Notice on March 17, 2023. We are no longer developing or supporting ProMOL. If you 
have interest in carrying this project forward, please feel free to do so.
A note to paul.craig@rit.edu would be appreciated.

Outstanding issues:

1. The ProMOL plug-in was developed to work with PyMOL. Newer versions of PyMOL
use Python 3, rather than Python 2, so ProMOL needs to be converted from 
Python 2 to Python 3.
2. There are many print statements that will need to be corrected. That is 
probably the most tedious part of the necessary revision.
3. Other plug-ins are connected to ProMOL, including the AutoDock plugin.
It may be possible to repair this plugin separately to test the revision process.

ProMOL is a product of the Structural Biology Extensible Visualization
Language (SBEVSL) project, supported in part by Award Number
R15GM078077 from the National Institute Of General Medical Sciences. 
The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not
necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute Of 
General Medical Sciences or the National Institutes of Health.

The purpose of ProMOL is to assist in the visualization of protein structures
in PyMOL, as well as assist in the identification of small catalytic sites, and
the creation of catalytic site motifs.

=========================================================================

ProMOL Installation Instructions

ProMOL is a plugin for PyMOL.  PyMOL is available as an open source program
from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/

and is incorporated into many Unix releases.  PyMOL is also available in
proprietary versions from

http://www.pymol.org.  See that website for information on PyMOL licensing.

PyMOL is a program that was written by the late Warren DeLano.  PyMOL is a
trademark of Schrodinger, LLC.  ProMOL is a plugin for PyMOL, not a
derivative part of PyMOL, but depends on having a copy of PyMOL in order to
operate.

Therefore, in order to use ProMOL, you first must have a copy of PyMOL
installed.

Download PyMOL from http://pymol.sourceforge.net and install to default
location.

ProMOL can be downloaded in a compressed file format from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbevsl/files

You can choose to download either a .tar.gz compressed file
(ProMOL-5.1-r247.tar.gz) or a zip compressed file
(ProMOL-5.1-r247.zip). The way you expand the 
file depends on your operating system.

On Unix or Linux systems, or using MINGW under Windows you may unpack the
tarball with

gunzip < ProMOL-5.3-r362.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Windows and Macintosh systems may have a native application that will expand
your .tar.gz or .zip files; if not you may wish to consider using Stuffit
Expander or WinZip.

If you have not already done so, first install PyMOL. Under Mac OS X 
you may need to rename the MacPymol application to MacPymolX11Hybrid, in
order to get access to plugins.  You will also need to have the X window
system installed.  This is included on your Mac OS install disc, but may
not be installed by default.

To install ProMOL, copy ProMol.py and the folder ProMol into the correct
place in the directory tree used by PyMOL for plugins.  For example, for
PyMOL 1.7.1 under Microsoft Windows:

C:\Program Files\PyMol\modules\pmg_tk\startup\

On other systems you will need to find the portion of the PyMOL installation
tree that contains

pmg_tk/startup

and place ProMol.py and the folder ProMol in the startup folder.
For example in a fink PyMOL installation for python 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 under
Mac OS X, the ProMol.py file and ProMol folder belongs under

/sw/lib/pymol-py24/modules/pmg_tk/startup or
/sw/lib/pymol-py25/modules/pmg_tk/startup or
/sw/lib/pymol-py26/modules/pmg_tk/startup

However, we believe that this version of ProMOL may use features of the Python
language that were introduced in 2.6, so it may not run with earlier versions.
Furthermore, has only been tested on Python 2.{5,6,7}.x, and will not work with Python 3.

For PyMOL installed from the Ubuntu Software Center (it may be the same
from source), ProMol.py and the ProMol folder can be placed under:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/pmg_tk/startup

When all files are in place, the ProMOL interface can be run by choosing
ProMOL from the PyMOL plug-in menu.

=========================================================================

WARNING: While running a search with the Motif Finder, PLEASE DO NOT
double-click in the results list of a previous search, or load, modify,
manipulate, or clear any structures or named selections present in PyMOL.
Doing so will likely lead to erroneous results!

Other important notes and tips:

- Motifs generated using the Motif Maker tab are stored the subfolder
UserMotifs in the ProMOL application data directory.  This folder is usually
located in the following places:

Windows: %AppData%/SBEVSL/ProMol/
(On Windows 7, %AppData% may be located at C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming)
Mac OS X/Darwin: ~/Library/Application Support/SBEVSL/ProMol
Other platforms, including Ubuntu: ~/.sbevsl/ProMol

- Do not install motifs obtained from any source except SBEVSL or your Motif Maker
tab inside either ProMOL's Motifs folder or your UserMotifs folder.  You have been
warned!

- Motif finder searches tend to run significantly faster if, once the search is
started, the user selects the PyMOL Viewer window and presses Escape to switch
into text mode.  To switch back, simply press Escape again.

- Exporting CSV files via the user interface button for a search with no results
will cause ProMOL to hang.  As a workaround, check the CSV file generated for each
search located in your application data directory (see above).

Homology Exploration with ProMOL
C. Wischmeyer, P. Craig, H. Bernstein
The ProMOL plugin for PyMOL is an intuitive user interface that gives users
access to many of the complex tools that exist within PyMOL, without requiring
that the user learn to program in Python. Among its many tools, ProMOL features
a motif­matching interface that can compare enzyme active sites based on the
relative positions of the catalytic residues. Tools found in ProMOL can be used
to compare any structure with more than 30 known calalytic active site motifs,
which were drawn from the Catalytic Site Atlas
(http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton­srv/databases/CSA/). The motif analysis tool can
be fine tuned to narrow or expand the three dimensional search space for active
site alignment. Alignment results for enzyme classes across different taxonomic
categories will be presented and compared, along with suggestions for
implementing more effective alignment strategies with the motif tool in ProMOL.

=========================================================================
[Update by current developers: there are now several sets of motifs that
may be individually selected as of 24 July 2014:  The P-set of hand
generated motifs, the A-set of automatically generated motifs,
the M-set of motifs with metal ions and amino acids, and the R-set
of other metal ion motifs.] 
=========================================================================

The previous developers of ProMOL had incorporated a modified version of the
PDB Loader Service plugin into promolglobals.py.  We have removed that code
from ProMOL in favor of launching the existing copy on the user's machine
that is distributed with PyMol, and using PyMOL's built-in functionality.
The following notice was included with older versions of ProMOL, and may no
longer be required, but we have included it for the sake of completeness.
We believe it no longer applies to anything in ProMOL.

Revision 167
Modified Monday, February 20, 2012 by Cyprian Corwin

Changed Random PDB selection to only download the master list once per 
program start, like it did before 4.2.  In 4.2, due to the removal of the 
persistent database class, the download began occcuring each time the 
button is clicked (my fault).  This revision introduces a trivial 
change that eliminates many of these unneccessary data downloads; 
more importantly, the code present in 4.2 appears to max out the number 
of connections to the server as well, which should be fixed here too.

the name of something but missed changing it in 2 other spots; improved 
motif maker file closing code.

Revision 158
Modified Thursday, December 8, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

ProMOL 4.2.11.  Updated funding info, restored on demand full CSV 
export, changed mode of all file operations from binary to text, 
removed help button, and replaced tabs with spaces in splitRespectingQuotes().

Revision 157
Modified Friday, December 2, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

ProMOL 4.2.10.  The list of changes is extensive, and will be described 
in detail in a document soon to be sent out to the SBEVSL mailing list.

Revision 156
Modified Saturday, August 27, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

Version 4.2.9.  Commented out Optimize button on Motif Maker, since 
the algorithm it uses has a problem and Greg Dodge said it was not needed.

Revision 155
Modified Saturday, August 27, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

Version 4.2.8.  Created subfolder in OFFSITE user data folder just 
for automatically created CSVs.  Reworked CSV export user interface.  
Implemented opening of new CSV folder on demand.  Also replaced a 
tab with spaces.


Revision 154 
Modified Wednesday, August 10, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

4.2.7: Restored order recommendation button in motif maker (now 
labeled Optimize), however it currently deletes multiple rows 
containing the same amino acid even at different locations/chains.  
Removed duplicate copy of GPL.  Moved version string into its own 
file.

Revision 153
Modified Tuesday, Aug 09 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

ProMOL 4.2.6 - added basic support for row reordering in Motif Maker.

Revision 152
Modified Friday, Aug 05, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin

These are the changes for 4.2.5, which is a development version.  
Most of the files that make up ProMOL were modified, and the 
change list is rather extensive, so PLEASE read the updated 
change log near the bottom of the readme file.  (The file promol-
changes has not been updated since 4.2.0.)  This version should be 
considered an experimental work in progress, and at least one feature 
has been temporarily disabled.  It still needs to be thoroughly tested.  
Also, please note that in at least one file, the standard diff utility, 
and tools that depend on it, does not properly match up the changes, 
so it appears to be more different than it is.

Update to Release 4.2

Revision 149
Modified Monday, July 25, 2011 by Cyprian Corwin and Greg Dodge
Version 4.2.  Many bug fixes, a few enhancements, and code cleanup
based on Maddy's Revision 142.  Major changes from 142 include a new,
larger set of 440 motifs, removal of PERSISTENT database code,
changes to the way PDB structures are fetched and the way
the PDB Loader Service dialog is launched from within ProMOL, simplification of
the way in which aligned matches are rendered and named (when double-clicking
a result in Motif Finder), a fix for the issue preventing the creation of
motifs for active sites containing alanine, and a fix for the hang that
would formerly happen when a motif search returned zero results, among others.
For the full list, please see the file promol-changes.txt.

Revision 119
Modified Tue Dec 7 by vinnyrose
Version 4.1rc2. Minor backwards compatibility fix. Updated readme.

Revision 115
Modified Thu Aug 5 by vinnyrose 
Version 4.1rc1. Added and alignment option in the motif finder. [Turn alignment
on and double click on a motif in the result box to see the alignment of the
template pdb to the test pdb. The color of each may be specified by clicking on
the color boxes adjacent to "template color" and "motif color". These boxes are
only clickable if alignment is clicked on. The alignment box does not have to be
clicked on prior to starting a test, but it does need to be clicked on prior to
double clicking a result if you want the alignment to appear. You cannot align a
PDB with itself.] Many sorts have been changed to be faster and to have
backwards and forwards compatibility. All motifs have been changed to include a
LOCI attribute which includes information on where the residues were located in
the original template pdb. The motif maker has been updated to include the LOCI
attribute. The color functions have been changed to make the custom colors more
optimized and to avoid conflicting colors. global.show_as function added to
compensate for cmd.as being changed to cmd.show_as due to reservation of 'as' in
python 2.6. More reliable and faster finding of chains in global.update
function.

System dependent bug fix.

Revision 105 
Modified Tue Jul 13 by vinnyrose 

ProMol
Changed persistent storage. Changed gui dictionary to a class object. Several 
small bug fixes. Promol will now advise the user to install the 'ProMol' folder
if it was not installed in the startup folder. Bug in random pdb fixed, now it 
actually is random. Version 4.0rc4.
ConSCRIPT
Some small fixes. 2.0rc4.1

Revision 98

Raise rc number to 3.2 -- HJB

Revision 94 
Modified Tue Jun 29 by vinnyrose 

ConSCRIPT select function fixed. Many changes made to the structure of the code 
including making the class truly classified. Before all the functions were in 
the init of the class. The handle command now looks at token equality instead 
of command substrings. Parsing colors has been modified to a smaller code base.
Promol: some small bug fixes in the motif maker that occur when unwanted spaces
occur in the input fields, a fixed motif was added. A better way of updating
motif files is needed when this is all distributed. Version changed to 3.6.2.
Version 4.0 candidate 3.2

Revision 93 
Modified Fri Jun 25 by vinnyrose 

Some small bug fixes. Version changed to 3.6.1. Version 4.0 candidate 3.1.

Revision 92 
Modified Tue Jun 22 by vinnyrose 

Some small bug fixes. Updated the motif finder to support batch processing.
Motif maker has the capablity to change the order of the motifs being made.
Several organizational changes such as folder names and locations.
ChimeConverter is now active, and accessible with the 'c' command prefix.
Pmw has been replace by tkinter functions in many places.
Version changed to 3.06. Version 4.0 candidate 3.

Added all the motifs made so far. Created error reporting on motif loading.
Changed welcome screen. All pdb's entered into motif maker will be lowercased.
4.0 release candidate 2. (3.05)

Revision 87 
Modified Thu Jun 10 by vinnyrose 

Several changes. The motif maker has some bug fixes, as well as the ability to
check against homologs and random pdb's. The motif finder uses a levenshtein
distance calculation and reports the minimum and maximum (min/max) edit
distance found, if the min and max are the same it reports one distance.
It searches into each chain individually and the whole structure. In addition
it searches through every permutation of residues in cases where that is
applicable. Version changed to 3.04. Version 4.0 candidate.

Revision 86

Revision 59 
Modified Mon Dec 14 by vinnyrose 

This revision is absolutely positively unstable, DO NOT USE IT!

Removed unnecessary files and folders.

Removed ProMOL_302. If you want the latest stable go to revision 57.

Changed amino acid pictures names so that they are not confusing.

Changes to ProMol.py include:
	separating the code into multiple files
	Optimizing the code
	standardizing the formatting
This is the first commit in several to come that will dramatically change the
code. The functionality in most cases will not be changed.

Much of the indentation is not correct due an attempt to standardize.
Indentations will be fixed in a future revision.
