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 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: }
• state = int: object state {default: -1 (current state)}
