Re: [PyMOL] Secondary structure for C-alpha only and coarse-grained models
Thanks a lot Tsjerk, It iw really going to be helpful. I will update you when I play with it. best, Abhi On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 12:46 PM, Tsjerk Wassenaar tsje...@gmail.com wrote: Hey :) I thought there was a post recently about showing secondary structure in C-alpha only models. I can't find it anymore, but in any case it's something popping up now and again. For reconstruction of high-resolution models out of coarse-grained ones, I came up with a very simple algorithm for rebuilding the backbone based on C-alpha atoms only. I realized that that could work for determining secondary structure, and made a function out of it. It's not perfect, as sometimes a residue gets a flipped backbone, but overall it seems to work pretty nicely. The following can be put in a script (bbpredict.py): from pymol import cmd import math def oprod(a,b): return a[1]*b[2]-a[2]*b[1],a[2]*b[0]-a[0]*b[2],a[0]*b[1]-a[1]*b[0] def vsub(a,b): return [i-j for i,j in zip(a,b)] def cest(u,v,w): return [i+0.37*j+0.45*k for i,j,k in zip(u,v,w)] def oest(u,v,w): return [i+0.37*j+1.75*k for i,j,k in zip(u,v,w)] def hest(u,v,w): return [i-0.37*j-1.45*k for i,j,k in zip(u,v,w)] def nest(u,v,w): return [i-0.37*j-0.45*k for i,j,k in zip(u,v,w)] def norm(a): return math.sqrt(sum([i**2 for i in a])) def vdiv(a,b): return [i/b for i in a] def bbpredict(selection,name=bbpred): m=cmd.get_model(selection+' and n. ca') x=m.get_coord_list() d=[(vsub(j,i),vsub(k,i)) for i,j,k in zip(x,x[1:],x[2:])] o=[oprod(*i) for i in d] no=[vdiv(i,norm(i)) for i in o] CA = [(ATOM %5d CA %3s %1s%4d+(%8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%tuple(i))) for i in x] N = [(ATOM %5d N %3s %1s%4d +(%8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%tuple(nest(i,j[0],k for i,j,k in zip(x[1:],d,no)] H = [(ATOM %5d H %3s %1s%4d +(%8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%tuple(hest(i,j[0],k for i,j,k in zip(x[1:],d,no)] C = [(ATOM %5d C %3s %1s%4d +(%8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%tuple(cest(i,j[0],k for i,j,k in zip(x,d,no)] O = [(ATOM %5d O %3s %1s%4d +(%8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%tuple(oest(i,j[0],k for i,j,k in zip(x,d,no)] j = m.atom[0] bb= [CA[0]%(3,j.resn,j.chain,int(j.resi))] bb.append(C[0]%(4,j.resn,j.chain,int(j.resi))) bb.append(O[0]%(5,j.resn,j.chain,int(j.resi))) stuff = zip(m.atom[1:],zip(N,H,CA[1:],C[1:],O[1:])) bb.extend([ i%(num,j.resn,j.chain,int(j.resi)) for j,k in stuff for i,num in zip(k,range(5)) ]) cmd.read_pdbstr(\n.join(bb),name) END Then it can be used e.g. as follows (yes, a full atomistic structure for demonstration): run bbpredict.py fetch 6lzm bbpredict('6lzm','pred') dss pred I'll see if I can get the flips out and tidy the code up a bit. Then I'll add this to the wiki. I hope it'll be of some use to anyone. The routine is explained in a manuscript we just submitted. Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.

Hi, My pymol 1.4.1 works fine. can you try to ray trace and see if your objects are available but just not displayed on the standard screen? cheers, 2011/9/29 Andreas Förster docandr...@gmail.com Hi all, Has anyone noticed that the distance command behaves oddly. Has this been recently introduced? fetch 1ubq zoom 1ubq dist 9/cg2, 73/cd2 # output: object dist01 is created # distance of 10.2 is shown, but no dashed line # now check this out: # several repetitions of the next two lines disable dist01 enable dist01 # eventually lead to the appearance of the dashed line # but it gets better disable dist01 enable dist01 # The distance is enabled but neither number nor dashed line are visible disable dist01 enable dist01 # Now the number and the dashed line are back When dist01 is enabled but invisible, disabling 1ubq brings it back, but it disappears again when 1ubq is re-enabled. With other pdb files, the distance command doesn't work at all. It returns a distance of 0.0A to the screen that is only visible when the associated pdb object is disabled. I've observed this with pymol-py26 1.4-7 installed with fink on a MacBook running 10.6 and with pymol 1.4.1 revision 3968 installed through svn on RHEL 6.1 Notably, earlier revisions (e.g. 3958 and 3945) on RHEL 6.1 work just fine.

I'm calling this v1.4b1 (beta one) on the SourceForge site. We will collect bug reports from you, the community, and then release the stable v1.4 official code once the serious bugs are fixed. Additionally, in order to improve communication and openness, I've re-enabled the SourceForge bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4546atid=104546). If someone would like to act as a good steward and help manage the tracker, please let me know. This will help us stay on top of the open-source bugs. For those adventurous enough to try the new code please give it a shot. If you're not familiar with building PyMOL, please wait for the stable v1.4 release. For those wishing to try the new beta release these following notes might help: (1) If you're building from source, please install * glew * glew-devel as they're new dependencies. I'm using glew 1.5.8 on OpenSuSE 11.3. (2) This update requires your hardware to support OpenGL 2.0+. There are known problems running this from within a VM. I think Parallels does handle openGL 2.0+, but VMWare does not yet support it. (3) Please update your video card drivers. My build just failed to compile shaders (at run time) because I had the wrong drivers installed! (4) Volumes don't yet ray trace, but they will soon. For a nice image, set use_shaders and also try, Display Quality Maximum Quality before using the png command to save the image. (5) cealign is properly integrated and memory leaks and crashing should be fixed. (6) I only made changes to the Linux portion of the setup.sh file. If you're daring enough on Mac/Fink feel free to try get the build working there, too. (7) The 'svn diff' from the last revision is 12000+ lines long, so there's quite a few changes.

Sure, I am of the type that wishes all features were open source and that Jason did all development directly against a repository we could all see, but I think he's done a good job communicating the way development is happening to the list and schrodinger's model for the incentive builds seems to be hardly different from what Warren had started doing. -David On Mar 23, 2011, at 6:33 AM, Abhinav Verma abhinav1...@gmail.com wrote: And why would that be?

Re: [PyMOL] Using povray with pymol
Hi Tsjerk, Thanks a lot for reply.. All I wanted to try was to use povray instead of pymol's internal ray tracer. Now if you type help povray, it will come with a suggestion to use an age old patch and use smooth_color. PyMOLhelp povray DESCRIPTION PovRay: Persistance of Vision Support Information (EXPERIMENTAL) The built-in ray-tracer (technically a ray-caster) is as fast or faster than PovRay for most figures (provided that hash_max is tuned for your system). However, PovRay blows PyMOL away when it comes to rendering images without using lots of RAM, and with PovRay you get the ability use perspective, textures, reflections, infinite objects, and a superior lighting model. PovRay does not include interpolated colors within triangles (!!), so you must patch the source code in order to obtain this basic functionality required for rendering molecular surfaces. Details can be found on the DINO website. http://www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/~xray/dino To use PovRay, you must be running under Unix and have x-povray in your path. Unfortunately, the developers of PovRay do not share PyMOL's open-source philosophy, so you will need to download, configure, patch (for smooth_color_triangles), and install it yourself. Despite being free and open-source, PovRay's license prevents it from being modified or conveniently combined with PyMOL, and thus it serves as a textbook example for why open-source licenses should be wholly non-restrictive. Assuming that PovRay is built and in your path... ray renderer=1 # will use PovRay instead of the built-in engine set ray_default_renderer=1 # changes the default renderer to PovRay ray # will now use PovRay by default cmd.get_povray() # will give you a tuple of PovRay input strings # which you can manipulate from Python set smooth_color_triangles = 1 # is required in order to get decent surfaces in PovRay. You must patch PovRay first. so I tired that link (the patch was moved since then to another address) http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00868.html but all that is useless since smooth_color_triangle itself doesnt exist.

Hi Tsjerk!!, Yes,, it is really an oldie.. ( I tried to patch, but the new code is cpp and not c anymore for povray, so I left the oldie goldie ). All I need is to get close to pymol trace.. i.e. the shine which is missing in my links to the pictures in my previous mail (this is just a very simple example i just created to illustrate. But as the detail in a picture increases the effect of ligting and shine also will change. Pymol's internal ray tracer nearly always justice to these details, but as mentioned can have memory issues for large pictures. So I need to go to povray to get my job done. The settings you suggested, I just used those blindly at the moment ( I will play with those in the coming days). I wish I could write a povray file which by default does justice to the picture generated. by povray when compared to internal ray tracer. thanks again for your help. Abhi.

Re: [PyMOL] Secondary structure coloring
there is set cartoon_highlight_color, color command to set the highlight color to grey or something, so you can use that to color the other side of the secondary structure.

The problem doesn't exist on Windows 2k or Linux, but a very similar behavior occurs with MacPYMOL (but which can be worked around by dragging the MacPyMOL window).

However, a single slash happens to work in this case for some bizzare reason. In other words, the PyMOL command: select selectionname, r. na\+ has a true Python equivalent of cmd.select(selectionname,r. na\\+) not cmd.select(selectionname,r. na\+) which actually works, but probably shouldn't.

Re: [PyMOL] set_dihedral command
1CRN for example has disulphide bonds which are covalant and thats why set_dihedral does not work. I think its the bug, which tells you that it has been setted to zero. So you have to remove the disulphide bonds before setting the dihedral angles. you can do so by unbond r. cys and n. sg, r. cys and n. sg and then PyMOLset_dihedral 21/n, 21/ca, 21/c, 22/n, 0.0 SetDihedral: adjusted to 0.000 PyMOLget_dihedral 21/n, 21/ca, 21/c, 22/n cmd.get_dihedral: -0.000 degrees. cheers, Abhinav.

Unfortunately, the set_dihedral command is not documented, but it looks like it is the same as the get_dihedral with an additional value for the angle to set.

I then assume that this command sets the dihedral angle to 0: PyMOLset_dihedral 21/n, 21/ca, 21/c, 22/n, 0.0 SetDihedral: adjusted to 0.000 Therefore, it should be the case that the angle is 0, however, it is still the old value: PyMOLget_dihedral 21/n, 21/ca, 21/c, 22/n cmd.get_dihedral: 136.344 degrees. The graphics has changed but the molecule's overall topology still looks like the original one. Also, repeating the above set_dihedral command results in successively altered graphics, which contradicts my inuition that setting a dihedral angle to the same fixed value should not result in any changes at all. Has anyone played around with this command and can report its proper usage? My ultimate goal is to write an animation that folds a protein from a more or less linear chain to its final correct 3D structure by interpolating dihedral angles. I am running PyMol version 0.97.

[PyMOL] disulphide bonds in pymol
Hello, pymol finds the disulphide bonds very nicely when you load a pdb file. What I want is, to tell him not to do that. I need it for the fact that I need to set new values of dihedrals to the protein, and if there is a disulphide bond, then pymol just doesnt set the dihedrals. One way is to load the pdb file, then go to builder mode and then manually break the bond. and then execute the set dihedral command. But I wish to script it, so that I dont have to do it manually. Is there a way to do this, either putting builder commands in .pml scripts, or setting certain values, so that pymol doesnt look for sulphers. Thanks in advance, Abhi
