Re: [PyMOL] Slerpy & Command:translate

[Joel B. <JB...@wy...>]

Hi Xavier-
=20
To show ligands coming into a protein binding site I generally use some =
sort of morphing approach rather than translating the ligand.  The reason =
is that slerpy, even if it could cope with translate, would not interpolate=
 the ligand position from one view to the next so you'll end up with =
sudden jerky movements of the ligand. =20
=20
On the other hand, if you generate a multistate model using morphing =
(either lsqman, rigimol, or http://www.molmovdb.org/molmovdb/morph/) then =
you can use smorph in slerpy to incorporate the morph into your movie.  =
See also http://ginsberg.med.virginia.edu/~dcoop/Help/morph.html for hints =
on setting up a morph.
=20
I've been working on a slerpy demo page that includes some morphing but =
it's not done yet.

I've never tried using the translate command in a slerpy action.  I'll =
have a look at that tonight.

Thanks,

Hello all ! I am trying to use Slerpy to make a movie and I get some =
trouble. I would like to show a ligand coming and binding to my protein*  =
So, following the Slerpy instructions, I stored all my orientations then I =
tried to apply actions to the different views. But when I typed this =
command:            sgo 2            saction =93translate [0,20,0], =
ligand=94 I got the following error: =93Error: too many arguments for =
add_action_current; 1 expected, 2 found.Usage: add_action_current cmd=94 I =
have an object named =93ligand=94 in Pymol and the command =93translate =
[0,20,0], ligand=94 works pretty well in Pymol (without using Slerpy)*Does =
anyone know how to solve the problem? Thanks! Xavier. Xavier HANOULLE, =
