ZClass
:: DESCRIPTION
ZClass (Zernike Class) is a Python object that takes input from a Protein Databank (PDB) file and converts it to a voxelised image. The voxelised image can then expressed in terms of an expansion in a basis set of Zernike polynomials which can be used to make rapid comparisons between different protein shapes.
