Re: [PyMOL] H-bonds representation

Dear all :) I want to find Hbonds beetween different helices in the membrane receptor ( H bonds beetween sidechains only) I know possible way to do it wihin selection if I defined different helixes but is there any way to find almost all Hbonds between polar sidecains groups ? Could I use

Thanks, Thomas, Jason both of the methods are useable :) By the way I've forced with the problem of the representation of the active sites of different enzymes. I need to view all my protein as the cartoons and the ligand as the shpere in the ligand binding pocket. Besides I need to mark

James, Is there any semi-avtomated way to find ligand binding pocket and do all such things ? For your given object, click A preset ligands sites cartoon. Try other options under that menu. Cheers, -- Jason 2011/11/28 Thomas Holder spel...@users.sourceforge.net Hi James, most

Thanks Jason. It works quite well in case of not very compliated ligands ( e.g bonds beetween aa-tRNA and the aa-tRNA syntase were correct ) but in the sugar-bound enzyme there were some mistakes in representation of the H-bonds netween water/ligand/active center ( some water also partisipate in

Another question also linked with the non-covalent interaction. In particular I wounder to know how i Could represent all hydrophobic ( Ley Ile Val etc) sidechains in my proteins in most trivial manner? I'd like to represent the hydrophobic core of the proteins made from those residues. Thanks,

Hi James, most trivial manner: as cartoon show sticks, resn LEU+ILE+VAL set cartoon_side_chain_helper and eventually something like this: show spheres, resn LEU+ILE+VAL and not name N+O+C set sphere_transparency, 0.5 Cheers, Thomas On 11/28/2011 02:58 PM, James Starlight wrote: Another

Hi James, As I've understood there are no posible ways to represent H-bonds in proteins in explicit manner. So I'm looking for possible way to do it via some plugin or another way. PyMOL can find polar contacts and represent them as dashed lines. You don't need any extra plugin.

Thomas, thank you for so detailed explanation. This way works good but I'd like to ask you about possibe Hbonds in the protein chain. As I remember for protein physics courses the H atom is always donor for only ONE H-bond ( and O or N atoms could be akceptors for 1 or 2 Hbonds) But In my case

While the single acceptor H-bond is most common, bifurcated (or three-centred) H-bods are not uncommon in crystal structures, as described starting page 22 of GA Jeffrey's book:

Dear PyMol users! As I've understood there are no posible ways to represent H-bonds in proteins in explicit manner. So I'm looking for possible way to do it via some plugin or another way. In particular I need 1) to visualize H-bonds in some structural motifs like coiled coil wich are dimers
