Alan, Unfortunately, secondary structure is currently defined as an atom rather than a coordinate property. Thus, in order to "animate" secondary structure, you'll need to run dss automatically for each state. For example:
mset 1 -5 mdo 1, dss state=1 mdo 2, dss state=2 mdo 3, dss state=3 mdo 4, dss state=4 mdo 5, dss state=5 Of course, Python can automate this: from pymol import cmd cmd.mset("1 -%d"%cmd.count_states()) for a in range(1,cmd.count_states()+1): \ cmd.mdo(a,"dss state=%d"%a) After which... PyMOL>mdump Movie: General Purpose Commands: 1: dss state=1 2: dss state=2 3: dss state=3 etc. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.
