Forgive my ignorance, but what would be the best way to add secondary structure data to a PDB file, or coerce it into some format that PyMOL can read? I've been fiddling around with STRIDE and DSSP, but the outputs from these need to be parsed into the official PDB format for secondary structure annotation (which I assume from the manual that PyMol can use). Is there some better (e.g. quicker) way to do this? I've found util.ss() works fine, but Warren has repeatedly said not to use it and these images will be presented.
On a related note, if I do get a script to parse STRIDE data working, what's the minimum amount of annotation that PyMOL requires for a sheet? PDB seems to use a lot more data which I don't believe I can supply, like which sheets are parallel/antiparallel to eachother. thanks, Nat Echols
