Did you know... Inertia tensor Type Python Module Download scripts/inertia_tensor.py Author(s) Mateusz Maciejewski License MIT This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo This script will draw the eigenvectors of the inertia tensor of the selected part of the molecule. Usage tensor selection, name, model Examples To draw the inertia tensor of the first model in PDB file 4B2R do: fetch 4b2r, async=0 hide lines show cartoon run inertia_tensor.py tensor 4b2r & n. n+ca+c & i. 569-623, tensor_dom11, 1 Reference A figure generated using this script can be seen in the following reference: Estimation of interdomain flexibility of N-terminus of factor H using residual dipolar couplings.
