[PyMOL] Need advice on graphic card

2003-11-10 Thread Yu Chen
Hello, pymolers

I checked pymol's homepage about the graphic card. But still not so sure, 
hope someone would have similar setting as ours, so could give us some 
advices on what card to buy. 

We running Redhat 7.3, XFree86 4.2.0, kernel 2.4.18-3. Currently, we 
running on Matrox Millennium G450, the 3D-accelleration works fine in 
Merged mode but not in dual-head mode. While nmrview works fine in 
dual-head mode, but font messed up in Merged mode. So we can't get both to 
work right at the same setting. 

So will Radeon 8500 work with both?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Best
Chen

[PyMOL] Pymol 0.93 and OS X - X 11

2003-11-10 Thread Michele Fuortes
Hi all,

I'm using a G4 and so far i have been using the GNU-Darwin version which is
the CD I bought.
I use it starting from X11 in Panther and it worked well.
Now it seems that the new Mac version 0.93 is much faster. But no GUI menu :-(

What I tried to do is to copy all the new modules files from the new
version in the old version and it seems to work well, the display is now
REALLY fast.

The only problem is that python starts as a separate application instead of
starting into X11.

What would be the way to have python start inside X11 instead of its?

Thanks a lot


Michele

Re: [PyMOL] H-bond drawing?

2003-11-10 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Claire,

If it's only a few H-bonds, probably the quickest is the following:

Select the first atom with ctrl-shift left-mouse button
Select the second atom with crtl-shift right-mouse button
then issue the command 'distance '
That should draw you a nice dashed bond.

Hope it helps a bit, maybe Warren would have better ideas, but good luck!

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Hi there,

Sorry I'm going to ask probably a very basic question but could anyone
tell me how to create H-bonds in pymol?

I used SPDB viewer to model the interface between two dimers in a
tetrameric molecule.  I now need to create some good pictures of this for
my thesis as SPDB isn't really good enough.  I'd like to represent H-bonds
(not bond distances just bonds) e.g between ThrOG1 of subunit A and
Asp184OD1 of subunit D.  I'm presuming that pymol can do this-if so would
really appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to enter in the command
line as I'm afraid I'm not used to it and thesis deadline looms on thurs!

Many thanks,

Claire

RE: [PyMOL] H-bond drawing?

2003-11-10 Thread Gareth Stockwell
Hi Claire,

All you need to do is:

1) Create selections for the two atoms you want to H-bond.  There are
several different ways to do this in PyMOL (see the manual for details),
but for example, to bond
chain A, Thr 15 OG1
chain D, Asp 184 OD1
you would do
select donor, A/15/OG1
select acceptor, D/184/OD1

2) Create a h-bond object between these selections.  The easiest way is
to use PyMOL's "distance" command which draws a dashed line between
them.  It also shows the distance as a label, but you can turn this off
distance hbond, donor, acceptor
hide labels, x

3) Play with the settings to get it to look how you want.  Dashed lines
sometimes look a bit odd when you ray-trace them - I find that 
set dash_length, 0.15
set dash_radius, 0.09
set dash_width, 3.00
looks good.  You can put these commands in your .pymolrc to save typing
them all the time.

Hope that helps,
Gareth
