I do like a command called “ray_trace_mode” in PyMOL because different modes can generate different light and color effects on the structure I want to express to readers/students. Here is a quick examples of the effect on different modes. The structure I use at here is LolA which PDB code is 1UA8. 1. ray_trace_mode 0 [...]
[KPWU blog] [PyMOL] gradient background color
gradient background color
Starting at *PyMOL 1.4, *single color for the background is no longer the only choice. By using 3 PyMOL commands, the gradient background color can be easily shown. The only thing users have to know is that command “ray” doesn’t support this gradient color yet. So if you type “ray” in the pymol terminal , http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=619&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1

DNA?example II
Follow up previous post, here shows several modes available in PyMOL to display the ribbon/chain of DNA/RNA. Example molecule: B-form DNA PDB code: *2L8Q Running version, PyMOL 1.3 (x11 version on MacOS 10.6) The previous version use “oval” to show the ribbon of DNA. Here are some other ways to show the ribbon: 1. default http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=446&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1

[KPWU blog] [PyMOL] example of DNA
example of DNA
Several private emails request me to show some examples of DNA/RNA using PyMOL. I am not familiar with commands related to nucleic acids in PyMOL because I never have chance to study DNA/RNA. I made some posts few years ago just for fun. Here is a step-by-step re-cap I make followed by our old post. http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=429&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1

[KPWU blog] PyMOL-electrostaic surface view
PyMOL-electrostaic surface view
To make electrostatic surface view of protein using PyMOL, two ways are often suggest. One option is using ABPS to generate the electrostatic map. Here is one nice instruction at PyMOLwiki using ABPS. Another option is using Delphi developed by Barry Honig group to generate the electrostatic map of protein. I am writing a note http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=322&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1

[KPWU blog] pynmr ? an excellent PyMol?s NMR extension
pynmr ? an excellent PyMol?s NMR extension
When I installed PyMol on my iMac using Fink, I found there are some plugins installed already. One of the famous plugin is PDB loader, I believe every one loves it a lot. A new one (at least it’s new to me) is NMR extension written by a Canadian group. Thank you! I’m lovin it http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=301&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1
