Did you know... Dssp Included in psico This command or function is available from psico, which is a PyMOL extension. Module psico.editing dssp is a wrapper for the popular DSSP program, which computes secondary structure. The command updates PyMOL's ss atom property. Installation The dssp command is available from the psico package and requires the dssp binary (or mkdssp, dsspcmbi, dssp-2). All dependencies are available from Anaconda Cloud: conda install -c schrodinger pymol conda install -c schrodinger pymol-psico conda install -c salilab -c speleo3 dssp Usage dssp [ selection [, exe [, raw [, state ]]]] Arguments selection = str: atom selection {default: all} exe = str: path to dssp binary {default: search $PATH for dsspcmbi, dssp, dssp-2, mkdssp} raw = str: atom property to assign the dssp secondary structure type to. This type will also be translated to PyMOL's H/S/L types and assiged to the ss property {default: } ..→
