Hi Mary - If you already know which state has the conformation you want to use for your measurement, or if you want to create a pseudoatom for each state, you can do so by passing the `state` keyword to pseudoatom: set state, 1 # or 2, 3, etc. pseudoatom test, pdbfile_0001 and chain A and

Hi Mary - There are a couple problems here. First, you’re giving the pseudoatom command a positional argument out-of-order (and after keyword parameters). Keyword parameters can appear in any order, but only if you use the keyword. Otherwise, you must list them in the order specified by the

Hi there, I want to measure the distance and angle between an aromatic ring (phenylalanin and a residue backbone) like this: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/File:Pseu1.png I learned from here that I need to make a pseudoatom but I cannot make it work. I tried pseudoatom test, resi=100,
