News & Updates Official Release [AxPyMOL, and JyMO v1.7 have all been released] today, January 14, 2014. New Plugin Bondpack is a a collection of PyMOL plugins for easy visualization of atomic bonds. New Plugin MOLE 2.0 is a new plugin for rapid analysis of biomacromolecular channels in PyMOL. 3D using Geforce PyMOL can now be visualized in 3D using Nvidia GeForce video cards (series 400+) with 120Hz monitors and Nvidia 3D Vision, this was previously only possible with Quadro video cards. New Plugin GROMACS_Plugin is a new plugin that ties together PyMOL and GROMACS. New Software CMPyMOL is a software that interactively visualizes 2D contact maps of proteins in PyMOL.

Did you know... Dehydron Type PyMOL Plugin Download plugins/dehydron.py Author(s) Osvaldo Martin License MIT This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Introduction A dehydron is a protein backbone hydrogen bond incompletely shielded from water attack. A desolvated hydrogen bond is energetically more favourable than one exposed to the solvent and hence dehydrons are sticky , since they promote the removal of surrounding water through protein associations or ligand binding. Dehydrons are less conserved than other structural motifs, hence identification of dehydrons could help to increase specificity during the rational drug design process. Certain proteins are enriched in dehydrons such as membrane proteins, toxic proteins and proteins that have a strong tendency to aggregate. Dehydrons have been invoked to explain biological processes above the molecular level such as the dosage imbalance effect in duplicated genes and the high connectivity of the protein interactomes of higher organisms. A putative dehydron can be detected by ..→
