Summary We run a script to compute the distance between 2 atoms in a series of PDB files with identical molecules in different conformations and save the distance results into a plain text file. No …
PyMOL
PyMOL and Biological Units from REMARK 350
Summary Compute biological assembly from coordinates with a python script. Symmetry X-ray crystallography solved the mathematical problem to provide 3D (cartesian) coordinates but the resulting “asymmetric unit cell” does not necessarily represent the biological structure. …

POSE: build, manipulate, mutate, L, D, protein molecular structures
Summary Pose is a Python library for building and manipulating protein molecular structures. Builds with L- and D- amino acids or a mixture; can open existing PDB structures. Computes many molecular properties. Pose Library Pose …
3D Protein Imager a PyMOL/Qutemol web alternative
Summary Molecule of the Month In the year 2000 David Goodsell started to provide stories on the The Protein Data Bank web site as the “molecule of the month” with his unique style that was …
Faster image creation in PyMOL: Shortcuts and Docker
Summary PyMOL command scripts are available natively and within Docker images. PyMOL Scripts PyMOL offers a very easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) to manipulate loaded molecule, and alter the appearance and coloring options. However, while …
No GUI PyMOL for high throughput images and optional Docker
Summary Computing a PNG image for each of 1,000 PDB file as a cartoon, color-coded by B factor. PyMOL without GUI PyMOL is routinely used by Biologists to illustrate molecules, using the graphical user interface …
