Tool “Protein Charge Calculator”

  1. Update the Model: In your model (tools/models.py), add the charge and proportion fields to the ProteinChargeCalculator model:

     # tools/models.py
     from django.db import models
    
     class ProteinChargeCalculator(models.Model):
         content = models.TextField()
         created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
         charge = models.FloatField()  # New field for charge
         proportion = models.FloatField()  # New field for proportion
    
     #python3 manage.py makemigrations
     #python3 manage.py migrate
  2. Update the Form: In your form (tools/forms.py), include the new fields in the ProteinChargeCalculatorForm:

     # tools/forms.py
     from django import forms
     from .models import ProteinChargeCalculator
    
     class ProteinChargeCalculatorForm(forms.ModelForm):
         class Meta:
             model = ProteinChargeCalculator
             fields = ['content', 'charge', 'proportion']  # Include charge and proportion
             widgets = {
                 'content': forms.Textarea(attrs={'placeholder': 'Enter your message'})
             }
  3. Update the View: In your view (tools/views.py), modify the code to work with the ProteinChargeCalculator model and form:

     # tools/views.py
     from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
     from .forms import ProteinChargeCalculatorForm
     from .models import ProteinChargeCalculator
    
     def chargeandprop(aa_seq):
         """Calculates protein net charge and charged AA proportion
         """
         protseq = aa_seq.upper()
         charge = -0.002
         cp = 0
         aa_charge = {'C': -0.045, 'D': -0.999, 'E': -0.998, 'H': 0.091,
                     'K': 1, 'R': 1, 'Y': -0.001}
         for aa in protseq:
             charge += aa_charge.get(aa, 0)
             if aa in aa_charge:
                 cp += 1
         prop = float(cp) / len(aa_seq) * 100
         return charge, prop
    
     def protein_charge_calculator_view(request):
         if request.method == 'POST':
             form = ProteinChargeCalculatorForm(request.POST)
             if form.is_valid():
                 content = form.cleaned_data['content']
                 charge, prop = chargeandprop(content)
                 ProteinChargeCalculator.objects.create(content=content, charge=charge, proportion=prop)
                 return redirect('tools:protein_charge_calculator_view')
         else:
             form = ProteinChargeCalculatorForm()
    
         calculators = ProteinChargeCalculator.objects.all()
    
         return render(request, 'tools/protein_charge_calculator_form.html', {'form': form, 'calculators': calculators})
  4. Update the Template: In your template (templates/tools/protein_charge_calculator_form.html), include the new fields in the form and display them for saved calculations:

     <!-- templates/tools/protein_charge_calculator_form.html -->
     {% extends "base.html" %}
    
     {% block title %}Protein Charge Calculator{% endblock %}
    
     {% block content %}
     <div class="container">
       <h1 class="text-center">Protein Charge Calculator</h1>
       <form method="post" action="{% url 'tools:protein_charge_calculator_view' %}">
         {% csrf_token %}
    
         {{ form.content.errors }}
         {{ form.content }}
    
         <br>
         <label for="{{ form.charge.id_for_label }}">Charge:</label>
         {{ form.charge }}
    
         <label for="{{ form.proportion.id_for_label }}">Proportion:</label>
         {{ form.proportion }}
    
         <br>
         <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Calculate Protein Charge</button>
       </form>
    
       <h2 class="text-center">Saved Calculations:</h2>
       <ul class="list-group">
         {% for calculator in calculators %}
           <li class="list-group-item">
             {{ calculator.content }} - Charge: {{ calculator.charge }} - Proportion: {{ calculator.proportion }} - {{ calculator.created_at }}
           </li>
         {% endfor %}
       </ul>
     </div>
     {% endblock %}
  5. Update the URLs: In your urls.py file (assuming you have a urls.py file in your tools app), update the URL patterns to use the new view function:

     # tools/urls.py
     from django.urls import path
     from . import views
    
     urlpatterns = [
         path('protein_charge_calculator/', views.protein_charge_calculator_view, name='protein_charge_calculator_view'),
         # ... your other URLs
     ]
