We discussed this a bit off-list, and it looks like this was the answer:
The potentials are assigned to points in space. That's why the isosurfaces don't change, and also why the surface coloring changes when you change the shape of the surface. Hope that helps anyone else who might have this question, -michael On 1/9/07, Michael Lerner <[email protected]> wrote:
Raúl, I don't have time to look at this in detail right now, but .. what exactly do you mean that the potentials change between frames? What happens if you draw isosurfaces? Do they change? -michael On 1/7/07, Raúl Mera <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > Two things. > First, I just written a small plugin that uses the > program "reduce" to add hydrogens to a molecule or to > a trajectory loaded in Pymol.(since each frame of the > trajectory is hydrogenated by reduce, I think that > protonation states could vary between frames) This > allow us to have a reliable protonation method in > PyMOL, without having to save the structure as PDB and > hydrogenate with another app, and using an open-source > (as far as I know) and easy to install application. > > Since I don't have any website right now, I will try > to make it available from the Pymol Wiki.
