A new development release of MMTK is available for download. See
http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/MMTK/download.html
for details. The major new experimental feature is the PyMOL interface
module. If Python scripts using MMTK are run from inside PyMOL, then
all visualization routines will automatically use PyMOL. Animations of
all kind are supported.
The PyMOL interface module also permits to obtain molecular data from
PyMOL and work on it. This is illustrated by two plugins, which can be
downloaded as well:
- normal_mode_plugin.py
Computes normal modes using a simplified model for the protein that is
loaded into PyMOL. The normal modes are shown using animations.
- deformation_plugin.py
Performs a normal-mode based deformation analysis that identifies
rigid
and flexible regions in a protein. The result is shown by
colour-coding.
A third plugin, trajectory_plugin.py, loads MMTK trajectories into
PyMOL for visualization.
As always, feedback is welcome!
