Please write a basic function using Python. Please comment all steps. Thank you!

Experimentally determined molecular structures are stored in the Protein Data Bank. Protein Data Bank format is a standard for files containing atomic coordinates which are stored in the “ATOM” record. Write a Python function to extract x coordinate of each atom for a given PDB file. Test your function with the provided “1a3d.pdb” file as the example. Also, give a good thought what would be the proper data type for x coordinate.

Contents of the 1a3d.pdb file:

First, let's understand the 1a3d.pdb file. This file contains the records in a specific format. For example, let's take the first record.

ATOM 1 N ASN A 1 57.429 52.566 66.234 1.00 11.00 N 

Each record in the file includes 12 elements that are described as follows:

ATOM: Description Name

1: Count

N: Element

ASN: Amino Acid

A: Chain Name

1: Sequential Number

57.429: X - Coordinate

52.566: Y - Coordinate

66.234: Z - Coordinate

1.00: Occupancy

11.00: Temperature factor

N: Atom Type

Hence, we can easily conclude that X-coordinate is stored in column number 7. Now, we know that coordinates are a matter of precision. Therefore, the correct data type for the molecular coordinates must be float or double.

Python code for the provided problem statement

# main
def main():
    
    # open the data file in read mode
    file = open('1a3d.pdb', 'r')
    
    # now, store each line of the data file to the list using readlines
    Lines = file.readlines() 
    
    # display headers for the output
    print("X-coordinate",'%20s'%'Data Type')
    
    # now, iterate each line one by one from the list
    for line in Lines:
        
        # initialize empty list that will store the elements of the current line 
        lst = []
        
        # now, store the elements of the line to the list
        # this will store element as strings
        lst = line.strip().split() 
        
        # we know that in the provide file format, X-coordinate is stored
        # at index 6, hence display that element
        print(lst[6], end='')
        
        # now, convert string to float
        temp = float(lst[6])
        
        # and then display the type of temp
        print('%30s' % type(temp))

# program start    
main()
