Hello to everybody, I am trying to run a script to translate all pdb structures so that an atom of the protein gets the coordinate (0,0,0) I have written a small script for that: for i in pdb_names: stored.xyz = [] cmd.iterate_state(1,("%s and name fe" %(i)),"stored.xyz.append([x,y,z])") a=stored.xyz[0][0] b=stored.xyz[0][1] c=stored.xyz[0][2] cmd.alter_state ("1",("%s" %(i)),"x=x-a") cmd.alter_state ("1",("%s" %(i)),"y=y-b") cmd.alter_state ("1",("%s" %(i)),"z=z-c") First, I have not been able to translate all the coordinates at once in the script with something like cmd.alter_state ("1",("%s" %(i)),"((x,y,z)=(x-a,y-b,z-c))") I get this error message cmd.alter_state ("1",("1AW3 and name fe"),((x,y,z)=(x-a,y-b,z-c))") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax This was overcome by affecting each value separately. But then, when I check the coordinates of the fe atom that should be (0,0,0) all of them have zero values for x and z, but ot for y!!!!!! All the y values are unaffected!!! Is there something I am missing in the number format? When I check coordinates via the cmd.iterate_state, I can see that most of them are numbers with around 15 to 16 significative figures... where the pdb file has only three figures!! Is there something that is added by the iterate_state command, and might this could affect the calculation of the translation? Thanks in advance for your answers ;)
