Dear Warren and Tsjerk,
Thank you for responding so quickly to my question.
Im not sure what the underlying OpenGL graphics are on my computer.
However, I have changed nothing on my computer. I can open and look at both
versions of the pdb file in PyMOL, look at them side-by-side, and they respond
very differently. The problem is reproducible. I dont how to write scripts
yet, but I can give you a list of what I do.
I have attached the two files: Old1FOD.pdb ( the file that is easy to use)
and 1FOD.pdb (the most recent version of the file from RCSB that is difficult
to use).
1) I double click on the pdb file and it opens automatically in PyMOL
2) In the Menu: Display: Sequence: Sequence Mode: Residues
3) Highlight residue #1
4) (sele) choose show sticks
5) (sele) choose Action: Find: Polar Contacts: To any atoms
6) (sele) choose Action: Orient or Zoom
If I use the older version of the pdb file, the residue is zoomed in
and I can easily turn the whole molecule around 360 degrees.
If I use the newer version of the pdb file, the residue is zoomed out
I cannot zoom in unless I use the left mouse button, and I cannot turn the
molecule around 360 degrees.
Thank you for your assistance,
Nicole Lewis-Rogers
