Re: [PyMOL] Secondary structure labeling

Hi Bishwa, what you want is to label one representative atom per secondary structure element. So figure out chain and residue number of those atoms, and label each of them individually: PyMOL> label A/42/CA, "beta1" PyMOL> label A/117/CA, "alpha1" PyMOL> label A/147/CA, "alpha2" For changing lab

Hi Rhitankar, this depends which python you used and which arguments you passed to setup.py. I assume you used system python and no arguments, then just remove these: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pymol /usr/local/bin/pymol Cheers, Thomas Rhitankar Pal wrote, On 05/08/13 18:46: > Dear Tho

Dear Rhitankar, I should point out that Schrödinger also sells pre-compiled PyMOL with easy to use installers. http://pymol.org/academic.html Open-Source PyMOL was always targeted to power-users who are familiar with compiling software themselves. Regarding your question: It will most likely not

Dear Thomas, Even after I installed the Pmw1.3 which should be compatible with python2.7 and reinstalling the pymol, I am still the following error message. File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 450, in launch_gui __import__(self.invocation.options.gui) File "/L

Hi Bishwa, can you be more precise what you mean by "label"? If the secondary structure is defined in the header of your PDB file, PyMOL can show cartoon representation, show text labels on C-alpha atoms and color by secondary structure. PyMOL> as cartoon PyMOL> label name CA, ss PyMOL> color red

Hi All, I am using Pymol to make figures for my publication. I am not sure if there has been a discussion earlier but I would like to know how we can label the secondary structures (helices and strands) using Pymol. I have them defined in my header file using DSSP. Thank you in advance. Bish
