From b7f8bde2d02ec324942b6f813462ac5ac8867511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: j Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:02:23 +0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: replace charge proxy with Henderson-Hasselbalch net charge at pH 7.4 Add net_charge_at_ph74() using physiologically accurate pKa values (R: 12.5, K: 10.5, H: 6.5, D: 3.9, E: 4.1). His is partially protonated at pH 7.4 (~+0.11 vs +1.0 in proxy), correcting charge overestimation in 24/88 nominees containing His residues (~0.89 per His overestimation). - physchem.py: add net_charge_at_ph74(), expose net_charge_ph74 and charge_density_ph74 fields from compute_features() - activity.py: use charge_density_ph74 (falls back to charge_density for manually constructed dicts without the new field) - tests/test_net_charge_ph74.py: 24 tests covering His partial protonation, proxy comparison, neutral AA handling, and compute_features integration --- src/openamp_foundry/features/physchem.py | 32 ++++++ src/openamp_foundry/scoring/activity.py | 4 +- tests/test_net_charge_ph74.py | 130 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 tests/test_net_charge_ph74.py diff --git a/src/openamp_foundry/features/physchem.py b/src/openamp_foundry/features/physchem.py index ac392af1..28f7acb8 100644 --- a/src/openamp_foundry/features/physchem.py +++ b/src/openamp_foundry/features/physchem.py @@ -28,6 +28,35 @@ def net_charge_proxy(sequence: str) -> int: return sum(1 for aa in sequence if aa in POSITIVE) - sum(1 for aa in sequence if aa in NEGATIVE) +def net_charge_at_ph74(sequence: str) -> float: + """Net peptide charge at physiological pH 7.4 using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. + + Side-chain pKa values (in peptide context): + Arg (R): 12.50 → +1.000 at pH 7.4 + Lys (K): 10.50 → +1.000 at pH 7.4 + His (H): 6.50 → +0.114 at pH 7.4 (partial protonation) + Asp (D): 3.90 → -1.000 at pH 7.4 + Glu (E): 4.10 → -1.000 at pH 7.4 + + Reference: Bjellqvist et al.
