Re: [COOT] pymol does not cartoon-ize my "helices" : coot helical restraints

The last time I looked (which was some time ago!) PyMol would cartoonize if EITHER (a) the secondary structure was defined in the PDB file; OR (b) the Action Menu item "assign sec. struc." was selected. I don't know when this behavior changed, but the latest build from fink seems to displa

DSSP did indeed think they were helices. Also thanks for the sec str coloring tip-didnt realize coot had that feature. For the model coot also colors the helices pink as would be expected. So it must be that pymol cartoons still dont implement "DSSP" ..which I thought was the case Hari On Sat

Dear Hari -- Not being an expert, I can't answer for you... but it might be a good idea to post at: pymol-us...@lists.sourceforge.net Good luck. -- Leo -- On 6 Feb 2009, at 17:50, hari jayaram wrote: I have a low-ish resolution (3.5 ) map for a membrane protein. I have been using helical
