[PyMOL] symmetry mates

2014-08-15 Thread sunyeping
Dear pymol users, I want to operate a structure whose crystal structure has one molecule in one asymmetry unit. I try to display its  polymer. I loaded the structure and used generate command in the pymol GUI interface:  Ageneratesymmetry mates4A, and then many copies of this molecure appeared

Hi Yeping Sun, A linear polymer is likely to apparent when you look at a large number of symmetry mates. Looking at lots of symmetry mates in cartoon view is quite intensive and can be slow unless you have a powerful graphics card - if you show the first molecule as 'ribbon' and then generated

Hi Bob, PyMOL 1.7.2.0 has a workaround (by default) to load the asym_id into the segi (segment identifier) field, which can hold 4 letters. The chain will still be single letter (internal data structure limitation). PyMOL 1.6 doesn't handle multi-letter asym_id at all. Our next major release
