegion应该返回一个十个氨基酸的窗口(最初抓取氨基酸1-10,下一次2-20,等等)TMscanner也应该重复调用第二个函数testForTM,该函数应计算并返回非极性的十个氨基酸的小数部分。非极性氨基酸是[A,V,L,I,P,M,F,W]

示例:

protein = 'AVLIPMFWGSTNQYDEKRH' #Only the first 9 are nonpolar
results = tmScanner(protein)
print "Results are", results

应打印出来:

Results are [.8, .7, .6, .5, .4, .3, .2, .1, 0, 0]

-     #Test code

def getProteinRegion(protein, start):
#return first 10 aa in protein
    return protein[start:start+10]

def testForTM(protein):
#return ratio of nonpolar aa from a sample of first 10; move them up one step and repeat
    nonpolar = 0
    for aa in getProteinRegion(protein, start):
        if aa in ['A', 'V', 'L', 'I', 'P', 'M', 'F', 'W']:
            nonpolar = nonpolar + 1.0
    return nonpolar / 10.0


def tmSCANNER(protein):
#while the tested in testForTM is less than 10, append testforTM function to results; print results
    results = []
    start = 0
    while start <= 10:
        results = results.append(testForTM(protein))
        return results
        start = start + 1

##TESTING

#print getProteinRegion('AVLIPMFWGSTCNQYDEKRH')
#print testForTM('AVLIPMFW')
print tmSCANNER('AVLIPMFWGSTCNQYDEKRH')

答案 0 :(得分:1)

您的函数testForTM没有start参数,也没有声明名为start的局部变量,但却调用getProteinRegion(protein, start)。因此,Python假设您必须使用全局 - 但您也没有具有该名称的全局。所以它提出了一个例外。

您可能想要的是添加start作为参数:

def testForTM(protein, start):

然后,在tmSCANNER内的调用代码中,有一个名为start的局部变量,这可能是您要通过的值作为start参数:

results = results.append(testForTM(protein, start))
