Dear Warren, this little thread points nicely to the major problem that I have quite often with PyMol: it is a really powerful program, but the documentation is somewhere scattered between various incomplete sources (manual, reference list, wiki, bulletin board, user home pages, ...). This mak

[PyMOL] Surface atoms again

2006-04-04 Thread Piter_
Dear all. I need to select surface atoms. Friend of mine recommended me this way: For solvent accessible surface one can try Molmol: Load your molecule, say " SelectAtom '' " in command line, say "CalcSurface" - select the solvent radius (1.4A for water by default), put "by atom" radio button on

[PyMOL] manual update

2006-04-04 Thread Dr. Mark Mayer
Dear Warren, I would second Dirk's statement below. The manuals on web are a couple of years out of date now, and while the wiki and bulletin board are very useful sources of information, I too would prefer to have good up to date documentation, rather than more and more improvements with poo

Dear Warren, I could not agree more with Mark and Dirk. I recently received my "PyMOL Subscription Renewal" email from DeLano Scientific, and I must admit I will not renew my subscription, and for only one reason; the documentation is not up-to-date! Especially since (according to the Manual

PyMOL Users, I concur with both of the statements below -- lack of good documentation and training materials has become much more limiting of PyMOL's utility than lack of functionality. Furthermore, as illustrated by Stéphane's post, if DeLano Scientific LLC is to continue to thrive as a busin

[PyMOL] documentation vs features

2006-04-04 Thread Seth Harris
Just to pipe up for the other side, while I would by no means defend the lack of documentation as a good thing, given limited resources I actually prefer new features at the expense of documentation. I realize there is a large range of computer expertise in the pymol user community, and obviously t

[PyMOL] Ray-tracing inner surface backside

2006-04-04 Thread Paul Wilhelm Elsinghorst
Hi folks, what I did for now is that I selected a subset of residues that sit around a cavity. Then I showed the surface of the original protein inside the selection to get only the inside surface of the cavity. Now it looks sort of like a hose with inside and outside just as I wanted. Now I'd

Paul, I'm actually quite interested in an answer to this question as well. An example of what I have been able to do is this: http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/~immormino/neca_new.png I like using this type of rendering to look at a protein cavity from inside the protein. For me it has been hel
