[Jmol-users] Another Molecular Editor Question

2010-02-26 Thread Otis Rothenberger
Hello- I'm using a data statement to add a detached ethane to a model so that I can edit the ethane and add the subsequent substructure to the original model. This all works well within the context of the editors click callback routines. Subsequent clean-up or the new structure by minimize makes

Bob- Using your approach, picking deletes an H on propane. But minimize addHydrogens does not add it back. I'm thinking maybe I have the wrong Jmol version. I'm using 11.9.30_dev 2010-02-12 12:26. Is this the wong version? The two minimization steps simply reflect the fact that I forgot

Ha! Yeah, I don't think Google was a consideration when this program was named back in the 70's... O was written and is still maintained by T. Alwyn Jones of Uppsala University in Sweden. His central clearing house can be found at: http://xray.bmc.uu.se/alwyn/ I have already written to him and

An idea just popped up for Eric: As a roundabout solution: Maybe you could load just the selected frames, in the desired order, using load models and then animate them? So, http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Sandbox_5_Eric_Martz I would like to animate just 2 frames, 1.1 and 1.10. load

Note that you have two options there with loading a specific model: load models ({0:3 6 8 10}) filename.pdb will load models 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 10, where 0 is the first model. These aren't model numbers as found on the PDB MODEL line. These are counted from the beginning starting with 0.

Looks like it is here: http://www.uoxray.uoregon.edu/tnt/manual/node104.html Alas, sadly, a binary file that does not identify itself. Too bad not everyone thinks of adding a magic number at the beginning. Still, we might be able to do something with this. Bob On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 1:55 PM,

Ah - Good find! And yes, that's the modern version of the format - the DSN2 or Frodo-style map has been relegated to the dustbins of history. There are no other useful map formats listed on that web site. My opinion would be that the triad of CCP4/MRC, CNS/XPLOR and DSN6 (O-style) covers 99+%

Bob- OK, I think I see something consistent in the delete problem now: Delete followed by minimize addHydrogens works if the deleted hydrogen is the only hydrogen on the multivalent atom. In every other case I look at, I see it failing: I'll use methanol to exemplify this, but I think it's

[Jmol-users] Multiple clipping planes (using slab/depth HKL)

Jmol Users, Here's something I've always wanted to do with Jmol -- use clipping planes to show students the *fractions* of atoms in a unit cell (similar to attached image of NaCl generated using POV-Ray). I know I can use slab HKL and depth HKL, but those don't slice through the atoms like the

Oops, I missed that the original molecule is pretty easy to select after the append of ethane. RotateSelected then gets the job done. I'm still interested in finding out if a mouse click/drag rotation is possible on selected atoms, however. Otis On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 1:54 PM, Otis
