Hi Shane,
With PyMOL v1.5 and later, and a reasonable machine you should be able
to use large systems (250,000, and upward of 1,000,000+ atoms)
without much of a problem. Using the following simple test script:
fetch 2xpj, type=pdb1, async=0
split_states 2xpj
delete 2xpj
orient
For these
Hi Jason,
Thanks a lot for the performance info. I think that a full capsid would be
around 300,000 atoms, so your info is very helpful.
We will probably invest in the newest version of pymol when we purchase the
computer.

Hi,
Does anyone use pymol for very large structures, such as a full virus
60-mer capsid? If so, what processing power, memory, graphics card, etc. do
you need to render these large files and manipulate them without any
slowing? PyMol takes about 1 minute to think after trying to spin one of
these
Hi Shane,
I've been playing with a virus 60mer on an intel core i7 workstation with
6Gb memory with good response. Just make sure you use the latest incentive
or open source version and have a good graphics card.
Cheers,
Tsjerk
