[PyMOL] Selections

2004-04-14 Thread Jason Vertrees
Master Users,

I'm a bit new to PyMol and still trying to master selections.  I've read
the documentation and played with quite a few macromolecules now and
still have some problems with selections.

For example, I found a PDB online called 'pope.pdb' (a cool lipid
bilayer; http://moose.bio.ucalgary.ca/Downloads/) and simply wanted to
select all the hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads so that I may
apply different attributes to each.  If I need to select the tails,
which in the PDB are labeled from C10 (or so) to C50 depending on the
molecule, can I use something like c10-c50 (experience tells me no) or
must I do c10+c11+c12...c50?

So, it comes down to: do you prefer the macro method or standard; and,
do you have any hints or tips for more accurate or powerful selections? 
As an example, how could I select just the tails or just the heads in
the aforementioned pope.pdb file?

Thanks.

[PyMOL] Re: give unique chain identifiers

2004-04-14 Thread Dr. Daniel James White PhD

Hi Warren,

OK, that works just as you say it does.

however, what I really need is each chain to have a unique chain 
identifier in the pdb file written out.


I see there might be a problem here as there are 60 molecules, and only 
24 letters in the alphabet
I actually only want to have 15 of them in my model, so we could get 
round it that way, by deleting the ones I dont want

but then how to give them unique pdb chain identifiers?

I want to load the 15 molecule model in Bodil to do my actual modelling.

cheers

Dan

Dan,

That's the not expected result, but indeed you have a problem --
each of those subunits will have identical atoms.  To resolve this, 
assign a

unique segment identifier to each subunit:

load 1c8e.pdb1, 1c8e
split_states 1c8e
delete 1c8e
alter all, segi = model[-4:]
rewind
save test.pdb, all

dele all
load test.pdb

The reason why you were getting a PDB file with just END is that you 
didn't
return the viewer ro frame/state 1 after moving all of the data to 
state 1.


After the above, you'll now be able to address each subunit indepently 
as:


hide
show ribbon
color red, segi 0001
zoom segi 0001

Subject: [PyMOL] save all not working for multiple objects
from split_states?

Hi all,

I opened a "biological unit" pdb file of a viral capsid
protein containing the 60 "states" or "models" making up the
whole viral capsid structure.

I did
split_states
to get all 60 molecules as individual objects

sweet!

then I deleted the ones I didnt want, leaving 15 molecules
around one of the 5 fold symmetry axes.

now I want to save these molecules to a pdb file.

so I did

save 5fold.pdb, all

this gave no errors, but the pdb file written only contains

END

what am I doing wrong? I expect it is my simple mistake?

cheers

Dan

[PyMOL] selecting atoms with PROview

2004-04-14 Thread Raptor User
I'm using PROView (I believe it's a PyMOL-enhanced tool) on a Windows 2000 
machine, and was trying to pick some atoms in the structure window, but 
there is no visual indication of the selection. I tried it on a WinXP, and 
there were some visible pink dots showing up following my clicks. Have 
others encountered the same problem? Is it a Win2000-specific problem?
