[PyMOL] symmetry operation to generate the whole virus particle

2013-02-28 Thread yp sun
Dear pymol users:   Usually pymol can show only one chain when you open a pdb file of virus particles (such as 2buk,1sva, etc.). I am trying to create the whole virus particle and I know it may need applying symmetry operations. And these symmetry operation has been given in the pdb files. For

Hi Yeping and Troels, symexp is unlikely to give you the REMARK 350 biomolecule, it is for generating neighboring symmetry mates of the crystallographic packing. The following scripts from the PyMOLWiki can read REMARK 350 and generate the biological unit: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Psico -

Hi Yeping - Try using: fetch 2buk, type=pdb1, multiplex=1, async=0 This will fetch the biological assembly (type=pdb1) from the pdb, split the 60 states into separate objects (multiplex=1), and tell PyMOL to wait for all this to be completed before moving to the next command in a .pml script
