Did you know... Findseq Type Python Script Download findseq.py Author(s) Jason Vertrees License BSD This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Overview & Motivation Anyone ever give you a protein and then say, find the sequence "FLVEW"? Well, this script will find any string or regular expression in a given object and return that selection for you. Here's an example, reinitialize import findseq # fetch two sugar-binding PDB fetch 1tvn, async=0 # Now, find FATEW in 1tvn, similarly findseq FATEW, 1tvn # lower-case works, too findseq fatew, 1tvn # how about a regular expression? findseq F.*W, 1tvn # Find the regular expression: # ..H[TA]LVWH # in the few proteins loaded. # I then showed them as sticks and colored them to highlight matched AAs for x in cmd.get_names(): findseq.findseq("..H[TA]LVWH", x, "sele_"+x, firstOnly=1) Red residues were those matching the regular expression '..H[TA]LVWH'. Usage I built this to be rather flexible. You ..→
