Hi Martin, You get three options:
(1) You can count alpha carbons: fetch 1rx1, async=0 count_atoms n. CA (2) But, a protein could be missing alpha carbons then this is more complete (and the technique worth noting): n=0 select qq, polymer select pp, None python while cmd.count_atoms("qq"): cmd.select("pp", "br. first qq") cmd.select("qq", "qq and not pp") n+=1 python end print "count_atoms: %d" % n If you put: select qq, * you'll get a higher count (160) because one atom in 1rx1's inorganic set is also named "CA". (3) The shorter version of (2) is: print len(cmd.get_model("poly").get_residues()) Cheers, -- Jason On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 9:50 AM, Martin Hediger <ma....@bluewin.ch> wrote: > Dear List > How can I compute the numbers of residues in a model? > > Martin > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure > contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, > security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
