Did you know... ToGroup Type Python Script Download scripts/togroup.py Author(s) Jason Vertrees License - This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Overview toGroup will convert a multistate object into a group of single-state objects. Be warned, by default it deletes your original object (since it's extracting a copy). PyMOL does a great job at handling multistate objects and grouping them together. One thing that I found myself doing over and over again was loading a multistate object (say a PDBQT file with 100 ligand poses) splitting that object into all 100 states, with some given prefix then grouping them into their own group and then finally removing the original. This became tedious, so I automated that with this script. Examples # A multistate object (20 NMR states) fetch 1nmr # Create the group called, "nmrEnsemble" # from '1nmr' and name all the new states state1, # state2, state3, etc. toGroup nmrEnsemble, 1nmr, prefix=state The Code <source lang="python"> import ..→
