Re: [PyMOL] writing out the surface

2012-07-14 Thread Michael Lerner
I finally got back to this, and I'm still having some trouble. The surface
I write out seems to be offset from what I'm viewing in PyMOL. I define the
following functions:

def getIndexedFaceSet(wrlname):
f = file(wrlname)
for line in f:
if 'geometry IndexedFaceSet {' in line:
break
else:
print Could not find IndexedFaceSet
return None
assert 'coord Coordinate' in f.next()
assert 'point' in f.next()
points = []
for line in f:
if not line.strip(): continue
line = line.strip()
if ']' in line:
break
if line.endswith(','):
line = line[:-1]
points.append(','.join(line.split()) + '\n')
return points

def pts2pdb(ptsname,pdbname):
f = file(pdbname,'w')
atomid,resi = 1,1
for line in open(ptsname):
line = line.strip()
if not line: continue
c = [float(x) for x in line.split(',')]
f.write('ATOM %06s %4s PHO  %04s
 %8.3f%8.3f%8.3f\n'%(atomid,resi,'C',c[0],c[1],c[2]))
atomid += 1
f.close()

def
writeSurfaceValue(objname,wrlname='/tmp/tmp.wrl',ptsname='/tmp/tmp.pts',pdbname='/tmp/tmp.pdb'):
cmd.hide('everything')
cmd.show('surface',objname)
cmd.save(wrlname)
points = getIndexedFaceSet(wrlname)
f = file(ptsname,'w')
f.writelines(points)
f.close()
pts2pdb(ptsname,pdbname)
cmd.extend('write_surface_value',writeSurfaceValue)

and then do

fetch 1rx1
set surface_solvent, 1
show surface
run whatever file defines the above functions
write_surface_value 1rx1
load /tmp/tmp.pdb
show spheres, tmp

and the tmp object looks like it has the right shape, but is clearly offset
from 1rx1.

I have a feeling I'm doing something simple and obvious wrong, but I'm not
sure what.

Thanks,

 I don't know anything about VRML, but I found some documentation online at

 straightforward. The surface will show up in the VRML file as an

[PyMOL] 3D printing question

2012-06-17 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all,

I just got a MakerBot Replicator, and I'd obviously like to try my hand at
printing 3D models from PyMOL. If anybody else is doing such things, are
there any recommendations for the most straightforward way to go from PyMOL
to something that repg can read? A lot of the software I'm trying to use as
intermediates between the two is proving to be troublesome.

[PyMOL] writing out the surface

2012-06-11 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all,

If I have a surface representation, is there currently a way to write it
out as points (perhaps with a desired spacing) to a file? I know that the
answer used to be no, but I thought I'd check just in case there was a new
function that I didn't know about.

Re: [PyMOL] Electrostatic calculations with ligand bound

2011-12-06 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Andrew,

The main limitation for problems like this is that you need to have
parameters for the ligand. Making sure that you have good parameters
is often an expert-level topic, and you're probably best served by the
APBS or PDB2PQR listservs as well as the literature ... but, you can
get a decent start on things with PDB2PQR itself. See
http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/examples/ligand-parameterization
for some good starting instructions. Once you have a PQR file that
includes both the protein and the ligand, the PyMOL/APBS plugin should
do everything that you need.

If that doesn't solve your problem, please let me know.

Cheers,
-Michael

Re: [PyMOL] Get pymol 1.4.1 source to windows. Easy.

2011-08-25 Thread Michael Lerner

 Hi.

 I was very happy to find a post how to easy install pymol 1.4 from source
 on windows.

 1) Install python, 2.5, or 2.6 or 2.7 for windows.
 2) Download appropriate installer from:
 http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pymol   Select according to
 your python version.
 3) Run it
 4) PyMOL is now installed in: C:\Python2X\PyMOL

 A) C:\Python2X\PyMOL\PDB_file.reg   should be edited in a text editor, to
 match your python version. Run it.
 B) Pymol is started by clicking C:\Python27\PyMOL\pymol.cmd   which
 executes python on C:\Python27\PyMOL\pymol-launch.py

 Happy pymoling.

 Best
 Troels

 Hi Everyone,

 I`m writing a Python plug-in that depends on a certain Python module. For
 Linux users It would be easy to install this module because is available
 through the repositories (I think Mac OsX has a repositories system too, but
 I am not sure) . But for Windows this could be a little more complicated, 1)
 They don´t have a repository system and 2) Python is not installed by
 default in Windows, hence if they install any Python module this module will
 not be available to PyMol.

 I think there are at least two options.

 1) The easy one (for me): To distribute a README file with the
 instructions to install the plugin in each platform and to make my plug-in
 to check if the module if available, if not ask the user to install it.

 2) The easy one (for the user): To distribute this module with my plug-in,
 and create some installer to perform the installation in a more or less
 automatic way.

 Which option would be the better? It is option 2 to complicated to
 implement?, it is worthwhile? which are the easiest way to install Python
 modules on Windows and Mac OsX (and making them available to PyMol)?

 Thanks in advance.

 Cheers,

 Osvaldo.

Re: [PyMOL] RMSD calculation sans alignment

2011-07-22 Thread Michael Lerner
PyMOL's rms_cur command will do what you want. E.g.

fetch 1rx1
fetch 1ra1

# reports Executive: RMS =   34.329 (159 to 159 atoms)
# because the structures still need to be translated and rotated
rms_cur (1rx1 and name CA), (1ra1 and name CA)

# reports Executive: RMS =0.862 (159 to 159 atoms)
# because it calculates translated/rotated value, but does now
# apply the translation/rotation to the molecules
rms (1rx1 and name CA), (1ra1 and name CA)


# reports Executive: RMS =0.391 (1026 to 1026 atoms)
# standard PyMOL align, which also translates and rotates
align 1rx1, 1ra1

# both of these report Executive: RMS =0.862 (159 to 159 atoms)
# because the structures have now been translated and rotated
rms_cur (1rx1 and name CA), (1ra1 and name CA)
rms (1rx1 and name CA), (1ra1 and name CA)

 Dear all,

 I'm attempting to align a series of structures using the CEAlign plug-in in
 PyMOL due to a lack of any detectable sequence homology.  CEAlign does a
 good job of aligning and the fits are very reasonable.  However, the RMSD
 that is calculated is based only on the c-alphas that were actually aligned,
 not based on the total number of c-alphas in the structure.  After searching
 online I have been unable to find any software or servers that will simply
 calculate the RMSD of two structures as is, without aligning them first.  I
 would think this would be a relatively straightforward thing to do, just to
 calculate RMSD from two existing structures without translation or rotation
 for alignment.

 Does anyone know of a way either in PyMOL or in general to simply calculate
 the RMSD between all c-alphas of two structures?  Obviously it won't
 necessarily be a one-to-one ratio of c-alphas, but I can manually curate the
 pdb to include only the equivalent and aligned residues, even if not used
 in the CEAlign algorithm, so that there are the same number of c-alphas in
 both structures.

 Thank you for any help and suggestions,

 Tom

 Hi list,

 I'm trying to use PyMOL to construct an image of the total contiguous
 contact
 surface that starts at a particular place on the surface of a protein,
 without
 all the visual distraction and clutter that comes from other regions of the
 protein surface (not to mention internal cavities).

 I started by rendering up the whole protein as Contact surface with
 Cavities and pockets only shown. Unfortunately, this displays a large
 number
 of bubbles, some of which, despite being far away in space from the region
 of
 interest, manage to effectively obscure bits and pieces of it.

 So my next thought was to try removing the extraneous bits, however, I
 can't
 seem to select atoms in surface view; I have to display everything as lines
 or
 similar. Removing things that way gets very unwieldy, not least because of
 all
 the atoms that don't contribute anything to the surface but appear in front
 of, behind, or otherwise near to the atoms that do so.

 A third option I tried was to build the surface up, starting from the known
 points of interest, but this too is painstaking because of the need to
 guess
 where I should next expand the selection to in order to fill in the gaps.

 A remaining method of getting only the cavity of interest would, I guess,
 be
 to create a selection consisting only of those atoms that contribute
 something
 to the currently rendered surface (in this case, cavities and voids). I
 could
 then render those as spheres or something and hide unwanted contributors.
 Is
 there a way of specifying such a selection? Alternatively, is there some
 other
 smart way to achieve what I want (and by smart, I mean a way that isn't
 time-
 consuming and unusually error-prone)? I've already tried Googling, to no
 avail; I got, mostly, instructions about how to display surfaces in
 general.

 I should mention that I'm using a recent version of MacPyMol, on Mac OS X
 10.6.7.

 Any tips are welcome. Thanks!

 Best regards,
 Ben

Re: [PyMOL] Fetching scripts

2011-05-05 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Peter,

On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 6:56 PM, Pete Meyer pame...@mcw.edu wrote:


  - Sandboxing would be ideal, but I don't know if there's infrastructure in
 python to support it.  It might be easier to filter fetched scripts to only
 allow a restricted subset of python functions (the ast library looks like it
 might make this a bit easier).  If a script can't access the network or hard
 disk, then it doesn't need to be trusted as much.


There are a couple of issues with this

 - The last time I checked (which, admittedly, was a couple of years ago),
many people had tried and failed to set up such an environment within
Python. It turned out that there were very clever ways to get around any
sort of reasonable restrictions that people tried to impose (i.e. a
guaranteed-to-be-safe script couldn't actually do anything useful). I know
there has been a lot of desire for this, so maybe the problem has been
solved.

 - There are some plugins that need access to the hard disk. I'm not sure
about scripts. If there exists a reasonable sandboxing (or AST-based)
solution, we'll have to run those scripts in untrusted mode, which is
probably fine.



  - The wiki doesn't appear to support SSL.  So that means trusting the
 network to get to the wiki correctly, in addition to the wiki itself.  I
 don't have any good ideas for how to work around this one.


My guess is that there's just never been a real need for SSL. Jason would be
the real authority here, but I'd guess that SSL would be possible if it
there's a strong push for it.

Re: [PyMOL] Hiding individual dash/distance objects within a merged-dash object

Hi Harry,

If they've been combined using the group command, you can ungroup them:

fetch 1rx1
# make some distance objects
dist measure01, 19/C, 20/C
dist measure02, 20/C, 21/C
dist measure03, 158/C, 159/C
dist measure04, 157/C, 159/C
# group them
group g1, measure01 or measure02
group g2, measure03 or measure04
#ungroup all of them (this leaves empty groups, which you can delete if
you'd like)
ungroup measure*

Hope that helps,

 the others, but as the dashes are merged by interaction type I can only hide
 by that category. Extensive Googling has not led me to a solution to select

 I hope this is clear, the crux of what I am asking is if it is possible to
 select and/or hide individual distance objects in a pymol session after they
 have been merged into one object. Un-merging them would also be an
 attractive solution.

 Hi Michael,

 Thank you for your response. The problem is that for types of
 inter-molecular interaction all of the visual distances are merged into one
 object in the sidebar (as if created using the measurement wizard with the
 merge with previous option on), for which unfortunately the ungroup
 command doesn't seem to work for. Left-clicking on the interaction type in
 the GUI sidebar toggles show/hide for every distance of that interaction
 type, and there are no further disclosure squares which indicates that the
 distances are grouped rather than merged. Ideally I'd like to be able to
 un-merge these objects to make each dash an object that I can hide or show
 individually so I can switch off the ones not connected to a residue of
 interest. Even better (if possible) would be to only show dashes connected
 to a residue of choice.

 I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your help,

 The hardest part would be determining when to quote strings versus not

Hi Cale,

After you run the APBS calculation, you will find the relevant files stored
in a temporary directory. The default location of that directory depends on
your operating system and system configuration, but you can set it
explicitly in the Plugin's Temp File Locations tab. The  name of the file
containing the map is pymol-generated.dx by default, although you can change
both the name and the location on that tab.

http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/index.php?MolProbSID=6b810d461879ca495f8d7898629dc18ceventID=15)
in the past.

I had a script that would let me cycle through all of the HIS residues, add
hydrogens, and cycle between states. It's broken at the moment. The trick
was that PyMOL doesn't care about the name of the residue, so you have to
manually cycle the valences.

 Dear All
 I would like to ask if the PyMOL function to add hydrogens to an entire
 protein also has options, meaning is it possible to set the protonation
 state of individual residues specifically? Like in a list or something?
 h_add, His202:+1 or so?
 And, it can be relevant at what atom a residue gets protonated: His can
 be protonated at Nd, or Ne or both. Is there a way to control this?

 On a more general note: what other smart hydrogen adding tools are there
 out there anyway? Does anyone know a really smart tool for this? I know
 OpenBabel has a pH parameter. But on the other hand OpenBabel just
 appends the hydrogens to the PDB file, whereas PyMOL really writes them
 within the block of atoms corresponding to one residue.
 Also, AutoDock can add hydrogens and it even has an option for the
 protonation state of histidine, but it doesn't seem to work in my case.

 Thanks for your answers and input.

Re: [PyMOL] movie with morph and electrostatics

2011-03-15 Thread Michael Lerner
If you know a bit of python, you can make a version of the Plugin that will
do this via repeated calls to self.execute('Run APBS',refocus=False).

If this would be a generally useful feature, I could add a movie button to
the plugin so that it would step through all available frames, saving PNGs
for each.

Let me know,

Re: [PyMOL] R: Re: plugin dependencies

2011-03-10 Thread Michael Lerner
I really like the fact that Jason will be including more libraries with
PyMOL in the future.

I once needed to distribute a library that depended on BioPython. It turned
out that, in my case, I only cared about a few specific files from
BioPython, so I was able to strip out the necessary functionality and just
ship that with my plugin. I don't know exactly what you're doing, but that
might be an option.

 Is not so simple. A library like Biopython can't be installed as a plugin.
 An
 installer (OS specific) program is needed: the official windows installer I
 checked doesn't allow the user to choose the folder (this way the
 interpreter)
 where to install. Installing manually is still tricky for a not experienced

 If the version of the external python and the python shipped with

 still fail to work in PyMOL even if the user has installed the package

 Hi Wataru,

 in addition to what Jason mentioned: Have you tried to look at the

 find most often displayed in the literature.


I think this is likely the case. Due to a lot of feedback, the plugin
defaults changed to showing the solvent accessible surface a while ago (see
the checkboxes in the Molecular Surface section of the Visualization panel).


 Another option is to have a look at the charge distribution of your
 molecule in the actual PQR file. The potential distribution is dependent
 on the charging algorithm used. I would recommend using/looking into
 PDQ2PQR, which is available from the APBS website and compare this to
 the homegrown charging algorithm from PyMol or GRASP for that matter.


Many (most?) users of the plugin do indeed use PDB2PQR. It's worth noting
that the current version of the plugin allows you to specify command line
arguments to PDB2PQR (e.g. --ff=AMBER, etc. if you're interested in trying
out different force fields).

Re: [PyMOL] Visualizing two surfaces using APB2tools2.1

2011-02-01 Thread Michael Lerner
Thanks for the nice writeup, Jason!

There are two main ways that I know of to visualize two potentials at once.
This is one. If you're looking at, e.g., a protein-protein interface, it may
be useful to map two different electrostatic potentials to two different
PyMOL objects. Here's my overly-cautious recipe for doing that:

1. Load up PyMOL with one of your structures.
2. Fire up the plugin. Click on Choose Externally Generated PQR File and
point it at your PQR file.
3. Click on the Temp File Locations tab and change the name of the temporary
DX file to something meaningful, e.g. structure1.dx
4. Set grid and Run APBS as normal.
5. Close the plugin.
6. Type delete all
7. Load up the second structure.
8. Repeat steps 2-4, changing the name to something like structure2.dx this
time.

Now you have two correctly generated electrostatics potential maps (note:
the reason I had you do things with one structure at a time loaded in PyMOL
is so that you wouldn't have to fiddle around with the Selection to use
section of the Main options tab). Use the load command to load up the other
pqr file and the other dx map, then use the visualization panes as normal.

Cheers,

-Michael

 Hi Yarrow,

  Does anyone know how to visualize the surface potentials of two molecules
  simoutaneously using the APBS Tools2.1 plugin?  Thanks.

 As Michael wrote the APBS plugin, he might have more to offer, but
 here's how I'd do it.  I used this technique to look at two similar
 proteins side-by-side in PyMOL (see the 2nd image on
 http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/APBS).  The trick is to (1) use
 grid_mode and grid_slots; and (2) rename the maps as appropriate.
 It's not hard, but will take a couple minutes.  Here's how:

 # get two proteins; use whatever you like
 fetch 1rx1 1rx2, async=0

 # put them in the same frame of reference for grid mode
 align 1rx1, 1rx2

 # run APBS on protein #1, 1rx1
 Plugin  APBS Tools2  ...
 Under selection to use type (polymer) and 1rx1

 # rename the map
 set_name pymol-generated, 1rx1_map

 # run APBS on protein 2, 1rx2; remove the waters
 Plugin  APBS Tools2
 Under selection to use type (polymer) and 1rx2

 # rename the map
 set_name pymol-generated, 1rx2_map

 # Now, using APBS show the surfaces make sure you choose
 # 1rx1_map for 1rx1 and 1rx2_map for 1rx2; click Update if those
 # map names are not present.
 ...

 # turn on grid mode
 set grid_mode

 # assign grid slots just to be sure the right maps
 # and proteins are in the right places
 set grid_slot, 1, 1rx1
 set grid_slot, 1, 1rx1_map
 set grid_slot, 1, e_lvl_0_1

 set grid_slot, 2, 1rx2
 set grid_slot, 2, 1rx2_map
 set grid_slot, 2, e_lvl_1_1


 Now, you should be set and have an image like that I posted on the
 PyMOLWiki.

Re: [PyMOL] APBS surface data export

2011-02-01 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Matt,

PyMOL does not currently allow you to export the data mapped to the surface.
However, the dx format is very straightforward. It follows a subset of the
OpenDX standard, as described on the APBS site (
http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/file-formats/mesh-and-data-formats/opendx-scalar-data
).

I don't know much about surface file formats, but the PyMOL wiki mentions (
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Surface#Exporting_Surface.2FMesh_Coordinates_to_File)
that you can save surface coordinates to a file. It might be possible for a
developer (you?) to convince PyMOL to write out the electrostatic potential
along with whatever else it's writing to the .wrl file.

Hope that helps,

-Michael

Re: [PyMOL] OpenDX files from opendx.org

2010-10-18 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi David,

As far as I know, PyMOL is still using its own DX reading functions
(primarily ObjectMapDXStrToMap in layer2/ObjectMap.c if anyone's curious).

I don't think it would be too much work to get PyMOL to read regular.dx. As
far as I can tell, the only problem is that PyMOL is expecting the line that
starts with object 3 to say object 3 class array type double instead of
object 3 class array float.

As for regularskewed.dx, PyMOL *does* support non-orthogonal maps (see e.g.
http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05870.html),
but I'm not sure that PyMOL's DX reader supports them directly.

I have not looked into the VMD plugins. If they support non-orthogonal DX
maps out of the box, that might be a quick and easy solution.

Cheers,

-Michael

Re: [PyMOL] Deleting and Loading multiple SDF files

2010-09-23 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Renuka,

Please keep all PyMOL-related correspondence on the mailing list. That way,
other people can find the answers by reading the mailing list or searching
the web.

Your task is now getting a little more complicated. I think you'll probably
want to define some Python functions and use them. It's useful to know that
using the distance command with mode=2 will show polar contacts. Also,
distance objects with names starting with an underscore won't show up in the
GUI.


I'd do something like this:

1. Define some functions in a Python file that you can use via run (or
perhaps in your .pymolrc). [see
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Python_Integration and
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Script_Tutorial]. You'll need to pass the
name of your protein to these functions.

import os
from pymol import cmd

def loadclust(filename,protname):
cmd.load(filename)
dir,fname = os.path.split(filename)
# PyMOL automatically names the object by the filename
fname,extension = os.path.splitext(fname)
# cluster_4 -- 4
custernum = fname.split('_')[1]
# hidden from GUI display because it starts with _
polarname = '_polar_'+clusternum
cmd.dist(polarname,fname,protname,mode=2)
cmd.extend('loadclust',loadclust)
def delclust(filename):
dir,fname = os.path.split(filename)
# PyMOL automatically names the object by the filename
fname,extension = os.path.splitext(fname)
# cluster_4 -- 4
custernum = fname.split('_')[1]
# hidden from GUI display because it starts with _
polarname = '_polar_'+clusternum
cmd.delete(fname)
cmd.delete(polarname)
cmd.extend('delclust',delclust)

2. Then you should be able to use a similar procedure to
before. Remember that you now need to delete things and pass the name of
your protein to the functions so that polar contacts can be displayed
correctly:

for i in glob.glob(Model_1/cluster_*.sdf): loadclust(i,myprotein)

analyze things

for i in glob.glob(Model_1/cluster_*.sdf): delclust(i,myprotein)

for i in glob.glob(Model_2/cluster_*.sdf): loadclust(i,myprotein)

Unfortunately, I don't have any SD files on hand, so I haven't tested these!
Some modification may be necessary. You should also check out the script
that Jason linked.

 Dear Michael
 Thanks for your detailed reply. This is what exactly i needed. Now i want
 to find the hydrogen bonding between each cluster files and the protein. So
 i do the following step

 cd /home/user

 import glob


  then I load the Model_1 files with


  for i in glob.glob(Model_1/cluster_*.sdf): cmd.load(i)


  Now hydrogen bond should be displayed between protein and
 Model_1/cluster_*.sdf. Polar contacts in different colors would be more
 appreciated.


  Could you please attach your script in the above command, so that all the
 cluster_*.sdf is loaded and its polar contacts is displayed in one press.


  Thanks in advance

 Renuka.

 Hi Renuka,

 If I understand correctly, this is what you want to do:

 1. Load up all of the cluster*.sdf files in Model_1.
 2. Analyze them
 3. Delete them
 4. Load up all of the cluster*.sdf files in Model_2.
 5. Analyze them
 6. Delete them
 etc.

 If that's right, I think the easiest thing is just to change to the
 directory that contains your Model_N subdirectories. In your example, that
 would be:

 cd /home/user
 import glob

 then load the Model_1 files with

 for i in glob.glob(Model_1/cluster_*.sdf): cmd.load(i)

 then analyze them. It sounds like you're analyzing them by hand; if you're
 analyzing them by running some scripts, we can probably help to automate
 that process as well.

 After analyzing them, (and saving your results!), you'll want to delete the
 current batch of cluster files and load the new ones:

 delete cluster_*
 for i in glob.glob(Model_2/cluster_*.sdf): cmd.load(i)

 Note that you only have to type import glob once.

 Hope that helps,

 -Michael

Re: [PyMOL] Wizard Measurement

2010-09-05 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Martin,

I find that the easiest way to recreate things like this is with cmd.do.
cmd.do('wizard measurement') is identical to typing 'wizard measurement'
from the command line.

In this particular case, it looks to me like just calling
cmd.wizard('measurement') works. Did you find problems when you didn't call
refresh_wizard?

Thanks,

 Observing what happens in the log-file when doing this shows that two

 wizard measurement
 refresh_wizard


 I figured out, that I can write cmd.wizard(measurement) into the
 function definition (called mes, in mes.py), and the measurement box
 appears. What I cant figure out is how to implement the refreshment of
 the wizard using the PyMOL-API.
 Can someone point this out to me?

 Thanks for any help on this, btw. the same thing would kind of be nice

Re: [PyMOL] Start PyMOL from command line

2010-09-01 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Martin,

I know a few ways to do this:

1) If you've set your Mac up to load PDB files with PyMOL by default, you
can just type open *.pdb from the command line.

2) Instead of using OS X's open command, you can launch PyMOL directly via
/Applications/PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL *.pdb (you may
have to change that depending on where you have PyMOL installed).

3) From within PyMOL, you can type

from glob import glob
for f in glob.glob(*.pdb): cmd.load(f)

and it will load them all.


There's more information to be found on the wiki (
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Launching_PyMOL), including information
on how to set up aliases so that you can just type pymol to launch it.
It's worth noting that pymol -c will launch PyMOL in batch mode without
the GUI, which may not be what you want.

Cheers,

-Michael

[PyMOL] Some plugin development questions

2010-03-04 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all,

I'm trying to pretty up the next version of the APBS plugin and I've
run into two issues that I'm hoping others have solved:

1. Does anyone have any experience with PMW's OptionMenu? I've been
trying something where I call an OptionMenu's setitem() and it keeps
failing no matter what I do. Perhaps someone can just point me at some
working sample code.

2. I'm having trouble launching command-line Python scripts from my
plugin on OS X. Scripts complain about things like import time
failing that work from the command line. I have a wrapper function
that works on Windows, OS X and Linux for normal binaries, and I've
included it below. It looks to me like programs launched via PyMOL
(either via os.system or via subprocess.call) just don't get a proper
environment set up, thus causing Python imports to fail, but I'm not
entirely sure.

I typically work around this in an ugly way: I mess around with
sys.path, import whatever.py and then call whatever.main() directly.
This is obviously quite fragile and depends on whatever.py to have a
nice whatever.main() defined. It gets substantially worse when
whatever.py wants lots of things in its own path.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know a nice workaround?

Thanks,

-Michael

  Hi,

 Another idea that came to mind while staring at MD trajectories all day is
 the ability to display measured values (distance, angle, dihedral, etc) in a
 localized or boxed in area (maybe even under the list of objects).  The main
 use for a measurement area would be to make it easier to monitor allosteric
 effects.  For example, from an MD simulation, if I have a protein that has
 two distant binding sites and I want to monitor the effects on site A
 (perhaps, the cavity of site a changes) when the inhibitor binds to site B.
 In PyMOL, I could measure the distance between the inhibitor and site B but
 it may simply be too far away to see the changing value as I flip through
 the frames since it is so far away from site A.  If the measurement was
 instead displayed in its own distinct area, independent of the molecule
 viewing pane then this could be helpful (or have it displayed in both a
 separate location as well as the molecule viewing area).

 Just a thought.

You should see a button labeled Abort at the bottom right of the external

you started the ray tracer by clicking the Ray button in that same window,
but it appears to work no matter how you start the ray tracer now (1.2r2).

[PyMOL] Showing electric field lines

2010-02-10 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all,

Someone recently asked me if there was a way to display field lines with
PyMOL or with an external plugin. Here's what I wrote:

It turns out that PyMOL recently grew the ability to display field lines.
After you've run APBS, you'll have a map object called pymol-generated. Try
this series of commands from the PyMOL prompt:

gradient my_grad, pymol-generated
ramp_new my_grad_ramp, pymol-generated
color my_grad_ramp, my_grad

I'm considering building this into the next version of the plugin.

Cheers,

-Michael

 color grey80, elem c
 color white, elem h
 color red, elem o
 color blue, elem n
 color orange, elem s

 and so on (in python, these become 'cmd.color(grey80, elem c)', etc.).
  I just discovered that there is also a separate color name for each
 element, e.g. color carbon, elem c will work, but the default coloring
 scheme seems a bit wacky sometimes (carbon is green, etc.).  If there was a
 convenient way to switch between available color sets (e.g. all of the

[PyMOL] Pre-release version of the PyMOL-APBS plugin

2010-01-28 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all,

I've been working with Jason Vertrees on a new version of the PyMOL-APBS
plugin and it's now ready for pre-release. There are three big advantages of
the new version:

* It's been tested modern OS X, Windows and Linux systems and fixes several
long-standing bugs.
* It allows you to call through to PDB2PQR directly.
* It has two visualization panels to aid in showing multiple potential
surfaces at once.

I've also upped the default maximum allowed memory since typical users have
bigger and faster computers these days.

The main reason that I'm sending this out now is to get bug reports. I think
it runs everywhere, but *please* let me know if you have problems with it.
Once it's shown to be stable, it'll be included in the next PyMOL release.

A slightly longer list of changes is included below.

== How to get it ==

There are two ways to get the new plugin

* If you have subversion installed, you can always get the latest version
via

svn co
https://pymolapbsplugin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pymolapbsplugin/trunk/pymolapbsplugin

* You can download the it from
http://pymolapbsplugin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pymolapbsplugin/trunk/src/apbsplugin.py

That should give you a file called apbsplugin.py

Once you have the plugin, you can install it via PyMOL's plugin installer:
Plugin -- Manage Plugins -- Install

Note that the plugin will be installed as APBS Tools2 so that you can
continue to use your old version.

== Longer feature list ==

* The ability to call through directly to PDB2PQR
* More modern apbs input files
* Two visualization panels. It's often quite useful to look at two different
electrostatic potentials at once. It's also quite useful to look at
electrostatic potentials mapped onto two different surfaces at once.
Multiple visualization panels makes this a snap: just set up one surface on
panel 1 and another surface on panel 2.
* Fixes several bugs that caused crashes on both OS X and Linux systems
* Increased maximum allowed memory
* Switch from os.system to subprocess for running external programs
* Deals with paths on Windows properly
* Gives better diagnostic information so that PyMOL/APBS developers can find
bugs more easily
* Lots of internal code cleanup

You can find this same information on the PyMOL wiki:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/User:Mglerner

Thanks,

-Michael

[PyMOL] Rendering plugin

2010-01-21 Thread Michael Lerner
With all of the recent discussion about extensions to the ray command, I
thought I'd mention a little plugin I wrote several years ago. You can find
it at the bottom of

http://sitemaker.umich.edu/carlsonlab/resources.html

It's not quite as full-featured as some of the proposed ray extensions, but
it does provide a really easy way for you to say I want a 4in x 3in figure
at 600dpi.

The Ray button raytraces, and the Draw button just draws the image
without raytracing (a fast way to see that the height/width look good).

It warns you not to have the plugin window on top of your main PyMOL window
when you click Ray. That doesn't seem to be necessary anymore, at least on
my MacBook Pro.

This solution:

Re: [PyMOL] Feature Requests/Ideas (Sean Law)

2010-01-21 Thread Michael Lerner
I think this works. It handles different units (in and cm). If you leave out
width or height, it gets scaled correctly. If you  leave them both out, you
get whatever the current viewport size is (is there something better?).

#!/usr/bin/env pymol

from pymol import cmd

def rayy(width=-1,height=-1,dpi=300,units='in',**kwargs):

Slightly better version of the ray command.
You can specify width and height in the units of your choice, e.g.

rayy 3,2,units=in,dpi=300
rayy 3in,2in
rayy 1in, 2 cm, dpi=600

Extra keyword arguments get passed on to the normal ray command.

if type(dpi) in [type('')]: dpi = int(dpi)
in_per_cm = 0.393700787
def todots(x,units,dpi):
if type(x) in [type('')]:
x = x.lower()
if 'in' in x:   units = 'in'
elif 'cm' in x: units = 'cm'
x = float(x.replace(units,'').strip())
if units ==   'cm':   x = x * in_per_cm
elif units == 'in': pass
else: raise ValueError('Unknown units (%s)'%units)
print x,units,dpi
return int(x * dpi)
# How do we get current width/height of viewport? MainSceneGetSize

Re: [PyMOL] Feature Requests/Ideas (Sean Law)

2010-01-21 Thread Michael Lerner
Here's a slightly improved version. It only kicks in if dpi is specified. I
think that you could make the obvious modifications to the help message and
argument list and use it as a replacement for cmd.ray (as long as you're
aware of the fact that the argument list will be different).

#!/usr/bin/env pymol

from pymol import cmd

def rayy(width=-1,height=-1,dpi=-1,units='in',**kwargs):

Slightly better version of the ray command.
You can specify width and height in the units of your choice, e.g.

rayy 3,2,units=in,dpi=300
rayy 3in,2in
rayy 1in, 2 cm, dpi=600

Extra keyword arguments get passed on to the normal ray command.

Units can be 'in' or 'cm'.

For backwards compatibility, the conversion to dpi (or dots per
centimeter) is only performed when dpi is specified.

if type(dpi) in [type('')]: dpi = int(dpi)
in_per_cm = 0.393700787
def todots(x,units,dpi):
if type(x) in [type('')]:
x = x.lower()
if 'in' in x:
units = 'in'
elif 'cm' in x:
units = 'cm'
x = float(x.replace(units,'').strip())
if (dpi == -1):
return x
if units ==   'cm':   x = x * in_per_cm
elif units == 'in': pass
else: raise ValueError('Unknown units (%s)'%units)
print '%s%s at %sdpi'%(x,units,dpi)
return int(x * dpi)
# How do we get current width/height of viewport? MainSceneGetSize
perhaps
# But it doesn't matter, as PyMOL will autoscale internally for us when
given -1.

In keeping with the modern way of doing things, I've

1. put the rendering plugin up on the wiki (
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Rendering_Plugin )
2. put a metric version of the plugin on the same page
3. put the rayy code on my userpage on the wiki ( see my .pymolrc here:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/User:Mglerner ). If you add it to your
.pymolrc, you will be able to type rayy 3 in, 2 in, dpi=300 from the PyMOL
command line
4. Followed Luca Jovine's suggestion to change the order of rayy's
arguments.

Re: [PyMOL] dynamic bonding

2009-12-14 Thread Michael Lerner
I remember this posting from a while ago:

which may have some clues.

Whoops, my bad -- I duped the approval before seeing your repost!

Answer:


# first create a phony molecular trajectory

load $PYMOL_PATH/test/dat/pept.pdb, obj

for a in range(2,31): cmd.create(obj,obj,1,a)

unbond 5/c, 6/n

sculpt_activate obj, 30

sculpt_iterate obj, 30, 100

# then program a bond-break/re-form movie

mset 1 x30 1 -30 30 x30 30 -1

mdo 45: unbond 5/c, 6/n, quiet=1

 Nick,

 Interesting question.  My best guess at this point is that PyMOL can't
 do what you want.  You can load the XYZ file into multiple distinct
 objects:

load myXYZ.xyz, multiplex=1

 and each object will be shown with proper bonding.  However, the
 moment you try to combine those into one structure they retain the
 bonding topology of the first structure.  If you change any
 intermediate state, then they all change.

 Anyone else?

  Hello list,
 
  I have a bunch of xyz files that are along a transition path in a
 molecule.
  When I load all of them into pymol and step through the individual
 frames,
  pymol calculates the bonds only for the initial frame. This leads to
 wrong
  bonding in subsequent frames since some atoms move quite a bit during the
  transition. How can I get dynamic bonding so that bonding is
 recalculated
  for each frame?

We solved the problem this afternoon. The version of APBS that comes with
PyMOL does not work on Tiger (10.4). Neither does the universal binary of

An older version of apbs (0.5) worked. We are in the middle of installing

Can you go to the Program Locations tab and find out which version of APBS
you're using? There's a problem with the one in
/Applications/PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/pymol/freemol/bin.

I've added instructions for fixing this problem to

they work for you?

Re: [PyMOL] Creating a single PDB from two PDB - ala docking by hand

I definitely remember some mode where PyMOL would show good/bad contacts

couldn't figure it out myself. Does anyone know how to put PyMOL into that
mode?

 In the A menu for the (sele) you just created pick copy to object.
 PyMOL will create a new pdb with all of the coordinates of the two pdb

 Rename it if you'd like, and save the new pdb out from the File

  Dear All,
 
  I am trying to build a single PDB file from two different PDB
  files.  One PDB has a small organic ligand, and the second PDB
  contains amino acid side chains from an active site.
 
  I load both PDB files, but I want to freeze the orientation of
  the amino acid side chains PDB ( not move it), and then place and
  orient the ligand PDB in a certain pose with respect to the amino
  acid side chains.
 
  Ideally, I would then like to save the coordinates for both the
  amino side chains and the ligand coordinates to a single PDB
  file.
 
  In the long run, I want to run a simple minimization on an
  possible active site cluster and I want to get a feel for the
  energetics of the ligand in the active site.  I don't like working
  with MOLDEN or some of the other suites out there and I wanted to
  try this with PyMOL.  I've gone through the manual, the web,
  pymolwiki, the masking and protecting options, and I've tried
  examining the use of frames and split_states, but I haven't come
  up with anything.
 
  I've heard about a demo that Warren DeLano put on for the ACS
  where, as part of the demo, he showed off some toy example where
  he docked a ligand in by hand, complete with having PyMOL show
  red/green dots for steric clashes/matches.
 
  Any ideas?

Re: [PyMOL] problems with apbs/pqr

2009-08-05 Thread Michael Lerner
Whoops! I accidentally replied only to James, rather than to the whole list.
PyMOL has some trouble with assigning charges. PDB2PQR handles it, but
manages to generate a bad PQR (missing the space between some columns with
leading minus signs, e.g. -100.2345-100.2345). Fixing the PQR file by hand
fixes the problem.

 your structure which might need to be removed prior to performing a
 calculation.  These may be alternate conformations of amino acid side
 chains, ligands, or other unrecognized groups which cannot be processed for
 APBS.

 Cheers,
 Warren

 Subject: [PyMOL] problems with apbs/pqr

 Hi all,

 My apologies if this has been covered by this list before, but I
 couldn't find mention of it:

 I'm trying to calculate an electrostatic surface for my protein. The
 APBS Tools plug-in crashes with the message:

 WARNING: 502 atoms did not have formal charges assigned
 WARNING: 1051 atoms did not have properties assigned

 This happens whether I use a pqr file from PDB2PQR or the PyMol
 generated PQR.

 I'm running OS X (Intel), Pymol version 1.2r0. I also tried it though
 on a linux machine, and got the same error. This plug-in works fine
 with several other coordinate files. I tried removing the chain ids
 from the pdb file, but that did not help.

 Can anyone offer any advice on this?

Re: [PyMOL] is this how i would write a coding sequence?

2009-07-07 Thread Michael Lerner
Aha! I knew there was a better way of doing this, but I was stuck on a
machine that only had an old version of PyMOL. Assuming you're using PyMOL
1.0 or newer, you can just use pseudoatom. To create a sphere of radius 10.0
at the xyz position (50.0,60.0,12.0), just do this:

pseudoatom mysphere, pos=[50.0,60.0,12.0], vdw=[10.0]

it will appear as a kind of cross at first. to show it as a sphere, type

show spheres, mysphere

to make it partially transparent, type

set sphere_transparency, 0.5, mysphere

The sphere that you get will look kind of blocky. You can get a perfect
sphere by raytracing, e.g. typing

ray

If you don't mind the fact that it won't be transparent, you can get a
perfect sphere in the normal viewer by typing

set sphere_mode, 5

To go back to normal spheres after you've done that, type

unset sphere_mode

I think this will be easier than the other way I recommended.

Cheers,

-michael

Re: [PyMOL] pymol question

2009-07-06 Thread Michael Lerner
I'm sure there's a way to actually draw a circle, but for your particular
use it might be better to use a sphere. If you're comfortable with python
scripting, you can use CGO objects. If not, you might do something like
this:

fetch 1hhp
create thing, resi 24 and name ca # create a new object from some single
atom selection
alter thing, vdw=10.0 # set desired radius
rebuild # necessary if spheres have already been shown
show spheres, thing
alter_state 1, thing, x,y,z = 50,60,10 # set desired x,y,z coords
set sphere_transparency, 0.5, thing # make it transparent
zoom
ray

you can also use something like select + within to select all residues
within a cutoff, but I got the impression you wanted a nice visualization.


Hope that helps,

 My issue is that once i rename MacPyMOL.app to PyMOLX11Hybrid.app I end up
 opening a version of PyMOL that has the the top area or the  External GUI

 Since the external GUI has all the user friendly menu bars for a layman like

 secondary command line and it would be almost impossible for a person like
 me to work using this only. I am wondering if the PyMOLX11 version works

 Or, is it something that I have done that made the external GUI

 This is what i didwhen i tried opening the PyMOLX11Hybrid on my

 I do not have multiple monitors connected to my computer and I am not using

Re: [PyMOL] select by absolute coordinate

2009-03-04 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

I have a couple of quick notes about your specific application:

This works well when bilayers are flat. So, it works well for small bilayers
and it works well at the beginning of a simulation. For medium to large
bilayers, undulations throughout the simulation will cause this algorithm to
break.

Here are some other things that don't work:

 - selecting all lipids where atom X is higher than atom Y. In longer
simulations, lipids wiggle around enough that the heads can tilt and the
tails can even be higher than the heads.

 - same as above, but looking at the center of mass of the head vs. the COM
of the tail. This fails for the same reason. It turns out that lipids really
wiggle a lot.

 - etc.

These are easy errors to miss because the algorithms work well at the
beginning of the simulation, so even a quick visual examination won't show
the problems.

In my experience, the easiest thing to do is to use your method on the first
frame of a simulation, inspect the selection visually, and then write it out
explicitly for use in subsequent frames.

You probably know all of this, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone
was tempted to just take your code and apply it individually to each frame
of a simulation without really thinking about it. Unfortunately, I've seen
people make this particular error a few times (in both VMD and C), and
usually you can't tell they're making it just by reading their Methods
section :(.

Cheers,

-michael

 Hey Warren,

 It is remarkable that a question like this hasn't come up before, but it
 reveals a rather large whole in PyMOL's selection language:  though we have
 some proximity operators, we are not currently able to select atoms based on
 absolute or relative coordinate vector relationships.

 So the present answer to your question appears to be no.  Sorry about
 that!


 Just to give the application to my question: If you wanna select the upper
 leaflet of a bilayer - an easy method - shown to me in VMD is to select by
 residue all Phosphor atoms with e.g. z  40...

 Well I scripted a bit around it which worked in my case:

 def leafletIndex():
 '''
 Create leaflet indices for upper and lower bilayer, based on Phosphor
 atoms
 '''


 cmd.delete(Phosphor)
 cmd.delete(UpperLeaflet)
 cmd.delete(LowerLeaflet)




 cmd.select(Phosphor,name P*)
 ext=cmd.get_extent(Phosphor)
 lower=ext[0][2]
 upper=ext[1][2]
 middle=upper-lower
 atoms = cmd.get_model(Phosphor)

 cmd.select(UpperLeaflet,None)
 cmd.select(LowerLeaflet,None)

 for at in atoms.atom:
 if at.coord[2]  middle:
 cmd.select(UpperLeaflet,UpperLeaflet or index %d%at.index)
 else:
 cmd.select(LowerLeaflet,LowerLeaflet or index %d%at.index)


 cmd.select(UpperLeaflet,byres UpperLeaflet)
 cmd.select(LowerLeaflet,byres LowerLeaflet)
 cmd.deselect()

[PyMOL] How to view electron densities from the PDB

2008-06-27 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

This is probably a fairly basic question, but I'm stumped. I want to
visualize electron densities along with my PDB file. So, say I'm interested
in 2DJX. I go to the PDB and download 2DJX.pdb and 2djx-sf.cif. PyMOL
doesn't seem to read the CIF file (?), so I downloaded and installed the
PDB's tool sf-convert (http://sw-tools.pdb.org/apps/SF-CONVERT/index.html).
I tried

sf-convert -i CIF -o Xplor -sf 2djx-sf.cif

but got some errors about the input format.

sf-convert -i mmCIF -o Xplor -sf 2djx-sf.cif

seemed to work (it produced a .Xplor file with what looks like data to me).
However, PyMOL gives me errors when I try to load the resulting .xplor file.

This may not be directly related to PyMOL, but I'm hoping it's a common
enough task that someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

-michael

Re: [PyMOL] Command-line arguments when using PyMOL to launch a script

2008-02-15 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

First, the initial error you were seeing was a syntax error:

 from sys import argv
 my_argv =3D argv[argv.index(--):]
 print my_argv[1], my_argv[2]

is failing because of the word 3D

Second, that used to fail on Linux systems anyway (it worked on some
other systems). I tend to use optparse, which often requires things to
live in sys.argv. Here's my current workaround:

#argv = sys.argv[sys.argv.index('--') + 1:]
try:
argv = sys.argv
except AttributeError:
argv = pymol_argv
sys.argv = pymol_argv # this is necessary for optparse to
handle the --help option.
try:
argv = argv[argv.index('--') + 1:]
except IndexError:
argv = []

options,args = parser.parse_args(args=argv)

I haven't re-tested Linux recently, though. It might be that the
pymol_argv workaround is not necessary anymore.

Re: [PyMOL] apbs plugin for macpymol

2007-12-07 Thread Michael Lerner
 I would like to use apbs from within PyMOL.  I have downloaded and
 installed the latest version of apbs, and apbs_tools.py exists in
 $PYMOL_PATH/modules/pmg_tk/startup/.  However, I find no plugins entry
 in any of the PyMOL menus.

I think that you need to rename the application bundle to
PyMOLX11Hybrid in order to use plugins.

 Am I blind or daft?  But the question I'd
 really like to have answered is how do I get abps to work.

I would suggest

1) register APBS here http://agave.wustl.edu/apbs/download/
2) Install fink ( http://finkproject.org/ ) and then use it to install
apbs (e.g. by typing fink install apbs on the command line).

hope that helps,

-michael


 I'm using educational MacPyMOL, which integrates and extends
 Open-Source PyMOL 1.0r1.

 Thanks.

[PyMOL] Trouble making pictures in a script

2007-10-25 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

I have a Python script that sets a system up and then calls cmd.png()
to render an image. I use it to process several files at a time, and
there's no need to look at it while it's working, so I use

pymol -qcr myscript.py

to launch it. It works fine when I ray trace things, but if I just set
the system up and call cmd.png(), I get this error:

 ScenePNG-WARNING: invalid context or no image.

Calling cmd.draw() instead of cmd.ray() doesn't seem to fix things.
Any ideas? Some of the systems are big enough that cmd.ray() fails, so
I'd like to be able to find a workaround.

Thanks,

[PyMOL] Why can't I get to sys.argv on Linux?

2007-08-14 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

I'm using PyMOL as a front end to a few scripts. So, I need to get my
hands on sys.argv to process the command-line arguments. On OS X,
everything works just like I'd expect. However, on Linux, I can't get
sys.argv. Here's a very simple Python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
print dir(sys)
print sys.argv

When I run pymol -cr ./my_script.py on Linux, I get this:

PyMOLrun ./x.py,main

'__stderr__', '__stdin__', '__stdout__', '_getframe', 'api_version',

[PyMOL] Command-line arguments when using PyMOL to launch a script

2007-08-01 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi,

I have a script that uses PyMOL to aid with a lot of calculations. So,
I run the script like this:

pymol -c script.py

The script has grown so that it has a lot of options. Right now, I
edit the script every time I want to change them. If it were a normal
Python script, I'd run it like

script.py --do=something --when=now

Is there a standard way to do this via PyMOL? Ideally, I'd like to say

pymol -qcr script.py --do=something --when=now
and have script.py think that sys.argv == ['script.py',
'--do=something', '--when=now'].

I pawed through pymol.invocation.py, and it looks like PyMOL respects
the convention where it won't parse arguments after a '--', so my
current workaround is to launch things like

pymol -qcr script.py -- -do=something --when=now

and then this in my script:

argv = sys.argv[sys.argv.index('--') + 1:]
...
# parse with optparse
options,args = parser.parse_args(args=argv)

So, is there a more standard way of doing this? If not, hopefully
google will find this for me the next time I have this question :).

Thanks,

Re: [PyMOL] Single transparent sphere

2007-04-09 Thread Michael Lerner

The pseudoatom business looks very cool.  I'll have to try it out.

In the meantime, I wanted to mention that you certainly can make
transparent CGOs.  Here's some code that I wrote to visualize dock
output in our lab.  The files it reads in have lines that look like

junk x y z r junk temp junk

Where x,y,z are the coordinates, r is the radius and temp is some
index that we use to look up colors.  If you save this in a file,
you'll have a new command, sds, that will read in such a file and show
the output as spheres.  Transparency defaults to 0.4, but you can
change it.

Re: [PyMOL] Visualizing Molecular Orbitals in PyMol

2007-02-19 Thread Michael Lerner

Hi,

I don't remember the details, but I do remember that I had some
troubles using bricks when I was writing the APBS plugin.  The DX file
format is really simple, though, especially for this sort of thing.

http://apbs.sourceforge.net/doc/user-guide/index.html#opendx-format

If I recall correctly, my problems with bricks were mostly that I
wasn't using them correctly, but I didn't figure out how to use them
correctly until after I'd already converted everything to DX.

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone and for the responses to and encouragement about my
query on visualizing molecular orbitals in pymol.

I'm using PyMol 0.99rc6.

I feel like I'm quite close to a solution. I've developed a routine to
compute a 3 dimensional matrix containing the probability amplitudes
of the orbitals, which I can load into a PyMol brick object.

Then, things start to go wrong

When I use the load_brick function in the cmd module;

cmd.load_brick(brik, Brick)

or alternatively,

cmd.load_object(loadable.brick, brik, Brik)

PyMol returns the message;

 ObjectMap: Map Read.  Range = 0.000 to 0.000

but it does display the object Brick in the objects menu. I can then
create an isomesh or surface with the command;

cmd.isosurface(BrikSurf, Brick, 0.1)

But no surface is displayed on screen.

The example file brick01.py that is included in examples/devel does
something almost identical to what I'm trying to do, it displays an
exponentially decaying density, but also with no success in PyMol
0.99rc6. Is there a bug somewhere in the load_brick function that I'm
running into?

Thanks a lot!

Re: [PyMOL] Side by side views

2007-01-25 Thread Michael Lerner

Warren helped me with a similar problem a while ago (I can't find the link
in the mailing list archive), and this might do the job for you:

If you download and run my script at
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mlerner/Pymol/mg_pymol_utils.py
you can start up two PyMOL sessions.  You then type send_view in one of
them, receive_view in the other one, and the receive_view one will follow
along.

I don't know how to get that all working in one window, but you can always
just paste the images together.

I find this really useful for comparing structures with different ligands
bound, different parts of a dynamics run, etc.

In your case, you might need to align all of the structures to one reference
structure first, so that the views are similar.

Hope this helps,

-Michael Lerner

Re: [PyMOL] New plugin and Doubt with APBS Tools

2007-01-10 Thread Michael Lerner

We discussed this a bit off-list, and it looks like this was the answer:

The potentials are assigned to points in space.  That's why the
isosurfaces don't change, and also why the surface coloring changes
when you change the shape of the surface.

Hope that helps anyone else who might have this question,

[PyMOL] Showing the surface

2006-12-18 Thread Michael Lerner

Hi,

I want to show the electrostatic potential surface 10A away from a
protein.  I used to do this by setting all of the vdw radii to 10A,
but I'm wondering if there's a better way these days.  The surface I
got by altering the vdw radii always looked really choppy and not so
smooth.

Thank you,

Re: [PyMOL] Paths to loaded objects

2006-08-21 Thread Michael Lerner

I think he means for you to have a Load button as part of your
plugin.  That button would first record the path to the file and then
call through to cmd.load().

On 8/19/06, Ron Jacak r...@email.unc.edu wrote:

Peter,

 I'm working on a plugin that reads information appended to the end of
 PDB files to draw CGO objects.  Right now, I have the user specify
 the
 filesystem path to the currently loaded objects through the
 plugin GUI so that I know where to go to find the file.  For one
 object,
 this isn't so bad.  But if users load multiple objects that are in
 different directories, I will have to change the GUI so that the user
 has to specify the path to each object loaded.  This kind of
 situation
 would quickly become tedious.  Does PyMOL store the paths for objects
 that are loaded somewhere?  I know I can get the current working
 directory using getcwd(), so I'm hoping there's a way to get the
 path to
 the loaded objects as well.

 I don't know of a way to get file information from a pymol object,
 but you
 could work around this by using a python dictionary (when the pdb
 file is
 loaded, store the full path to the file in a dictionary using the
 pymol
 object name as the key).

I'm not sure I fully understand your suggestion.  It sounds to me
like what you're saying is that I should add code (e.g. a dictionary)
to the importing.py load() function which saves the file information
of objects as they're loaded.  But then instead of just distributing
my plugin, I would have to get users to change their PyMOL source, as
well (which I'm not willing to do).  Am I understanding correctly?

Any other ways around this problem?

[PyMOL] How do I show multiple conformations in a single crystal structure?

2006-07-25 Thread Michael Lerner

I have a crystal structure that contains two conformations for a
flexible loop.  They're both in the crystal structure, but have
occupancies less than one.   When I look at the structure in PyMOL, I
see only one conformation.  Is there a command similar to split_states
that will allow me to view both conformations at once?

[PyMOL] Can PyMOL read amber8 trajectory files?

2006-07-18 Thread Michael Lerner

I have some stuff from an amber8 (sander) MD run that I'd like to
visualize in PyMOL.  When I load it up, PyMOL says something like
assuming amber6 format and dies.  I'm using fink/pymol-py24 on an
intel macbook pro.  I always forget how to load amber files anyway, so
I could easily be screwing something up.  I call my topology file
something.top and here's what happens:

PyMOLload something.top
ObjectMolecule: Assuming this is an Amber6 topology file.

Re: [PyMOL] why is PyMOL renaming my residues?

2003-10-02 Thread michael lerner

Hi Warren,


PyMOL's PDB handling is an attempt to navigate a minefield of
incompatible standards which exist in the conventions of various
software packages.

Ugh.  I know more about incompatable PDB files than I ever wanted to.  I 
once wrote something much like Andrew Dalke's UPDB (see 
http://biopython.org/scriptcentral/).  Unfortunately, my version ended 
up being very slow, so I didn't get a chance to give it to the biopython 
folks.  I keep meaning to go back and speed it up, but I think they have 
a good PDB parser now.



Since version 0.90, PyMOL's behavior has changed.  Nowadays,
your input data:


snip


Would be returned as:
 


snip


...which does preserve atom names, but not the order.  Note that
white-space in the atom names is not preserved (an inherent limitation
in PyMOL -- significant white-space within identifier is hell on users
and parsers).  


Conventionally, atom names of length 3 or less are placed in the second
column, not the first -- so your LMN  atom may cause trouble.

That's fine with me.  I just had LMN  and  XYZ in there so that I 
could figure out exactly what PyMOL was changing.



Also note that by some conventions, 2OA2 in a PDB file really means
atom OA22.


I didn't know that.  What conventions are those?


Furthermore, in your example, they [ATOM IDs] are not unique (a mistake?).


yup, a mistake.


However, I am trying to bend PyMOL around to meet your needs a bit
better.

Towards this end, I've created a new setting pdb_retain_ids which
preserves the original PDB serial numbers in the output file.

In future PyMOL versions, so long as

set retain_order, 1
set pdb_retain_ids, 1
set pdb_no_end_record, 1

That's absolutely fantastic.  Right now, I have to use PyMOL, MOE and 
AMBER (sander and carnal are the real problems) on the same systems, and 
anything that makes this less painful is great!  I'll probably set 
retain_order and pdb_retain_ids in my .pymolrc.py and upgrade to the CVS 
version within the next couple of days. 


Thanks!

[PyMOL] why is PyMOL renaming my residues?

2003-09-26 Thread michael lerner

Hi,

If I load up a PDB file that looks like this:

31.54   O

HETATM 1314  LMN NAP   164  32.554  68.174  20.275   
41.05   O 


and then save it from PyMOL, the resulting PDB file looks like this:

HETATM1 2OA2 NAP   164  28.315  61.969  12.250  0.00 
31.54   O
HETATM2 3OA2 NAP   164  26.554  62.174  14.275  0.00

HETATM4  LMN NAP   164  32.554  68.174  20.275  0.00

HETATM5  XYZ NAP   164  30.554  66.174  18.275  0.00  
1.05   O

END

You'll note that OA22 has been renamed to 2OA2, OA23 has been renamed to 
3OA2 and ABCD has been renamed to DABC.  It looks to me like residue 
with a four-letter name is getting renamed. 

No .. wait .. it's a little stranger than that .. if I open up the 
second file (the one with DABC) and save *it*, I get this:


HETATM1 2OA2 NAP   164  28.315  61.969  12.250  0.00 
31.54   O

HETATM5  XYZ NAP   164  30.554  66.174  18.275  0.00  
1.05   O

END

Note that ABCD went to DABC which went to CDAB, but OA22 went to 2OA2 
and stayed there.  LMN and XYZ weren't touched.


Is there a way to supress this behavior?  It causes me a bit of trouble 
when, e.g., my AMBER parameter files expect residues to have certain names.


I'm not sure exactly when PyMOL decides to rename things .. if I 
shift-left-click on one of the residues in the first file (either before 
or after saving), PyMOL says You clicked NAP: /test1///164/OA23 (i.e. 
it gives me the original name).

2) my email program seems to have messed up some of the formatting in

in case that's still not formatted correctly, each line should begin 
with HETATM, and the point is that the atoms are named OA22, OA23, 
ABCD, XYZ  and  LMN respectively.


also, i noticed that PyMOL is changing the atom ID (OA22 was 1313 in the 
first file, but 1 in the second).  that's not actually causing me any 
trouble, but i'm curious: is there a way to make PyMOL leave the IDs alone?

Note that ABCD went to DABC which went to CDAB, but OA22 went to 2OA2 
and stayed there.  LMN and XYZ weren't touched.


Is there a way to supress this behavior?  It causes me a bit of 
trouble when, e.g., my AMBER parameter files expect residues to have 
certain names.


I'm not sure exactly when PyMOL decides to rename things .. if I 
shift-left-click on one of the residues in the first file (either 
before or after saving), PyMOL says You clicked NAP: 
/test1///164/OA23 (i.e. it gives me the original name).


thanks,
