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. 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... Colorbydisplacement Type Python Script Download scripts/colorbydisplacement.py Author(s) Troels E. Linnet License BSD This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Introduction This script allows you to color two structures by distance displacement between an Open and Closed form of a protein, as calculated by PyMol's internal distance command. The pairwise distance is calculated between all-atoms. The distance displacement values are stored as B-factors of these residues, which are colored by a rainbow color spectrum, with blue specifying minimum and red indicating maximum. Do keep in mind, all original B-factors values are overwritten! There exist one version. ColorByDisplacementAll is between All atoms in residues and is quite slow => 3-5 mins for a run. Ideal for sticks representation. You have to specify which residues should be used in the alignment procedure, or it will take all residues as standard V.2 is implemented the 2011.01.06 - Due to a bug in coloring.
