Hi Mohan, You can use iterate_state, which would be the pymol approach:
coords = {} iterate_state 1,n. ca,coords[i]=(x,y,z) Or you can take a lower level approach; the python one: for i in cmd.get_model('n. ca').atom: print i.coord cmd.get_model builds you a ChemPy model from a given selection. The .atom property is the list of atoms. If you want to know what else is possible you might want to have a look at the properties/attributes/methods defined: for i in dir(cmd.get_model('n. ca').atom[0]): print i Hope it helps, Tsjerk Of course neither way would restrict you to plotting...
