Re: [PyMOL] Discrepancy between select within and distance?

2013-05-20 Thread Jason Vertrees
Hi, Folmer is correct on both accounts. First, "select" was selecting across various states into one multistate selection. Then, the distance command was operating on the first state, which is its default behavior. So, replace select asdf, 1MM2CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA with select as

[PyMOL] how to show ligand surface

2013-05-20 Thread John Quinn
I have a question I've never been able to figure out. If I have a pdb file with a ligand bound in a protein I can show the protein as a mesh or surface but I can't ever show the surface of the ligand. Any advice? What am I missing? Thank you very much. Yours &c. John --

Try to extract the ligand from the protein, so you get two separate objects. Best Troels Emtekær Linnet 2013/5/20 John Quinn > I have a question I've never been able to figure out. If I have a pdb file > with a ligand bound in a protein I can show the protein as a mesh or > surface but I can'

Hi, Extracting/copying the ligand is one way ( http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Surface#Creating_a_Closed_Surface). You can also set surface mode (http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Surface_mode) or flag a selection (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Flag). Cheers, -- Jason On Mon, May 20, 2013

[PyMOL] Label by selection identifier

2013-05-20 Thread Jordan Willis
Hello, This should be straightforward, Is it possible to label selections by their name? If I have a selection named "foo" and I say label foo, "foo", it of course labels all the atoms. Is it possible to get one label for the entire selection without using pseudoatoms? Jordan --
