Hey all, just the other day I discovered a nifty command in pymol. rms_cur selection1, selection2 determines the deviation between two (previously aligned) selections without doing a fit. Here's what I do: rms_cur (object1 and i. 20:29 and (name c,o,n,ca)), (object2 and i. 30:39 and (name c,o,n,ca))
Hmmm, doesn't work. Error: ExecutiveRMS-Error: No atoms selected. OK, differnt try (debugging for beginners): select selection1, (object1 and i. 20:29 and (name c,o,n,ca)) So far so good. Feedback: Selector: selection "selection1" defined with 40 atoms. And again: select selection2, (object2 and i. 30:39 and (name c,o,n,ca)) Good again. Feedback: Selector: selection "selection1" defined with 40 atoms. Now I go for gold: rms_cur selection1, selection2 Arrgh, bummer: ExecutiveRMS-Error: No atoms selected. What am I doing wrong?? I'm using pymol 0.95 under WinXPpro and pymol 0.95rh9 under linux/FC2. Andreas -- Andreas Förster Dept of Biochem, Univ of Utah, 20N 1900E, #2460 Eccles Bldg.
