RE: [PyMOL] unsetting cartoon_colors

David, For settings such as cartoon_color, surface_color, mesh_color, the default value is -1. set cartoon_color, -1 or set cartoon_color, -1, object-name will restore the color. Thanks for pointing out that: set cartoon_color, default doesn't work! Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war..

[PyMOL] unsetting cartoon_colors

2003-12-18 Thread David A. Horita
Hi all, I have a collection of molecules and want to color a particular helix (in cartoon mode) a specific color different from other helices. Unfortunately, I had previously set cartoon_color from "default" to another color, so now specifying a color for that helix (or even "color red, ss h")

Chris, I hereby nominate the Targus PAUM01U as the official 3-button mouse for PyMOL users on the go. http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=PAUM01U They might be too small for some, but they work great for me, at home and on the road! (plus, they color-coordinate with Ti PowerBoo

RE: [PyMOL] Display of electrostatic potential surfaces

2003-12-18 Thread Warren L. DeLano
Roger, The problem with computing electrostatic maps in PyMOL currently is that the Coulomb equation assumes a uniform dielectric and thus doesn't give you correct potentials for macromolecules. It is much better to use an external tool such as Grasp, MEAD, APBS, or Delphi, which can

[PyMOL] Display of electrostatic potential surfaces

2003-12-18 Thread Roger Dodd
Dear PyMOL users, I would like to generate a figure of my protein where the surface electrostatic potential is displayed. PyMOL now comes with a demo function for display of such a surface. However, when I apply the commands used in this demo, i.e. cmd.set("coulomb_dielectric",80.0) cm
