Tim,
many thanks. I tried and in principle it works beautifully. Unfortunately the models are all placed and rotated differently, so it would be reeeeeeeally difficult to get a smooth animation. Unless, of course, there are some trick I am unaware of.....:-))


hi Adriano,

ah; you need to align the structures first. Jmol can not do this, but try SwissPdbViewer or VMD. SPV can load multiple models, align them, and export as a multiple-model file that you can then open and animate in Jmol. I don't know much about aligning in VMD, except that it can be done.

best,

tim

Hi all,
I would like to display sequentially the various states for which the Ca2+ pump has structures available ina kind of animation. I have read the archives about the possibility obtaining an animation of multiple files but I am a bit confused. How do I get a "concatenated PDB file" ?





hi Adriano,

pretty easy:

1. create a new text file.
2. open one of your structure files and copy the entire contents.
3. paste into the new text file from (1).
4. surround with MODEL # and ENDMDL, like this:

MODEL 1
ATOM...
ATOM...
...
ENDMDL

5. repeat steps 2-4 for each desired structure. end result:

MODEL 1
ATOM...
ATOM...
...
ENDMDL
MODEL 2
ATOM...
ATOM...
...
ENDMDL
MODEL 3
ATOM...
ATOM...
...
ENDMDL
...


in Jmol, each structure can now be accessed using model or (IIRC) frame. see Bob Hanson's script doc for usage details (<http:// www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/>).


hope that helps!
