News & Updates PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship Schrödinger is now accepting applications for the PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship program! Details on http://pymol.org/fellowship Official Release PyMOL, AxPyMOL, and JyMOL v1.7.6 have all been released on May 4, 2015. New Plugin PyANM is a new plugin for easier Anisotropic Network Model (ANM) building and visualising in PyMOL. New Plugin Bondpack is 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.

Did you know... LatticeGenerator This is a simple script to generate a repeating atom lattice. It just writes atoms in PDB format, and PyMOL will automatically connect adjacent atoms when loading the PDB file. You may adjust the c and/or x_shift, y_shift arrays to obtain different geometries, and the number of iterations in the loops to adjust the lattice size. See also the thread on pymol-users mailing list. <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> from numpy import array coordinates of the repeating unit (from cyclohexane) c = array([[ 0.064, 2.851, -1.085 ], [ 0.260, 1.969, 0.159 ]]) x_shift = array([ 1.67441517, -0.91605961, 1.66504574]) y_shift = array([-0.69477826, -0.40578592, 2.40198410]) template string for PDB hetatom line s = 'HETATM %4d C03 UNK 1 %8.3f%8.3f%8.3f 0.00 0.00 C ' out = open('lattice.pdb', 'w') i = 0 for x in range(10): for y in range(10): for v in (c + ..→
