Re: [PyMOL] Finding distances along molecular tunnels

2012-04-03 Thread Thomas Holder
Hi Sajeewa,

 [...]
 If I follow wizard -- measurements -- distance it asks for atoms to
 click on, but as the tunnels are empty space when I click on the
 starting points of the tunnels nothing is recognized.
 What would be the most accurate way of measuring the above two distances?

The tunnel is not really empty space, it's actually composed of 
pseudo-atoms and it's just a matter of visual representation. Hiding the 
surface and showing lines should be sufficient.

hide surface
show lines

Now try to use the measurement wizard.

Cheers,
   Thomas

 Tricky one I tried hide cartoon, name P but no go..

 instead cartoon skip will do it.

Re: [PyMOL] problem installing pymol plugin

2012-04-03 Thread Thomas Holder
Hi Vaibhav,

First: I assume you did NOT copy the PocketPickerScript to C:\Program 
Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\modules\pmg_tk\startup, otherwise there 
would not be a No such file error.

Second: The plugin does not use the best coding style, it has hard coded 
file paths. So I would not be surprised if you will encounter more 
errors when using it. However, the plugin works for me on my Linux box 
after some modifications.

Also, there is no version command in PyMOL, but a get_version command.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
   Thomas

[PyMOL] Protein Parameters?

2012-04-03 Thread Shane Neeley
Hi,

This is unrelated to PyMol, but I just wanted to spam the community to see
what they think about different protein parameters. Let me know if this
sort of question is inappropriate for the forum.

I have thousands of randomly generated 7 amino acid peptide sequences that
are within a virus. As we subject this virus to reproduction selective
pressure in cell lines, we get back functional viruses with certain 7 amino
acid sequences, while most random sequences are null mutations. So I am now
testing the the positive sequences to see what they have in common, or what
is most important.

I am doing this with a likely structural sequence and a likely surface
sequence.

So far I have these params from http://web.expasy.org/protparam/ and ConSurf

1) Isoelectric Point
2) Molecular Weight (may mean bulkiness)
3) GRAVY: grand average of hydropathicity
4) Conservation of AAs at given locations

Do any of you protein experts know of other parameters that I could be
testing? Maybe something like Phi-value analysis?

Re: [PyMOL] Protein Parameters?

2012-04-03 Thread Joel Tyndall
Hi Shane,

Whilst I am no expert, I would think possible a sequence motif (based on amino 
acid composition) may help. It may show up certain amino acids at specific 
points. Given the short length of the peptides, the question is what are they 
used for?

Hope this helps

[PyMOL] Application deadline approaching: CCP4 summer school at APS, in USA

2012-04-03 Thread Sanishvili, Ruslan
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to point out that the application deadline for the 5th annual 
CCP4 Summer School From data collection to structure refinement and beyond is 
April 17, 2012. The school will take place from June 19 through June 26, 2012 
at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) near Chicago.
There is no registration fee for the school. The students will be responsible 
for their own travel and lodging expenses. These and other details (The 
program, the list of speakers, the application process, accommodations, site 
access, contacts etc) can be found at the workshop website at 
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2012/index.php
The school will cover all aspects of macromolecular structure determination and 
validation.

Some of the world's leading experts will be providing instruction and hand-on 
help.
We are looking forward to another productive school this summer.

Garib, Ronan and Nukri

Hi Thanks for the tip Joel.

I checked a few of the sequences for protein motifs but because they are so 
sort and because there really is no known function, i think it is unlikely to 
have any hits.
