Dear Pymol experts,
I have another question regarding Pymol animation. Could somebody
please tell me how to script the
movements of individual objects relative to each other in an animation
similar to those in the "scripted animation" demo in MacPymol. Please
do not tell me how to do this in Python, because I absolutely do not
understand Python programming. I have figured out how to move
individual objects at the Pymol command line using the "translate
[x,x,x], object" commands. I can also get the rTools command set (or at
least some of the "movie.py" commands of rTools) to work from within
MacPymol with all of the commands such as: mvMove, mvRot, mvSet,
mvSinmove, mvSinrot, etc. The problem is I do not understand how to
script the movement of one object relative to another using explicit
Pymol script movie commands. For example, I would like to show the
movement of a ligand or substrate into the active site of an
enzyme/receptor, animate a transformation in the active site, and then
animate the departure of the enzymatic product or ligand.
Could somebody please help?
Thanks,
Kelley
