I believe that you need to make these new objects to correct the problem, at least this is a quick fix that I have done in the past. There may be a more elegant solution: load my.pdb, obj1 load my.pdb, obj2 [whatever to each obj] When loaded separately you don't have this problem. Cheers, JTM

I find mpeg encoder from Berkeley works fantastic and very fast. The only problem is if you want to add frames from another source that may not be exactly the same frame size. For just putting frames together I haven't found anything faster or easier with a great quality output. Cheers, JTM "We

Re: [PyMOL] How to choose an atom (of a ligand)

select [ligand name and/or chain] and n. [atom name] For instance, if your ligand is chain c and you want to select the atom named C21 in the pdb file: select c. c & n. c21 or if your ligand has a residue name like "BME" or something similar then you could do: select r. bme & n. c21 Cheers, JT

Re: [PyMOL] incorrect bonding

Hello: The bond distance is hard coded, as far as I know there is no way to change it without recompiling the program. The "unbond" command works very well though and you can put it into a script when you read in the pdb so that you don't have to redo it every time. unbond [atom selection 1], [a

Hello: Not exactly sure what you are asking here but if you want to calculate the distance moved you could use the distance command: distance atomx, atomy to tell you how far atoms in the residues has moved. you can also calculate dihedrals (ie/ X values) using the dihedral command dihedral name_

hide nonbonded should remove these. They must be in your pdb file somewhere: waters, metals something. Cheers, JTM "We can be sure that if a detailed understanding of the molecular basis of chemo-therapeutic activity were to be obtained, the advance of medicine would be greatly accelerated." L

Use the "translate" command to move one/both of the pdb molecules until they superimpose. Just interpolate the distance depending on how many frames you want to do and the distance separated. Cheers, JTM "We can be sure that if a detailed understanding of the molecular basis of chemo-therapeutic
