Hi, if anybody is still interested in the topic, I have made a DSSP plugin for running DSSP and coloring proteins according to the DSSP secondary structure assignment. Please have a look at:
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/DSSP This plugin invokes DSSP (presuming you already have DSSP binary on your hard drive) and reads the output using BioPython. It then makes several selections, each for a kind of secondary structure elements (SSE) if there is at least one residue in the input selection is assigned with the SSE. regards, hongbo On 04/06/2011 04:34 PM, H.
