pymol-users Mailing List for PyMOL Molecular Graphics System

Greetings,
This is just a quick note to let you know that as of revision 3997
PyMOL has an improved plugin/script manager. This system was written
by Thomas Holder as part of his PyMOL Open Source Fellowship. Some new
features include:
 * install script/plugin from the PyMOLWiki directly
 * install from a URL
 * install from a custom path on your file system
 * setup and install into multiple repositories
 * scripts/plugins requiring a citation will bring up a dialog telling
you so (authors, please see the docs for information on how to require
a citation)
 * ...and more.
Please feel free to test the code and get used to the new manager. If
you like it, please send Thomas a note of thanks.
We will be starting another round of the PyMOL Open Source Fellowship
soon. If you're interested keep an eye out for the call for
applications.
Cheers,
-- Jason

Dear Pymol users
We are trying to generate a number of mutated structures using the 
mutagenesis wizard. However, after mutating a position and saving to a 
new PDB file, the mutated residue ends up being "mixed" into the 
coordinate lines of the first residue. Some two coordinate lines are 
separated by TER statements. At the position, where the residue should 
sit, there is a TER statement, and the residue is skipped (e.g Res ID 
139, TER, Res ID 141).
We also observe this using
set retain_order
set pdb_retain_ids
Is there a fix for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi James and Joel,
I would use a homology modeling tool to add missing atoms (basically 
rebuild the structure, given the incomplete structure as template).
Examples for web servers:
 * http://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/modeller
 * http://swissmodel.expasy.org/
pdb2pqr can also add a limited number of missing atoms, see 
http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/d/web-servers
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Another question-
I have my protein.pdb with some inserted crystall waters within protein interiour as well as water surrounded of my protein. I want to remove only sorrounding water but prevent internal water ( wich could be functional relevant ).
How I could to select such surrounded water ( e.g via some cutoff radius relative my protein etc) wich I'd like to remove further ?

Hi Martin & James,
is it just a coincident that you both ask almost the same question?
You could remove all water atoms with few protein contacts or with a 
small surface area. For example:
remove solvent beyond 3.5 of polymer
set dot_solvent
get_area solvent, load_b=1
remove solvent and b > 20
Hope that helps.

 Thomas

Dear List
In a crystal structure, there are usually a number of relevant crystal 
waters, as well as water molecules on the surface. In our approach, we 
model the protein structure within a dielectric continuum, so surface 
water molecules are not required (to save computer time). However, 
waters in the interior should remain in our model. How could we discard 
the surface waters while keeping the internal waters?
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Mary,
I suggest to use a real modeling tool like MODELLER for this task.
Some modeling is possible with the sculpting feature, but you should 
keep in mind that it only tries to restore the starting conformation and 
to avoid clashes. There is no "real" molecular forcefield.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi Bishwa,
PyMOL lacks the feature to save secondary structure to PDB files. But 
you could install "psico" which is a add-on to PyMOL. It adds a 
"save_pdb" command (or overloads the save command if you like) which 
does write PDB files including secondary structure header.
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Psico
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi,
I altered the secondary structure of the protein using alter command. I have the PDB file with the correct secondary structure and their appropriate length. But how can I save this information into my PDB coordinate file such that when I reopen the file I do not have to repeat the command again?
Thank you in advance

Dear Jason,
Thanks for the tip about anaglyph_mode settings. I am using PyMOL version 
1.5.0.3. However, I usually work with carbon atoms painted either black or 
dark gray (over a light blue background). The optimized anaglyph setting 
makes it hard to differentiate red oxygens from black carbons. I guess 
that I will need some time to decide what combination of colors and 
anaglyph_mode setting suits me better.

Hi Rolf,
The new code should fix this problem. Alternatively, put this in your
~/.pymolrc and see if it helps:
set use_shaders, 0

Hi Luis,
We've had "optimized anaglyph" in PyMOL for a little while now. The
default mode is to attenuate intensities in the left and right eyes to
reduce strain and improve the 3D experience. If you have a recent
build (eg. after v1.5.0) try anaglyph. Versions before that don't have
the optimized colors. The new version also has a few different modes
(see the alaglyph_mode setting).
Cheers,

Hi,
Red-cyan and red-blue anaglyphs are affected by the chromatic aberration 
of our eyes. If I use PyMOL's anaglyph stereo and close one of my eyes, 
the red image is blurrier than the other one. Also, most of the red color 
is lost.
Nowadays there are better color combinations for anaglyphs: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_3D . Suitable glasses are also 
available from Amazon and other companies.
Is there an option to change the colors used by PyMOL's anaglyp stereo? If 
not, maybe we could have a magenta-cyan anaglyph option in the future?
Thanks for a great program and best regards

Hi Julien,
how did you prepare the 2-state object?
If you like you can try to install "psico", it provides a quite robust 
"morpheasy" command.

Hi
This is not a pymol problem per se, but I'm trying to figure out
whether the error below is hardware-related (video card) or
software-related (i.e., video driver/mesa/opengl libraries, etc.). If
I run pymol from the command line (loading one of the demo files,
pept.r3d), the pymol graphics and interface windows appear briefly and
then close almost immediately. At the command line, the result is:
 $ pymol /usr/share/pymol/test/dat/pept.r3d
 Detected OpenGL version 2.0 or greater. Shaders available.
 Detected GLSL version 1.20.
 Executive: object "pept" created.
 python2.7: nv50_pc.h:351: nv_alloc_instruction: Assertion
`pc->num_instructions < 2048' failed.
 /usr/bin/pymol: line 2: 5112 Aborted python2.7 -O
${PYMOL_PATH}/__init__.py -q $*
Also, pymol seems to function OK if I do not try to load a file, i.e.,
the UI opens correctly and I can close it gracefully. If I try to load
the demo file from the interface, it crashes with the above error.
Starting pymol with -h yields the following:

If I ssh (with X-forwarding) to a remote machine with the identical
pymol setup, the display works fine. I've searched for the above
nv_alloc_instruction error, and it crops up on bugs related to the
nouveau video driver
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46597). However, both
the local and remote machine both use this same driver, and all
supporting libraries as well. I've rebuilt the driver on the local
machine and all its dependencies, mesa, opengl, etc., with no change
in the above result. I've been pulling my hair out over this, and
thought I'd ask here if anyone had any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Thomas,
Thanks--we'll add the fix ASAP.

Hi,
I'm trying to use rigimol for the first time.
After creating an object with the 2 states, I run these commands
from epymol import rigimol
rigimol.morph("morph_in","morph_out",refinement=5,async=1)
It runs for a few seconds, and then, error:
Write-Interpolation> end
Morph-Error: no rigimol output received!
Saved 'rigimol.inp' for troubleshooting...
I have not attached rigimol.inp. It is too big (600Kb) for this mailing
list and I didn't see anything informative.
This is my version of pymol:
 This Executable Build integrates and extends Open-Source PyMOL 1.5.0.4.
 Detected OpenGL version 2.0 or greater. Shaders available.
 Detected GLSL version 1.20.
 Detected 4 CPU cores. Enabled multithreaded rendering.
Thanks!
JLV
