I'm working with Jmol again (after several months) in relation to my
database-driven web app and have one question and what I fear may be
a feature request.
1. There is a limit to the extent that I can zoom a motif of a few
amino acids in a large protein, which is marginally insufficient for
my purposes. This is less than one can get with RasMol. I seem to
remember someone else bringing this up. Anyone remember the outcome?
2. When working with proteins one often wants to label the amino acid
residue rather than all the atoms in the residue. This can be done by
first selecting the alpha-carbon atom and then applying the label
with commands of the sort:
select lys95.CA
label Lysine 95 (or whatever)
My problem is that I am programmatically serving data about the
residues I wish label that only includes their residue number, and it
would be a pain to have to modify the whole app to retrieve the amino
acid types as well. However I can find no way of selecting the alpha
carbon atom just on the basis of residue number, without the residue
type. Am I missing something here? Hope so.
I appreciate that 95.CA alone would be ambiguous as the
number could indicate an atom rather than an amino acid, but
something like select aa95.CA, with 'aa' as a wild card for the
appropriate amino acid, would seem possible.
