Re: [PyMOL] weird distance measurements when pdb file contains symmetric atoms

2012-08-01 Thread Thomas Holder
Hi Pascal,

the problem is that PyMOL looks up atoms by ID, which are not unique 
in your structure. Possible workarounds:

1) disable dynamic measures:
PyMOL unset dynamic_measures

2) assign unique atom IDs:
PyMOL stored.ID = 0
PyMOL alter all, ID=stored.ID=stored.ID+1

Cheers,
   Thomas

 Hi,
 
 I encounter a weird behavior when I measure distances for atoms in the 
 attached pdb files.
 The distances that are measured are not associated with the picked atoms 
 but to some that have been generated by using the pymol symmetry 
 options, with segi activated.
 
 Any ideas ?
 
 Thanks a lot,
 
 Pascal

Re: [PyMOL] Help auto interpolate

2012-08-01 Thread Jason Vertrees
Hi Anke,

 we are currently trying to do movies and are running into some problems
 concerning the “auto interpolate” function of pymol. We realized that camera
 and molecule positions are always interpolated back to the position of frame
 1 at the end of the movie.

Autointerpolate is not the problem here. PyMOL likes to show smooth
transitions from camera position A to camera position B over the
intervening frames. So, the solution to your problem is to make sure
there are no intervening frames: save your last camera position in the
last frame.

# create a 60-frame movie

mset 1x60

# setup scene #1

scene 001, store

# do something different to setup scene #2

# store scene #2

scene 002, store

mview store, 1, scene=001

mview store, 60, scene=002


Now, the movie will not smoothly loop back to camera position 1.

Cheers,


-- Jason

[PyMOL] Preparation of the pdb for MD simulation

2012-08-01 Thread James Starlight
Dear PyMol users!


I have pdb structure wich I'd like to prepare for my MD simulation. In
that case this structure consist of some non-standart residue (
chromophore) wich is covalently bonded to the protein's backbone. The
main problem is that this structure has some missing residues on both
of the C and N termi wich I'd like to rebuild ussing some
homology-building teqnique. Could you advise me some web server wich
could done such simple task? It's very important that I 'd kile to
prevent deletion of the my heteroatomic groups after processing of my
pdb  into that server ( e.g servers like pdb2pqr delete heteroatomic
group after processing ).


Thanks for help

James

Re: [PyMOL] Ca sphere size from b-factor value

2012-08-01 Thread Douglas Kojetin
Hi Jason,

Thanks -- is there any way to add some limits to the scaling, say to alter the 
vdw radius from a value of 1 to 5 based on a b-factor range of values?

Doug

 Hi Douglas,
 
 You can do something as simple as this:
 
 # fetch a protein
 
 fetch 1ejg, async=0
 
 # show as spheres
 
 as spheres, n. CA
 
 # set the vdw radii = some factor of the b-factor
 
 alter n. CA, vdw=b/5
 
 rebuild
 
 Cheers,

 Hi All,
 
 I would like to set the sphere size for each Ca atom proportional to the 
 b-factor value (the larger the b-factor the larger the sphere size) and also 
 color the sphere based on the b-factor value.  Is there an easy way to 
 adjust the sphere size according to b-factor value?
 
 Thanks,
 Doug
