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.
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, ss
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 label font,
