I needed to have a measurement of the "actual" physical long dimension of a
protein model to compare with x-ray scattering data. I activated the surface
mesh feature and at the extreme ends of the longest axis, right at the
surface boundary, created a carbon atom at each position, then simply u
Hi Giacomo,
you can either create an atom at that position
(see eg. http://www.rubor.de/bioinf/tips_python.html#chempy) and than
use the distance command (or wizard).
Or you can get the position of your first atom and simply calculate the
distance of the two positions,
sth. like:

Dear Pymol users,
I would like to measure the distance between an atom and
a specific point (not another atom) in the surface of the protein.
Is it possible with pymol?
do I need additional scripts?
Thanks in advance,
Giacomo Bastianelli
