Denis, Sorry, PyMOL only has protein charges coded at present. Perhaps the APBS project's pdb2pqr utility might be able to assign charges to canonoical ligands (such as ATP)? http://apbs.sourceforge.net Cheers, Warren > -Original Message- > From: Chaix Denis [mailto:denis.ch...@cbs.cnr

[PyMOL] vacuum electrostatics

2009-05-18 Thread Chaix Denis
Dear users I'm trying to compare the electrostatic charge surface of my protein with and without ligand, by using the command "generate vacuum electrostatics". that's works fine for the protein without ATP but that doesn't work with the ligand.The surface obtaine doesn't take account the ligand

Hi Tsjerk!!, Yes,, it is really an oldie.. ( I tried to patch, but the new code is cpp and not c anymore for povray, so I left the oldie goldie ). All I need is to get close to pymol trace.. i.e. the shine which is missing in my links to the pictures in my previous mail (this is just a very simpl

Hi Abhi, Oooh, that's an oldie alright. I only vaguely recollect that coming in :) But you need to patch POV-Ray for it... Anyway, the mesh2 object also allows for smoothly colored triangles, so in that sense there's no need to really do it. The big question is really what do you want to see and w

Hi Tsjerk, Thanks a lot for reply.. All I wanted to try was to use povray instead of pymol's internal ray tracer. Now if you type "help povray", it will come with a suggestion to use an age old patch and use smooth_color. PyMOL>help povray DESC

Hi Abhi, I had a look and found that POV-Ray does not have a keyword 'smooth_color_triangle' (anymore), but this should be changed to 'smooth_triangle'. Also, the mesh2 object Pymol writes already for ages is far superior to a set of smooth_triangles. This leaves me a bit puzzled as what it is you
