Qun, PyMOL doesn't (yet) have the ability to calculate Possion Boltzmann electrostatic potentiallys. You'll need to use an external tool like GRASP or APBS to perform that task. If spectrum b doesn't produce the desired result, then there is probably some strange B-value present

[PyMOL] New Beta with Vacuum Electrostatics (for proteins)

2004-07-08 Thread Warren DeLano
PyMOLers, Electrostatics purists will undoubtedly question the wisdom of this action, but in the latest Windows beta version of PyMOL, I have added an experimental and as-yet-unvalidated automatic way to calculate and display vacuum electrostatic potentials (computed with a constant homogenous

RE: [PyMOL] selecting residues around

2004-07-10 Thread Warren DeLano
Jason Ah, I found the problem: Sticks represent bonds, not atoms. Normally, in order to see a bond, *BOTH* atoms involved have to have either sticks or lines shown. That's why you weren't seeing anything until increasing the radius of the selection sphere, which included the first bond atom

[PyMOL] PyMOL 0.96 Released

2004-07-12 Thread Warren DeLano
PyMOLers, The official 0.96 version of PyMOL had been released. As you've likely come to expect, this isn't so much a formal release as a quality-controlled build containing many of the recent beta features. Of greatest interest will probably be: 1) The sequence viewer. 2) Built-in support

Anthony, New in version 0.97 is a get_angle function that takes three single-atom selections. There is also a get_distance that is more efficient than the distance command (which creates objects)... See help get_angle To set up a loop, you'll need to generate a list of selections # for

That's good advice, except that you'll lose any bonds between the two selections... the following example will keep those bonds (by duplicating atoms) create protein2, (selection_1) create protein3, ((not selection_1) extend 1) set line_width=1.2, protein2 set line_width=2.0, protein3 Cheers,
