Hi,<br /><br />I encountered a weird recent behavior of the command align.<br /><br />In a script where I use the command<br />align (PO4 &amp; name OP1+OP2+P), PO4_target<br /><br />Where PO4 is a selection of O3&#39;,O5&quot;,P,OP1,OP2 atoms as well as PO4_target<br /><br />When I run the script with &quot;pymol -c&quot; I get the following<br /><br />PyMOL&gt;align (PO4 &amp; name OP1+OP2+P), PO4_target<br />&nbsp;Match: read scoring matrix.<br />&nbsp;Match: assigning 1 x 1 pairwise scores.<br />&nbsp;MatchAlign: aligning residues (1 vs 1)...<br />&nbsp;ExecutiveAlign: 2 atoms aligned.<br />&nbsp;Executive: RMS =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0.023 (2 to 2 atoms)<br /><br />The allignment is made only on 2 atoms. (OP1 and OP2)<br />While, it works if I introduce the command in the graphic window of pymol.<br /><br />This worked perfectly with earlier versions of pymol.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Pascal

Dear PyMOLers,
I can set the grid in the apbs_tools gui using the default file locations (they are correct; I checked), but I get kernel dump when I try to run apbs.
A gui pops up with the message that MacPyMOL crashed although the PyMOL guis are still open and functional. The pop-u gui gives the following error message.
Best regards,
Blaine

Hi Vaheh,
regarding psize.py: There is indeed a problem, I'm sorry. The simple
hotfix is to replace
 C:\Program Files\PyMOL\PyMOL\modules\freemol\apbs.py
with
 http://pymol.org/tmp/apbs.py
Regarding the "program stopped working" error: This doesn't happen for
me with 64bit Windows 7 or XP. Is there any additional information you
could provide, like does it happend with any file or just with
particular ones?
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi Dan,
The PDB 3ZLJ only has 13,233 atoms in the PDB. Recent versions of PyMOL
_should_ be able to handle that in 3D with transparent surfaces and sticks
just fine. I don't have an FX 4800, but have tested on similar hardware
with larger systems successfully.
Can anyone out there with a Quadro FX 4800 or similar comment on 3D
performance with 3ZLJ?
For what it's worth, in anaglyph 3D mode (which does double-rendering) for
3ZLJ, shown as described above, on a MacBook Pro with an NVidia GeForce
650M, I'm getting about 48 FPS.
Cheers,
-- Jason

Hi,
This is a fairly basic question about syntax. How does one: as surface the
protein and pseudoatoms in the short script below? Moreover, and work with
the Lysine amines rather than the alpha carbons?
# for_gnp.py
# fetch a protein and create whole phage
cmd.fetch("1ifp", type="pdb1", multiplex=1, async=0)
# make a blank list
l=[]
# iterate over all lysine's alpha carbons
cmd.iterate_state(1, "n. CA and resn lys", "l.append((x,y,z))")
# set a counter to 0 for controlling unique names
p=0
# iterate over all coordinates and create a
# pseudoatom at each lysine's alpha carbon
for ca in l:
 p+=1
 cmd.pseudoatom("pseudo%s" % (p), pos=ca, vdw=5.0)
# measure the pairwise distances across all pseudoatoms just created
cmd.distance("/pseudo*", "/pseudo*")
Many thanks,
James

Hi Michael,
this is exactly what the new arbitrary atom properties are intended for,
very nice. To answer your questions:
The context menu will list all property names which are found on the
first atom of the selection.
Selecting by those properties is not supported yet, but hopefully soon.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hello all,
If anyone is using PyMOL with NVidia's 3D Vision, I am wondering if
you could help me estimate performance with a prospective build. On
the PyMOL web site, the graphics card recommendations for 3D Vision
are as follows:
120Hz) NVidia 3D NVision with:
 (entry) NVidia Quadro 580; entry level cards begin at approximately 99ドル
 (better) NVidia Quadro FX 3800/4800
 (best) NVidia Quadro Q5000/Q6000
As someone used to quantitative benchmarks, I'm not exactly sure what
"entry", "better", and "best" actually mean. I'm thinking of pairing a
Quadro FX 4800 with an i7 4770k. I've never used a 3D Vision setup
before and am wondering what kind of performance to expect. Would it
be able to render a reasonably complex structure (picking at random,
3ZLJ) with a transparent surface and stick representation without
lagging?
Any quantitative information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dan

Hi PyMOLers,
It looks like v1.6.0.0 treats APBS plugin differently, at least on my 64 bit Windows laptop. After setting grid and few seconds after clicking "Run APBS" button message appears in new window stating that program stopped working and needs to close the window. Also, it looks like I can't find anymore psize.py location, though not sure if these two issues are connected. Anybody else saw this behavior? If so, what is solution? PyMOL v1.5.0.5 was great in this respect; worked out of box.
Thanks for help.

It's a feature. Both the "select" and the "distance" command actually
take as first argument the name of the object which they will create.
But they are "smart" enough to recognize when you skipped the first
argument, then they use default names (sele, dist01).
So better write this:
select lysca, resn LYS and n. CA
distance lysdist, lysca, lysca
Cheers,
 Thomas

James,
If the CA position is acceptable as the residue coordinate (as assumed in
Jason's answer), then you don't need to bother with pseudoatoms. Here's the
easiest way to display all the distances for a figure:
select resn LYS and n. CA
dist (sele), (sele)
Aside: this doesn't work for me as `dist sele, sele`. Anyone know why? Is
that a bug or a feature?
If you need to print the individual distances rather than display them,
this gets slightly harder :
atms=[]
iterate resn LYS and n. CA, atms.append( (model,ID,resi) )
# print residue IDs and CA-CA distance
print "\n".join([ "%s, %s, %s" % ( atms[i][2],atms[j][2],
cmd.distance("dist","%s and ID %s" % atms[i][:2], "%s and ID
%s"%atms[j][:2])) for i in xrange(1,len(atms)) for j in xrange(i)])
BTW, are you studying crosslinking?

Hi Feng,
is this open-source PyMOL from Ubuntu repository, compiled from SVN
source or Incentive PyMOL downloaded from pymol.org/dsc? If it's from
the Ubuntu repository, can you please compile from SVN source and check
if the problem still exists? Thanks!

Hi Alicia,
the DistancesRH script seems to do a lot of specific stuff beyond simple
distance matrix calculation. If you have scipy installed, this will give
you a distance matrix:
from pymol import cmd
from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist
coords = cmd.get_model('guide').get_coord_list()
distances = cdist(coords, coords)
Note the "guide" selection, which are all the polymer CAs.

Hi all,
I am trying to make a data matrix of pairwise distances between all alpha
carbons of a protein. Currently I am using the script DistancesRH but this
spits back the distances from one alpha carbon to all other atoms. Any way
to only do CA to CA or is there another script to use? Thanks

Hi Hendrik,
the easiest is to patch the mutagenesis wizard. Check the attached
patch, it shows two different methods to activate a new amino acid. The
first method registers rotamers in the rotamer library, the second
method just adds the name. For the second method, you can also use
rotamer angles from some already known amino adic.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi everyone,
I found Pymol(1.6.0.0) will crash (segmentation fault) during loading any pse files on Ubuntu 12.10, even the pse file was output by itself.
Except this problem, other functions work fine. Additionally, this problem did not appear on Windows 7 and Scientific Linux 6.
I noticed the similar bug has been reported before, and was claimed it had been fix in version 1.6.0.0.
Are there anyone found same problem on the Ubuntu? Was the bug not fix completely?
Thanks for any help!
Regards,

Founder of Tool Command Language to talk about Tcl Past, Present &
Future
Ann Arbor, MI -- August 16, 2013 -- The Tcl/Tk User Association, which
is celebrating over 20 years of innovation using the Tool Command
Language (Tcl), confirmed today that John Ousterhout will be a
Featured Speaker at the conference in New Orleans, LA from Sept 23-27,
2013.
 Ousterhout is the original developer of the Tcl and Tk programming
language, a combination of the Tool Command Language and the Tk
graphical user interface tookit (Tk). His presentation will focus on
the evolution of Tcl/Tk from its original language format created at
the University of California Berkeley to the most robust and
easy-to-learn dynamic programming language that seamlessly powers
today's applications. He is also the author of Tcl and the Tk ToolKit
(2nd Edition).
"John started a revolution born out of frustration," says Clif Flynt,
President, Tcl Community Association and author of Tcl/Tk: A
Developer's Guide. "Before Tcl, programmers devised their own
languages that were intended to be embedded into applications. By
creating Tcl/Tk, John created a language for rapid prototyping that
works immediately."
The Tcl New and Proven user conference will feature several Tcl
experts including Jeff Hobbs, Chief Technical Officer at ActiveState,
Gerald Lester, creator of Tcl Web Services and a keynote speech by
Karl Lehenbauer of FlightAware.com. Programmers attending the
conference will learn the best practices for using Tcl's new
object-oriented commands and widgets as well as seeing new
applications and techniques in the fields ranging from business
applications to health, aerospace and beyond.
"The Tcl New & Proven User Conference will be focusing on innovation
throughout the years," says Flynt. "We are very pleased to have two of
the people who helped create the Tcl we know today at our 20th
conference."
Interested in attending the Tcl conference? Go to
http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2013/ to register. Learn more about
Tcl/Tk by visiting the Tcl Developer Xchange http://www.tcl.tk/ where
you can download Tcl 8.6 and a free trial of TDK 5 (Tcl Dev Kit).
###
About Tcl/Tk (http://www.tcl.tk/)
Celebrating over 20 years of providing rapid prototyping, Tool Command
Language (Tcl) is an open source, robust, powerful and easy-to-learn
dynamic programming language ideal for today's web and desktop
applications, networking, administration, and testing. Tk is a
graphical user interface toolkit that enables the development of
native-looking GUIs on multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac OS X
and Linux. The combination of Tcl and the Tk GUI toolkit is referred
to as Tcl/Tk..
 
The vibrant Tcl user community comes together on the Tcl Developer
Xchange website hosted by ActiveState (http://www.tcl.tk/), which
provides a variety of resources for programmers working with Tcl/Tk to
increase their productivity and share ideas. Worldwide Tcl
conferences, Tcl/Tk downloads and access to the Tcler's Wiki are all
available online at the Tcl Developer Xchange. The latest books,
tutorials and demos are also accessible from this site along with the
Tcl core development team that steers the ongoing evolution of the
language.

Hi Chris,
good news: we are working on a multi-line label implementation right
now! Bad news: you have to wait for the next PyMOL release.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi,
A similar question exists already (29/3/2011, Andreas Spitzmüller). Was 'newline' ever implemented for labels? I need it to label specific residues (Ca-atom only) with their PSSM score. In effect I want to label specific Ca-atoms with a 20-line list like:
A 3.2
W 5.0
E -3.0
....
Y 1.0
For this it would be most useful if I could use newline in my label definition. Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Chris

see http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/#atomproperties for several
suggestions.

Greetings,
this is a quick announcement that we added the "metals" keyword to the
selection language (SVN code revision 4039).
Since PyMOL's selection language is one of the powerful core features
that make so many complex tasks so easy, we plan to add more useful
keywords and operators. For example selecting by x,y,z coordinates, or
selecting by secondary structure element. If you have a good idea for a
new keyword or operator, please file a feature request on sourceforge.
Cheers,
 Thomas

For a definition of TTT , see http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Object_Matrix
You'll notice that set_object_ttt takes a 16-member list that corresponds to this matrix.

Thank you Thomas, translate and rotate works great, but I'm not sure what
set_object_ttt function does.
I'm also looking for a function that can set absolute coordinates of my cgo
cone, not relative to current position like translate/rotate. Is there such
a function?
