RE: [PyMOL] listing distance measurements

2005-05-18 Thread Warren DeLano
Stephanie, This is a very reasonable request, but unfortunately it is not one that PyMOL can meet at present -- it will require some significant changes within the C code for the distance command. Thank you for the suggestion. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D.

Martin, Unfortunately this doesn't exist yet, but I agree that it is a necessary function. The best you can do right now is load a blank PDB file into that state. That should delete the coordinates for that state, but it doesn't actually delete the state. # to delete the coordinates for state

Sergio, We use the term polar contacts because, as you correctly point out, some of the contacts shown don't meet strict hydrogen-bonding criteria. Of course, many macromolecular crystal structures aren't of high enough resolution to make definitive determinations anyway...so... With ideal

Gergori, 1) what is the difference between LINES, LINE_LOOP, LINE_STRIP. If I understood correctly, LINES is to build single lines, LINE_LOOP will connect the first and the last point (VERTEX), but no clue about LINE_STRIP. 2) what is the difference between TRIANGLES, TRIANGLES_STRIP

[PyMOL] Shader Fun Large System Support

PyMOL Users: If you are lucky enough to own a fancy new OpenGL graphics card that supports shaders, there is some fancy new OpenGL code in PyMOL that I'd like you to test (Win Mac). PyMOL now has sphere modes that are memory-efficient, can provide much greater image quality for interactive CPK

Dyda, By default, PyMOL uses charges and radii from the Amber99 forcefield, as per APBS. The PDB2PQR tool included with APBS enables you to use other charge/radius sets, such as CHARMM. Chain IDs need to be removed for PQR...though future versions of PyMOL do this automatically. Cheers,
