IDPEnsembleTools: An Open-Source Library for Analysis of Conformational Ensembles of Disordered Proteins
IDPEnsembleTools is a Python package designed to facilitate the loading, analysis, and comparison of multiple conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).
It supports various input formats such as .pdb, .xtc, and .dcd, and enables users to extract both global and local structural features, perform dimensionality reduction, and compute similarity scores between ensembles.

Documentation
Full documentation is available at:
https://bioComputingUP.github.io/EnsembleTools
Features
With IDPEnsembleTools, you can:
Extract global features of structural ensembles:
- Radius of gyration (Rg)
- Asphericity
- Prolateness
- End-to-end distance
Extract local features:
- Interatomic distances
- Phi–psi angles
- Alpha-helix content
Perform dimensionality reduction on ensemble features:
- PCA
- UMAP
- t-SNE
Compare structural ensembles using:
- Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence
- Visualize similarity matrices
Example Notebooks
The notebooks/ directory contains a collection of Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate how to use the EnsembleTools package. These examples cover key functionalities such as ensemble comparison, dimensionality reduction (PCA, t-SNE, UMAP), feature extraction, and visualization customization. They serve both as tutorials and reproducible workflows for analyzing disordered protein ensembles.

Installation
It is recommended to install idpet in a clean virtual environment to avoid conflicts with existing packages.
🔹 Option 1: Using conda (if you use Anaconda/Miniconda)
```bash
Create and activate a new conda environment
conda create -n idpet-env python=3.9 conda activate idpet-env
Install the package from PyPI
pip install idpet ```
🔹 Option 2: Using venv (standard Python)
```bash
Create a new virtual environment (Python 3.7+)
python -m venv idpet-env
Activate the environment
On Linux/macOS:
source idpet-env/bin/activate
On Windows:
idpet-env\Scripts\activate
Upgrade pip and install the package
pip install --upgrade pip pip install idpet ```
Developer Installation (from source)
bash
git clone https://github.com/BioComputingUP/EnsembleTools.git
cd idpet
pip install -e .
