[PyMOL] exact molecule duplication keeping its spacial orientation

Hello, is there a possibility in PyMOL to duplicate a molecule that is present in the currently loaded PyMOL session file such that is exactly placed on its "parent"? I have to color the same residue in two or more colors. I ask this because reloading the same molecule requires subsequent alignme

[PyMOL] surfaces

If I have two chains in a structure how can i draw a surface on each chain separately (as though the other chain did not exist). currently i have to separate the structure file into two different files with a chain each and read them both and draw teh surface on each. thanks chandra

Re: [PyMOL] surfaces

Hi I think you should select the chain A and then create the object for this selection. Then you can manipulate as standalone object. select A, chain A create A_obj, A show A_obj,surface I hope this help Regards andrea 2006/3/28, Chandra : > If I have two chains in a structure how can i draw a s

[PyMOL] many thanks

wonderful. many thanks andrea!! to my question: If I have two chains in a structure how can i draw a surface on each chain separately (as though the other chain did not exist). currently i have to separate the structure file into two different files with a chain each and read them both and draw

I think that the create command will do this create newM, select statement if I have a molecule named mol1 with three chains and I want to make a copy of chain c I would use create new_C, mol1 & c. C Andrew On 3/28/06, Michael Weber wrote: > > Hello, > is there a possibility in PyMOL to du

Michael, Yes, that is what the create command does: load prot.pdb create prot_cpy, prot Should generate an identical copy. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist . DeLano Scientific LLC . 400 Oyster Point Blvd., Suite 213 . South San F
