RE: [PyMOL] complete surface of selection

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Frank suggested a good approach.  You can also do the job within one =
object:

show surface, (resi 110,128,134,135,120,131,118,138,121,129,132,136)
flag ignore,(not (resi 110,128,134,135,120,131,118,138,121,129,132,136))
rebuild

RE: [PyMOL] pymol and povray

[Schubert, C. <Car...@3d...>]

Don't know about MACs but this works on PCs and SGIs:
-------------------------------------------------
Exporting Povray scripts from PyMol
 

The choice of the renderer is defined by the variable
"ray_default_renderer". A value of 0 points to the internal renderer, a
value of 1 creates a povray file called "tmp_pymol.pov" in the current
directory.

To change the setting use:

	cmd.set('ray_default_renderer',1)

Alternatively use this script:

	util.ray_shadows('heavy')
	(header,data) = cmd.get_povray()
	file=open('povray.pov','w')
	file.write(header)
	file.write(data)
	file.close()


Thanks for the original contributors.

RE: [PyMOL] Calpha-Calpha distance

PyMOL is currently just a little too smart in this area -- it checks to =

In the meantime, you might want to look into the CGO capability, which =

[PyMOL] Calpha-Calpha distance

[Daniel J. R. <da...@ce...>]

Hi all

I have a PDB file which uses a series of pseudo-Calpha positions to draw
an arrow.  The positions are 3.0A apart.  This is OK for them to be joined
in a Calpha trace made in, for example, O and RASMOL, but PYMOL must have
a more stringent cutoff.  I've had a look but I can't see how to change
this, or even if that's possible.

Thanks for your help.

You might try this. Select a central atom of your ligand (ALT + left mouse button). Pymol will name this selection (lb).

select bindingsite = (lb around 5) and not HETATM)   # PDB-style, this will select all not HETATM atoms around your selected atom
			or 
select bindingsite = (lb around 5) and not ligand)   # if your small molecule is named ligand

show surface, bindingsite

RE: [PyMOL] CMYK colors

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Thanks for the suggestion?

For now, why not just redefine the existing colors?=20

No need for a leading underscore...

set_color green=3D [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22]

etc.

Note that there are default atom colors such as "carbon", "nitrogen", =
"oxygen", "hydrogen", "sulfur", etc. which should also be redefined.

set_color carbon=3D [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22]

etc,=20

[PyMOL] Pymol 0.82-Error

[Marc S. <mar...@mp...>]

Hi there,

Today I stumbled over a bug in Pymol:

If I load a certain molecule (can be provided if needed) into Pymol 0.82 
together with rubor.py from Christian Rothers rTools, and do some 
operations on it (detailed log can also be provided) after setting the 
display-quality to "Maximum Performance" and back to "Maximum Quality, 
Pymol crashes with the following error-message:

"""
PyMOL>rebuild
NULL-POINTER-ERROR: in RepSphere.c line 379
  PyMOL: abrupt program termination.
"""

This could be reproduced, so it might be worth looking at it.

[PyMOL] CMYK colors

[Gil P. <pr...@uh...>]

This is not directly PyMOL specific, but it addresses a problem I think=20
a lot of us have encountered in preparing hardcopy outputs.

Some RGB triplets do have equivalents in CMYK space, and as a result, a=20
figure that looks great on a screen can come out with unpredictable=20
colors when printed.

Most applications do a good job with RGB-to-CMYK conversions for photos,=20
but do not do such a good job with graphics that use pure primary=20
colors.  For example, reds are generally OK, but pure blues and greens=20
do not translate very well.

Here are some RGB values that are within the CMYK gamut  (i.e. are=20
"CMYK-safe"):


##
#optimized rgb values for cmyk output:
set_color _dblue=3D [0.05 , 0.19 , 0.57]
set_color _blue=3D  [0.02 , 0.50 , 0.72]
set_color _mblue=3D [0.5  , 0.7  , 0.9 ]
set_color _lblue=3D [0.86 , 1.00 , 1.00]

set_color _green=3D [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22]
set_color _lgreen=3D[0.50 , 0.78 , 0.50]

set_color _yellow=3D[0.95 , 0.78 , 0.00]

set_color _orange=3D[1.00 , 0.40 , 0.0 ]

# these are trivial
set_color _red=3D   [1.00 , 0.00 , 0.00]
set_color _mred=3D  [1.00 , 0.40 , 0.40]
set_color _lred=3D  [1.00 , 0.80 , 0.80]
set_color _vlred=3D [1.00 , 0.90 , 0.90]
set_color _white=3D [1.00 , 1.00 , 1.00]
set_color _vlgray=3D[0.95 , 0.95 , 0.95]
set_color _lgray=3D [0.90 , 0.90 , 0.90]
set_color _gray=3D  [0.70 , 0.70 , 0.70]
set_color _dgray=3D [0.50 , 0.50 , 0.50]
set_color _vdgray=3D[0.30 , 0.30 , 0.30]
set_color _black=3D [0.00 , 0.00 , 0.00]
##


There may be a more elegant way to do this (specific to the OS and=20
post-PyMOL application), but this is a simple solution.


Wishlist:
It would be useful to specify a "CMYK mode" in PyMOL, so that the color=20
palate uses RGB colors that have good CMYK equivalents.  This would=20
simplify color selection when preparing hardcopy figures.

Re: [PyMOL] multi-step movie

[Kristian R. <kri...@be...>]

Hello Gabriel,

Your Questions:

> 1. How can you make a molecule rotate 10 times only,

go to http://www.rubor.de/bioinf and download the movieScript module
and issue the following commands:

mvClear
mvRot 1-500,x,3600
mvCmd 501,mstop
movie

Explanation:
This tells movieScript to rotate the molecule in frames 1 to 500 around 
3600 degrees, then calls the mstop command in frame 501.


> 2. Is there any script command, that put the script on
> "hold" until you press the mouse or the keyboard

I think this should be done using the raw_input("press any key")
function from a python script.


> 3. Is there any possibility to do zoom-in , for
> example, into the active site.

of course, there is (e.G. 'actsite' is your active site subselection):

hide all         # molecule gets invisible
orient actsite   # now the active site fills out all the screen
move z,-200      # zoom out
move x,50        # move a little to the side

# Now your molecule is ready to come to the scene:
show cartoon    # make the molecule visible
mvClear
mvSinmove 1-100,x,-50
mvSinmove 1-100,z,200
mvCmd 101,mstop
movie

best wishes,

[PyMOL] Measuring an angle between two planes

[Julien C. <juj...@fr...>]

Hi there,

I made two selections of atoms of one single molecule and I  would like=20=

to get the angle between the average planes of each selection.
How can I do that ?

Thanks for the help

RE: [PyMOL] What's in a selection

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Atom selections aren't directly exposed to Python, but you can have =
PyMOL build a Python list containing whatever information you need:

Using PyMOL commands:

list=3D[]
iterate (name ca),list.append((resi,resn))
print list

[('ASP', '1'), ('CYS', '2'), ('ALA', '3'), ('TRP', '4'), ('HIS', '5'), =
('LEU',
 '6'), ('GLY', '7'), ('GLU', '8'), ('LEU', '9'), ('VAL', '10'), ('TRP', =
'11'),=20
('CYS', '12'), ('THR', '13')]

or using a Python script (in PyMOL):

from pymol import cmd,stored
stored.list=3D[]
cmd.iterate("(name ca)","stored.list.append((resi,resn))")
print stored.list

[('1', 'ASP'), ('2', 'CYS'), ('3', 'ALA'), ('4', 'TRP'), ('5', 'HIS'), =
('6', '
LEU'), ('7', 'GLY'), ('8', 'GLU'), ('9', 'LEU'), ('10', 'VAL'), ('11', =
'TRP'),=20
('12', 'CYS'), ('13', 'THR')]

[PyMOL] What's in a selection

[<ml...@um...>]

Hi,

How can I tell which atoms are in a selection?  For example, I've opened up a
pdb file and selected all non-backbone atoms within five angstroms of the active
site.  Now I want to get a list of the atoms in that selection.  My selection
was called "nearby" and I tried "print nearby" but got a NameError.

Sorry if the answer's obvious and I've just missed it.

thanks,

[PyMOL] multi-step movie

[gabriel r. <gab...@ya...>]

Hi.
Few questions about movies :
1. How can you make a molecule rotate 10 times only,
using script commands ? right now the only way is to
press the stop-butoon at the lower-left pannel, but i
want the script to stop it after 10 rounds.
2. Is there any script command, that put the script on
"hold" until you press the mouse or the keyboard
button ? This is useful for multi-step movie.
3. Is there any possibility to do zoom-in , for
example, into the active site.
Thanks
Gabi.

[PyMOL] RE: MacOSX and Three button mice.

[Andy C. <afc...@li...>]

Ok. Thanks all. Cracked it.

The Macally driver was indeed the culprit. I had installed it way back in
OSX 10.1 or maybe before that even when the standard Apple driver did
nothing for my scroll wheel etc. I had just kept updating it thinking it was
needed. Just run the uninstaller (which you can get by downloading from
http://www.macally.com/techsupport/drivers.html ) in case, like me, you had
ditched it. A system reboot is needed.

In 10.2.1 at least all Macally mouse functions are supported by the Apple
driver and proper 3 button control is present in PyMOL. :-)

Uninstall seems to be the only option as the Macally utility for customising
what the buttons do on an application by application basis does not include
an option of excluding an application such as PyMOL. Correct me if I missed
something though. :-(

RE: [PyMOL] MacOSX and Three button mice.

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Great -- another high traffic day on the PyMOL list!   I do hope =
everyone is aware that you can get the PyMOL list batched into a =
*single* daily message.  That way you can still keep up with PyMOL =
informati without being flooded.  Here's how

Surf to http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users , enter =
your email address, and click select "Edit Options", then set digest =
mode to "on", enter password and submit.

Onto the topic at hand:  MacOSX 3 button mice.

Based on Evan's success (below), it sounds to me like the problem has to =
do with third-party mouse driver software suppressing the normal =
middle-button mouse event.  OSX barely supports the middle button, so it =
isn't surprising that third parties don't even bother.

Deactivation of mouse software is complicated by the fact that with =
PyMOL, the Mac OSX icon you launch is not the one which ends up being =
active (the reasons for this are important but technical...). =20

Thus, my advice would be (1) avoid programmable mouse driver software =
althougher (just don't install it), or failing that (2) try deactivating =
the software for all of the PyMOL application icons in the PyMOL folder =
(as well as in the "Darwin" sub-folder).

Warren

Warren,

Great suggestion to try vanilla. I was programming the mouse from within =
System Preferences, choosing the Microsoft IntelliPoint application =
under "Other". Doing the same, but checking "Disable IntelliPoint =
features..." specifically for application "PyMOL", enabled all L,M,R =
mouse functions as expected under PyMOL. This setting allows the mouse =
to use the OS10 mouse software instead of IntelliPoint.=20

The key points seem to be:

1. Choose the correct PyMOL application icon to define the application =
within the IntelliPoint application.

2. Disable Intellipoint features for PyMOL.=20

Alternatively, I suppose one could simply not install the extra mouse =
software.

I have real 3 button functioning when I use the "native" version of 
PyMOL for OSX. Additionally, when I use the X-window version of PyMOL I 
have the "middle" button set as cmd-click, which is the equivalent of a 
middle-click. I am using a Kensington 5-button optical mouse. You can 
program this mouse so that the buttons mean different things for 
different programs, which is quite useful.
