[PyMOL] torsion + movie

2005-08-15 Thread Xavier Deupi
Hi, I'm trying to create a simple movie showing the rotation around a dihedral angle. I'm sure it's an extremely easy task, but I can't figure out the way of loading each state (i.e. conformation of the dihedral angle) into the movie object. I mean, the 'load' command (as in "load foo1.pdb,mo

I agree with the Logitech sentiment. I have a MX 700 for my iMac, and installing the software was a bad idea when I had Panther. I haven't tried installing it on Tiger, but all the buttons (8 of them) are assignable in the System preferences menu. In addition, it's cordless, and the batt

Hello Warren, Thanks for the response. That is exactly what I have done--taken structures produced with builder and brought them into GROMACS and have obtained minimized structures, but as Jim Nettles mentioned, such techniques can depend on what the initial structure is, so I was just won

James, PyMOL's peptide & small molecular builder is no more rigorous that a handheld plastic model. Unfortunately, DeLano Scientific doesn't have the developer "bandwidth" right now to get into the simulations business. Instead, we hope to facilitate and encourage integration with existing exter

I have one of each of the Logitech MX 500, 510, 518 series and they all have worked (and are still working) fine for me, albeit on windows and linux. I don't have any experience with the cordless version, but after a little google searching it looks like the logitech software is buggy on macs. Yo

Hello James, There is really a lot of room for discussion regarding your questions. Considering peptide conformations is complicated business and there is generally not "a" structure. There is great conformational flexibility even for small, constrained, cyclic peptides. As for the MD - yes,

[PyMOL] Builder Question

2005-08-15 Thread James R. Graham
Hello All, How "physiological" are the structures that are produced from builder? Meaning, how are the angles, etc. determined? Might such a resulting structure mimic a chemically-synthesized peptide? I have taken peptides I created using builder and done some MD simulations and the struc

Lari, the way you've described is a nice workaround for images and presentations, which I had in mind, too. But it is not applicable while I am working with PyMOL online and want to make my CGO's transparent to see what is in them (including ability to rotate and zomm in/out the scene (which is n
