Hi, If you have the latest version of pymol and ANISOU in your pdb file, you just have to type: show ellipsoids, http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Ellipsoids Mathieu These kind of problems with r3d can usually be traced back to the header. In fact, the rastep page has the following snippet:

Interestingly, in the interactive 3D applet view of the ligand from the PDB the two are perfectly in plane, whereas in the protein viewer the two groups are clearly out of plane. I assume that this means that the coordinates for the 3D ligand view are re-computed internally and are not representati

Hello, I would like to display thermal ellipsoids in pymol. What I did was using rastep to make a r3d file and open it in pymol. If I generate the r3d file with no extra options: rastep < infile.pdb > outfile.r3d, pymol can open it. But if I generate the file with rastep -auto -fancy1 < infil

Hi Manfred thanks a lot for your comments, since they raise some interesting points. R_pim should give the precision of the averaged measurement, hence the name. It will decrease with increasing data redundancy, obviously. The decrease will be proportional to the square root of the redundancy

Hello,   Thank you for the reply about the refmac 5.5.0066 error. I downloaded refmac 5.5.0068 but there appears to be a problem for ARPwARP to recognise the version.  I reinstalled ARPwARP and the install shell script freezes when it looks for the refmac file.
