[PyMOL] wild card

[Eric Zollars]

Anyone who works with nucleic acids will certainly prefer the current situation.  From the PDB format guidelines: * The asterisk (*) is used in place of the prime character (') for naming atoms of the sugar group. The prime was avoided historically because of non-uniformity of its external representation. Eric David A.

However, PyMOL does support the use of a terminal wildcard in some cases, such as with the delete command... create obj01, none create obj02, none delete obj* And with residue names color red, as* color blue, gl* color pink, hi* Cheers, Warren -----Original Message----- From: pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of John Berrisford Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 3:42 AM To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] selecting multiple atoms ie oxygen I wish to select multiple oxygens (labelled O1, O2 etc.. within my pdb file) and colour them red for example. Is there any easy way of doing this other than typing out a list of all the oxygens I wish to select? eg. color red, (5paa and (name o1+o1a+o2+o3+o4+o5+o1p+o2p+o3p)) I know in molscript its posible to use a o* label to select all oxygens, is such a switch possible in pymol. It doesn't work, or I am using the wrong syntax if its possible. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
