[ccp4bb] Off topic: Selecting atoms within a given distance from a target atom

2012-11-17 Thread Rex Palmer
I would like to specify a target atom in a pdb file and then isolate all atoms within a given distance of the target. The selected atoms are then to be placed in a new pdb file. Any suggestions please. Rex Palmer http://www.bbk.ac.uk/biology/our-staff/emeritus-staff

Hi, You can do this with MOLMOL. The official page from Wuthrich's group seems to be no longer supported. You can find it on the web from several other websites. For example: (http://pjf.net/science/molmol.html), ( http://blog.louic.nl/?p=397). 1) SelectAtom '#1:10@CA' (Structure 1, residue 10,

Hi Rex, as easy as: phenix.pdb_atom_selection model.pdb within(3, chain L and resseq 9 and name CA) --write-pdb-file=cut.pdb which in the above example selects all atoms within 3 A from CA atom in chain A of residue number 9, and writes them into cut.pdb file. Pavel On Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at

Hi folks:I'm trying to get a sense for how frequently this sort of thing occurs:That was a macbook air that served me well for four years, but then self-destructed. (I took it to the Apple store. They generously offered to repair it for $800 or to sell me a new one, and suggested this was normal
