Step 5 of docs/plans/2.0-proteins-and-trajectories.md: native trajectories, no new dependencies.

What it does

Multi-frame .xyz, multi-record .sdf and multi-MODEL .pdb files are treated as trajectories. Every frame is measured by its own run, with the neighbourhood crop recomputed per frame since neighbours move, so a frame costs the same as a single structure.

  • --frames start:stop:stride selects frames with Python slice rules on the 0-based index: 0:1000:10, ::5, 7:, a single or negative index, or a comma-separated list. Out-of-range frames report the file's frame count.
  • frame column in results and in the CSV, next to the existing structure label, so a time series is one table:
dbstep md_frames.pdb --residue A:45 --vbur --nowater --frames ::10 --csv vbur_A45.csv
  • Python: all_frames(file, frames="::10", residue="A:45", volume=True) returns one object per frame and composes with residue="all".
  • New dbstep/trajectory.py holds frame counting and --frames parsing; run_file() gathers all runs for one input (frames × residues) and is shared by main() and the Python helpers.

Fixture

tests/pdb_files/ala5_traj.pdb: 10 MODELs generated deterministically from ala5.pdb by the included make_ala5_traj.py. Frame k is rigidly translated by 0.7·k Å, and the first water moves from 4.8 to 3.0 Å from CA of residue 3, so %V_bur around A:3 must rise strictly with the frame index, and must be constant across frames with --nowater.

Tests (tests/test_trajectory.py, 24 new cases)

  • Frame spec parsing (10 forms) and errors; frame counts for pdb/xyz/single files; --frames on a single-structure file.
  • Strictly increasing %V_bur along the trajectory with the water, and identical L, Bmin, Bmax and %V_bur across frames without it (translation invariance).
  • --frames 2:8:2 selects frames 2, 4, 6, and each matches the MODEL extracted to its own file to 1e-9 with identical coordinates.
  • Frames × --residue all; multi-frame XYZ with ::7; CLI run with --csv (frame and structure columns, monotonic series); out-of-range message.

Full suite: 302 passed, ruff clean.

Binary formats (DCD, XTC, TRR) are step 6 behind an optional MDAnalysis extra; until then the README says to convert to multi-MODEL PDB or multi-frame XYZ.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added per-frame analysis for multi-frame XYZ, multi-record SDF, and multi-model PDB files, with options to select specific frames or analyze all frames.
    • Added access to per-frame results and included frame information in CSV output.
    • Added a sample PDB trajectory for exploring frame-by-frame analysis.
  • Documentation
    • Updated usage guidance for trajectory inputs, frame selection, and format limitations.

…e series

Step 5 of the proteins/trajectories plan.

- new dbstep/trajectory.py: frame counting for multi-frame xyz,
  multi-record sdf and multi-MODEL pdb; --frames with Python slice
  rules on the 0-based index (start:stop:stride, single or negative
  indices, comma lists)
- run_file() gathers all runs for one input (frames x residues) and is
  shared by main() and the Python helpers; all_frames(file, frames=...)
  is the Python side of --frames and composes with residue="all"
- results/CSV gain a "frame" column next to the structure label
- fixture ala5_traj.pdb (10 models, generated by make_ala5_traj.py):
  rigid translation per frame plus one water approaching CA of A:3
- tests: frame spec parsing and errors, frame counts, strictly rising
  %V_bur along the trajectory, translation invariance with --nowater,
  frame selection and equivalence with models extracted to their own
  files, frames x all residues, multi-frame xyz, CLI with --csv

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds frame counting and selection for multi-structure XYZ, SDF/MOL, and PDB/ENT inputs. The CLI and Python API run selected frames, and result rows and CSV output include frame metadata.

Changes

Trajectory processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame counting and selection
dbstep/trajectory.py, tests/test_trajectory.py, CLAUDE.md
Frame utilities count structures and select frames using slices, indices, comma-separated values, or integer lists and tuples. Tests cover defaults, negative indices, and invalid selections.
Per-frame execution and results
dbstep/Dbstep.py, dbstep/writer.py, README.md, tests/test_trajectory.py, tests/test_residue_all.py, tests/pdb_files/*, docs/plans/2.0-proteins-and-trajectories.md, CLAUDE.md
The CLI and all_frames run selected frames, including per-residue runs when residue="all". Results and CSV output include a frame field. Tests use a generated 10-model PDB trajectory and cover frame selection, calculations, and CLI output. Documentation describes supported formats and frame selection.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21aaf

Trajectory support mostly works, but three issues need fixing before merge. Python callers asking for frame 0 get every frame. A frame override passed to all_frames carries over into later calls that reuse the same options object. Saved tensors from multi-frame runs overwrite each other, so only the last frame's tensor is kept.

Give each saved tensor a frame-specific filename.

If a multi-frame run uses --tensor --save, this loop starts one calculation per frame. The tensor save in dbstep/Dbstep.py Line 159 writes every calculation to the same input-derived _tensor.npy path. Later frames overwrite earlier tensors. Include the selected frame in that output path so the requested frames remain available.

Restore options.frames after an explicit override.

If a caller supplies an options object, all_frames(file, frames="2", options=options) changes that object permanently. A later all_frames(file, options=options) still selects frame 2 instead of the object's original selection. Save and restore options.frames around run_file, as run_file already does for options.structure.

Treat integer frame 0 as a selection.

If a Python caller passes frames=0, 0 in (False, None, "") is true. parse_frames returns every frame instead of frame 0. Check the unset values by identity or type so integer 0 reaches the index parser.
