pymol-users Mailing List for PyMOL Molecular Graphics System

Thanks David. 
This worked flawlessly... I made one of my .pdb files a favorite in Dropbox app, set the iPad to airplane mode, so no wifi, back to Dropbox app, tapped the .pdb file, and selected open in pymol from the actions button. My molecule was right there with no network connection.
Seems like this is likely a generally useful trick for getting the iPad to act more like a computer with a traditional file system.
Thanks again,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I'll suggest a workaround to having pymol cache the files:
(1) Install the DropBox app
(2) Favorite your PDB files in that app, this will cache those files
locally within the DropBox app for offline access
(3) From the dropbox app, you can open PDB files in Pymol using the
button in the upper right corner, since the dropbox app has cached
them locally, PyMol just reads the file and doesn't need the internet

Hi Erik -
A more general question. It seems like there must be a better way to visualise a
polymer, say as a ball an stick image. Is there a more straight forward way of doing
this in pymol?
Not sure if you've found a solution to this already, but have a look at http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stick_ball, which may help with getting a ball-and-stick representation of your objects.
Cheers,
Jared

Welcome to the PyMOL community.

Yes, try here http://sourceforge.net/search/?group_id=4546&type_of_search=mlists.
You get there by mousing over "Mailing Lists" on the pymol-users
archive page (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=pymol-users).

Currently you need to be online to access your data. We'll fix this
for the next release.

Thanks, applying to the pdb I had seems to have worked but it didn't think much of the double bonds
and added extra's but presumably I can delete and rotate more easily than adding all them manually.

Hi Erik,
This is a known bug introduced in OS X 10.8 and some video cards. To
fix this just type,
 set cylinder_shader_ff_workaround, 1
and all should be well. PyMOL uses an official rendering optimization
but some systems have difficulty with it, hence our workaround.
This is automatically fixed in PyMOL v1.5.0.5 and later (and in the
recent open-source code).

Thanks, I didn't know it would be that simple and that looks like a good way to learn
python. Although I am curious now if I had a pdb that lacks hydrogens, like I did in this case,
what pymol facilities are there for adding them? Apparently you have some editing
capabilites and analyses, I thought there may be some way to guess approximately where
the hydrogens should go and then export the new file. This is probably obvious 
from a quick google search on basic capabilites but it also sounds as if there
may be less well known specialized tools for doing less common things like this.

I use pymol to generate images of simple polymers by loading their
coordinates as
.pdb files. The 'polymer .pdb' files contain only alpha carbon coordinates.
I connect
them using the ribbon_trace option, and color them by varying b-factors in
the .pdb
file.
I had created many different movies and figures this way, and I saved the
sessions
as .pse files. Just recently, I went back to view some of these sessions
and they just
loaded as blank screens.
I tried creating more images as before - using the ribbon_trace option to
connect the
atoms - but it no longer works.
I'm pretty sure I didn't change any options in pymol, so I'm wondering if
pymol
somehow updated itself, or some update of my mac airbook affected the pymol
program. Neither of these seems very likely.
What went wrong? Is there a way I can fix this?
A more general question. It seems like there must be a better way to
visualise a
polymer, say as a ball an stick image. Is there a more straight forward way
of doing
this in pymol?
Thanks, Erik

Hi Per 
If you're still having problems, you can try to install and run pymol under the X virtual frame buffer (xvfb).

Hi Per,
You'll probably want to use something like this:
# load the file
load http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/html/00150001_00175000/153919/153919.pdb,
myMolecule
# ray trace and save the image; you need to do this since you're running # PyMOL headlessly
png ~/foo.png, height=768, width=1024, ray=1
As far as missing output that's most likely because you're running remotely and the stdout/stderr are being piped elsewhere. This is common on clusters.
Cheers,

Hi Alex,
the gaps and the scrambled sequence view have the same reason, it's the
internal ordering of atoms which is not consecutive. PyMOL does this
based on atom identifiers (chain, resi, etc.). I suggest assigning
ascending chain letters to the three parts before fusing.
alter nterminus, chain='A'
alter middlesub, chain='B'
alter cterminus, chain='C'
fuse ...
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi Mary,
Just a hint for any future lists you might be on: most modern email
lists, including pymol-users, have footers with links to subscription
options. You simply click that to get to a subscription page where you
can unsubscribe.
In this case, I removed you from the list to save you the hassle.
Cheers,

How do I remove myself from the PyMOL users list? I'd like to stop
receiving emails.
Thank you.

Hi All,
I recall asking a bunch of questions here about Fuse earlier this year, but
I haven't needed to come back to it until now. Apologies if this has
already been addressed elsewhere.
When I fuse, the two objects are manually attached in a reasonable way,
correct? Does the cartoon representation accurately reflect that
attachment? I just fused 3 subunits together, and there are some fairly
noticeable gaps between subunits when looking at the cartoon view. Even
though they look properly fused from the line view, since our publication
will rely on the cartoon view for simplicity, these gaps
are...unacceptable. Does anyone know the reason for them, and how to fix
them? Additionally, the residue order in the sequence view is scrambled.
They are attached in the correct order, but the middle subunit is displayed
first, then the N-terminus, then the C-terminus.
Thanks,
Alex Truong

Hi Balaji,
the latest incentive builds (since v1.4, as far as I know) from
Schrödinger are shipped with python 2.7. If you are looking for the
open-source version, Christoph Gohlke has Windows builds with python2.7
as described on the PyMOLWiki:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Windows_Install#Pre-compiled_PyMOL
Cheers,
 Thomas

 I wanted to changed the size of sphere_scale for all atoms in an
 object, a selection of Calpha atoms.
 I thought I could use the command
 set sphere_scale, 5, object_name
 this doesnt seem to work and am unclear as to the reason.
 thanks
 jon
 does the command

Dear all,
I am trying to morph two protein-protein complex pdb files.
Everything looks fine but somehow during the morphing the complex structure
is also bouncing up and down instead of a morphing at a fix large catalytic
reference domain of chain A.
If I only use chain A of the complex it morphs perfectly, somehow including
chain B makes things complicated.
How can I morph these two pdb without extra bouncing.
With my best regards.

Dear Thomas
Which version of pymol has python 2.7.
Is it free for academics or I have to purchase license from schrodinger.
Kindly advice.
Many Thanks

Hi Heng,

See https://www.google.com/?q=pymol%20cgo. There is a chapter
subsection on CGOs and also a few scripts the demonstrate their usage.
> In addition, is the pymol volume visualize (http://pymol.org/volume)

Volume visualization is available in the Incentive version and
open-source builds, but not the free Educational version.

Hi Per,
You'll probably want to use something like this:
# load the file
load http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/html/00150001_00175000/153919/153919.pdb,
myMolecule
# ray trace and save the image; you need to do this since you're running
# PyMOL headlessly
png ~/foo.png, height=768, width=1024, ray=1
As far as missing output that's most likely because you're running
remotely and the stdout/stderr are being piped elsewhere. This is
common on clusters.
Cheers,
