Greetings CASTpyMol Plugin Users: First, thank you to all the CASTpyMol users who have been using the plugin and have "encouraged" me to get a new version working. Like the PyMol project, I have been working to add improvements that to the plugin that hopefully will be of great value to the community.
Since the demand for the plugin is so strong, I am releasing an early version with some features still not implemented (http://gpss.mcsg.anl.gov/GPSSpyMOL/), but which maintain the original functionality of the plugin. You will find that this version has many added features including the ability to visualize ligand, metal, dna and peptide binding surfaces. The ability to upload your own file for surface calculations is still being finalized, but when it is you will be able to submit your files directly from the plugin. Until the upload feature is working, please feel free to contact me and I can submit the files manually. Also, the plugin is part of a new project, the "Global Protein Surface Survey", which will be a single resource for all protein surface information. The "official" plugin release will correspond with the launch of the GPSS webserver (http://gpss.mcsg.anl.gov), but hopefully this one will hold everyone over until then. So, the CASTpyMOL plugin is now retired and the new GPSSpyMOL plugin will be actively maintained.

Thus, people should not expect new versions of PyMOL to necessarily work with the CASTpyMOL plugin until its developer(s) have had time to address any compatibility issues that may have come up. Given that CASTpyMOL is a free plugin, please be patient and gracious -- they are under no obligation to continue making it available, and all who depend upon CASTpyMOL should thank them for doing so. If you need to use CASTpyMOL immediately, then I recommmend using the version of PyMOL that CASTpyMOL was developed for. I suspect this would be cross-platform versions of PyMOL 0.98, but perhaps they will be kind enough to post some specific compatibility guidelines on their web page(s) so that this uncertainty can be eliminated. <http://sts.bioengr.uic.edu/castp/pymol.php> <http://cast.engr.uic.edu/cast/oldindex.php> Please accept my apologies for our role in creating incompatibilities between PyMOL 0.98 and 0.99. In addition to applying some minor tweaks to the API, we finally migrated to Python 2.4. Our hope is that the official PyMOL 1.0 API will be stable and documented well enough to prevent such problems in the future. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
