Did you know...
The
cartoon_cylindrical_helices setting makes
cartoon helices appear as simple cylinders.
Changed in PyMOL 2.5: Cylinders are not straight anymore but follow the actual curved shape of a helix. Straight helices are still available as mode 2.
Modes
0: Off (helices will be rendered according to the cartoon property or settings like cartoon_fancy_helices )
1: Curved helices (since PyMOL 2.5)
2: Straight helices
Example
fetch 1bb1
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1
as cartoon
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 2
