[PyMOL] Generating Image of Periodic System

2011-06-14 Thread Martin Hediger

Dear List
I am trying to prepare a figure. I have a protein structure, enclosed by 
a rectangular box. Is it possible to copy/translate the enboxed 
structure for a given amount of times? This would end up as something as 
an illustration of a system with periodic boundaries.
I attached a figure on my blog http://qmviews.blogspot.com/. If I cant 
come up with a PyMOL solution, then I guess I'll just try to find a 
Python solution.


Thanks for any hints on this.

Hi Martin,

have a look at:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Supercell

Run something like this:
supercell 2,2,2, withmates=1

Your structure file needs a CRYST1 record that holds the box dimensions.

Cheers,
   Thomas
