Re: [PyMOL] Drawing lines between residues

[Robert C. <rob...@qu...>]

Hi Jorge,

I have written a script that will draw lines between arbitrary pairs of atoms using CGO cylinders.  The script is called "draw_links.py" and can be found on my script page:

http://pldserver1.biochem.queensu.ca/~rlc/work/pymol/

Besides listing the pairs of atoms to connect you can control the colour and radius of the CGO cylinders with a command like:

draw_links mol1 & chain A & name CA & resi 1+6+7+8, mol1 & chain A & name CA & resi 10+16+17+18 

and that would connect the alpha carbons of residue 1 with 10, 6 with 16, 7 with 17 and 8 with 18.


Cheers,
Rob
