Hi, just for your information, the "DSSP plugin for PyMOL" has been updated to "DSSP & Stride plugin for PyMOL" :-)
The plugin generates a selection for each SSE type assigned by DSSP or Stride. Using the brilliant "copy to object" function of PyMOL, you can make two copies of protein fragments of the same SSE defined by DSSP and Stride respectively and compare them visually ! The plugin also accepts (correct) PyMOL selection expressions as input beside selection/object names. Thanks for Thomas Holder for the suggestion! Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome! cheers,hongbo On 04/12/2011 04:22 PM, Hongbo Zhu wrote: > Hi, if anybody is still interested in the topic, I have made a DSSP > plugin for running DSSP and coloring proteins according to the DSSP > secondary structure assignment.
