[PyMOL] clear "glassy" surface and ribbon shown together

2006-11-02 Thread Eva Vanamee
I am trying to show the surface and ribbon representations together. I want to give a nice glassy look of the surface but it does not work too well. Does anyone have ideas on how to achieve that? I know I can do it in PovRay but I'd love to achieve that effect in PyMol with no extra program. Thank

Hi Simon - I think I know what the problem is. Is your ligand composed of 'HETATM's? Pymol doesn't include HETATM records in calculating surfaces - this is because most PDB files have waters etc. in them, and Warren wanted the user to be able to load the PDB file and create a surface (for the pr

No. When I read in the pdb, containing the ligand and the protein and simply calculate the surface, I get a surface for the protein, but not the ligand. Simon On Nov 2, 2006, at 3:53 PM, Nicholas Noinaj wrote: can you get a surface for the protein-ligand complex? cheers, nick

In addition to the comments below, i don't think simply selecting the ligand will do, you have to create it as a new object as noted below (not at Pymol WS now or I would verify). Once you select the ligand, go to Actions button and choose [create new object]. a new object will be created, pro

Hi Folks, I'm trying to generate a surface for a ligand which is part of a ligand-protein complex. I realise this is the other way around to normal, but somehow when I select the ligand in pymol and then 'show surface, ligand', absolutely nothing happens. No error, but no surface. The

Hi Martin. Ive also experimented with primitive shapes and cones. Its not possible to get a rounded surface on the cone, as you cannot properly define the normals of the surface without the quad based openGL primitives, which is not supported by the inbuild raytracer. If you look in the Pymo

Hi James, Maybe you can try another route. The ray_trace_mode, 3 gives very eye-catching pictures. Make one image intended only to grab attention and place it large in the centre of your poster. Make another image you can use to fill your background (chose the x/y-ratio of your poster for ray-tra
