Hi,
Another idea that came to mind while staring at MD trajectories all day is the
ability to display measured values (distance, angle, dihedral, etc) in a
localized or boxed in area (maybe even under the list of objects). The main
use for a measurement area would be to make it easier to monitor allosteric
effects. For example, from an MD simulation, if I have a protein that has two
distant binding sites and I want to monitor the effects on site A (perhaps, the
cavity of site a changes) when the inhibitor binds to site B. In PyMOL, I
could measure the distance between the inhibitor and site B but it may simply
be too far away to see the changing value as I flip through the frames since it
is so far away from site A. If the measurement was instead displayed in its
own distinct area, independent of the molecule viewing pane then this could be
helpful (or have it displayed in both a separate location as well as the
molecule viewing area).
Just a thought.
Sean
