RE: [PyMOL] alternative method for loading coordinates

2003-09-09 Thread Warren L. DeLano
Tina, If you're willing to switch into Python, there is an undocumented "read_pdbstr" function which can take a PDB file as a string variable. See modules/pymol/importing.py for the code. Temporary files are unnecessary. However, I'm not sure that I completely understand your que

Hi List! I'm glad to see others enjoying MDK 9.1. But pymol rpm for RH is a friend of MDK, I suggest you use pymol-0_90-bin-linux-libc6-i386.tgz It works terrifically for me. Dear Warren, realy great job! If possible, a proper pymol rpm for MDK 9.1 would be very welcome, since I believe there's

[PyMOL] alternative method for loading coordinates

2003-09-09 Thread Tina Li
Hello, Is there an alternative loading PDB coordinates, other than "load "? Let's say after threading against a large database of protein templates, I need one PyMOL script generated for each of the templates. I could as well generate one PDB file for each to load, but it would be difficult to man

Dan, Opinions may vary, but I see RPMs are pretty heavily tied to the distribution. The kind of errors you're seeing are to be expected when trying to install cross-distribution. RPM doesn't look at the file system (AFAIK), it looks in the RPM database for the names of (Redhat-

RE: [PyMOL] individual surfaces?

Dirk, The trick for displaying "contact" surfaces in PyMOL is to create separate objects for each surface: create res431, resi 431 create res440, resi 440 show surface, res431 or res440 For CPK, you don't need to do this show spheres, resi 431+440 Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@del

[PyMOL] pymol problems with Mandrake 9.1

Hi everyone Having previously used RedHat I've just put Mandrake 9.1 on my latest machine (ease of installation, disk partitioning). To my surprise (naively perhaps) the standard RH-derived RPMs on the pymol site lead to chains of missing dependencies that I don't reach the bottom of. Eventually

We plan a research project where we want to stepwise incorporate D-amino acids into a peptide. To determine the exchanges it would be very useful if PyMol could assist. If I might dream I would like to have D-amino acids (and maybe other un- usual amino acids) available in the mutation-tool; som

Hi Dirk, The best way to go there is to create two objects. One of one part of the protein and one of the other, and show the surfaces of each of them. Good luck, Tsjerk Dirk Kostrewa wrote: Dear PyMol users, I'm currently trying to display individual surfaces around different selections

Dear PyMol users, I'm currently trying to display individual surfaces around different selections of a molecule to show how they contact each other. However, either I get only the last surface displayed or a joined surface using the command examples below: this one gives only the surface of re
