Hi Sean, If you're doing this for illustrative purposes, why not just build the inferred backbone? You could use BBQ, among many others: http://biocomp.chem.uw.edu.pl/tools/bbq FWIW, Darrell -- Darrell Hurt, Ph.D. Section Head, Computational Biology Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences

Hi Sean - By “radially symmetric” I mean that a particular representation (e.g. anything in cartoon tube or putty modes, or loops in automatic mode) is drawn as a series of truncated cylinders or cones, so for PyMOL to draw them, basically all it needs for each short section are two end points

Jared, For now, we are using different colors to indicate the SS assignments but it's not pretty. We would prefer to show the SS for both sheets and helices. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "radially symmetric". Are there other cartoon modes where I would be able to get both helices and she

Hi Sean - I can confirm this behavior, but I’m not sure it’s unintentional on PyMOL’s part. Rather, I think it may have something to do with two facts: 1) unlike loops, sheets represented in automatic mode are not radially symmetric; and 2) unlike helices, the orientation of the sheet at a par

Hi PyMOLers, I have a c-alpha only model and I would like to visualize both helices and sheets based on my own custom SS assignments (via "alter"). Altering a residue's SS assignment to helix or loop (ss="H" or ss="L") is fine and can be visualized. However, altering a residue's SS assignment to

Hi all, I'm using the latest opensource version of PyMOL (r4077) on Ubuntu 12.04 (reported as 1.7.1.3 with get_version, but 1.7.0.0 on the first text line after startup). When the bg_color is set to white (also gray, it seems) the text in the main window of PyMOL is missing (revealed when pressin
