Re: [PyMOL] Ray Tracing Bug in Pymol 0.93 on SuSE Linux 8.2
Dear Buz, > I've been using Pymol 0.93 on SuSE Linux 8.2 for a few hours now, and I'm > having trouble ray tracing graphics. > Each time I start the ray tracer Pymol quits with a segmentation fault > error; I guess you are running into a compiler bug (or a bug in PyMol which gets exposed only by some compiler versions). For me PyMol on SuSE 8.2 crashed always when raytracing a line element. The stock compiler on SuSE 8.2 is gcc 3.3 20030226 (prerelease). I got the same crash with gcc 3.3.1, but not with gcc 2.95. I have not tried it on SUSE 9 yet, installing and using gcc 2.95 (for PyMol only) solved the problem for me. See PyMol bugreport 806361.

[PyMOL] molecular surface colored by hydrophobicity
Dear all, I am preparing a figure of a molecualr surface, colored by the hydrophobicity of surface residues. Can pymol do this job? How about showing atom C* in a color, and N* and O* in another color? In fact I have tried GRASP but failed in coloring the surface. I used "r=hyd", but could not color the surface of those redisues. This is an old version of grasp (1.0?). I am not familiar with this program. If anybody can tell me the correct way of doing it in grasp, it will also be greatly appreciated. Rongjin Guan
[PyMOL] Ray Tracing Bug in Pymol 0.93 on SuSE Linux 8.2
Hi, I've been using Pymol 0.93 on SuSE Linux 8.2 for a few hours now, and I'm having trouble ray tracing graphics. I installed Pymol from the source file pymol-0_93-src.tgz. Each time I start the ray tracer Pymol quits with a segmentation fault error; /usr/local/pymol/pymol.com: line 2: 29720 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py $* I've tried setting max_threads to 1, and this doesn't resolve the problem. I've also downloaded the patch for glibc from SuSE and this doesn't help the problem either. Can anyone help?

Re: [PyMOL] PyMOL/MacPyMOL Beta Feedback
Hi there Warren, I have been using the v0.94 MacPyMOL that we got from you last december. It has been very stable on my desktop system: dual cpu G4867 MHz power PC (version 2.1) OSX 10.2.8 (6R73) v0.94 However, using the same version on my lap top has not been so reliable G4 powerbook 6.2 version 1.1 OSX 10.2.8 (6R73) v0.94 Not sure about the graphics cards as they are not listed by the system profiler. It may be purely circumstantial, but I most often see the crash on my lap top after I have run "dss" to get secondary structure. I will keep an eye on this behaviour and let you know if I see any trends.

Unix hacks know how to edit PDB files to replace asterisks with something more benign, and they know to escape common wildcards -- but the ordinary person does not. Clearly we can't make everyone happy, so perhaps consistency should be the guide? But on the other hand, we are talking about a huge portion of the PDB. Nearly every nucleic acid structure seems to suffer from this unfortunate naming convention (~5000 PDB entries contain "C1\*" according to grep of a recent copy of the PDB). It is true that well-established conventions already exist for handling asterisks, but I don't believe in following conventions blindly, particularly when so many people would be negatively affected. I welcome further discussion on this point. Guidance from the community will be crucial, since I don't have a good solution in mind yet. Some food for thought: 1) Are atom name wildcards really needed when a more precise way of selecting by element symbol already exists? 2) If so, then what are the proposals? a. Escape non-wildcard asterisks with backslash? (regexp convention, but would trip-up newbies, break current PyMOL scripts, and inconvenience a whole field of research) b. Escape wildcard asterisks in atom names with a backslash (that would be very backwards from the standard convention and create further confusion). c. Add a configurable "atom_name_wildcard" toggle? d. Support alternative wildcards for atom names? Would "." or ".*" work? Also note that currently PyMOL doesn't have a regexp engine, and it doesn't support full wildcards -- just terminal astericks in a few situations. Full regexps matching (and thus full convention adherence) would be a nice addition in the future, but it will need to be configured somehow as well, probably via some global setting like "regexp_based_matching". Cheers, Warren
[PyMOL] wild card
Anyone who works with nucleic acids will certainly prefer the current situation. From the PDB format guidelines: * The asterisk (*) is used in place of the prime character (') for naming atoms of the sugar group. The prime was avoided historically because of non-uniformity of its external representation. Eric David A.

This is documented in the reference manual. Following is a helpful summary that was sent to me by Robert L. Campbell, Ph.D. Let's say I wanted to create a single residue selection for Lysine 465 (and I choose to call the selection 'K465'), so that I could color and display it the way I wanted: (insert your particular atom coordinates file name where you see square brackets below) ___ select K465, ([filename] and chain A and resi 465) or you could shorten the selection string: select ak465, (abc & c. a and r. 465) or use the shorthand notation: select ak465, /abc//a/465 ___ ˜ Now to create multiple residue selections, just separate the start and end residue numbers by a colon, I think, following the word 'resi' Once you create your unique selections they show up in the right panel list and you can further manipulate their display properties as you see fit.
