Hi, I currently have an implementation of DSSP in C++ with lots of improvements such as correctly identifying Pi-helices.
The output of the program is pseudo-PDB, so you could paste it to the top of your PDB file and most programs, including PyMol would read it accurately. The output additionally includes geometrical parameters for each helix, and direction vectors as well as chirality to distinguish right from left handed helices. --sample output start -- REMARK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REMARK Secondary Structure Definition program - (c) Michel N.

My pythonese is not up to notch, otherwise I would really like to contribute code to this fine project. /Michel On Tue, 2002-09-10 at 15:48, Gareth Stockwell wrote: > David, > > Have a look at the rTools package on Kristian Rother's page > > http://www.rubor.de/bioinf/ > > (I haven't used this myself, and it appears to have some external > dependencies - notably Java, but it may be what you want) > > Gareth > > > On Tue, 2002-09-10 at 14:11, David Guerra Aragao wrote: > > Hello to all, > > > > I would like to use DSSP secondary structure assignments but I don't > > know how to incorporate DSSP output in pdb format for PyMOL. > > > > I have found plenty of information arround but none about this issue. > > > > Can i get some help ? > > > > David > > > > -- > > David Aragao > > Linux User nÂș 237333 on http://counter.li.org/ > > "You will pay for your sins.
