Did you know... BiologicalUnit/Quat Note: PyMOL 1.8 can load biological units from mmCIF files with the assembly setting. Included in psico This command or function is available from psico, which is a PyMOL extension. Module (biomolecule) psico.xtal (biomolecule) This script does more or less the same as BiologicalUnit. It creates the quaternary structure (BIOMOLECULE 1 assembly) from the REMARK 350 header. This script is convenient to use because it searches automatically for the PDB file in the current directory, in fetch_path and (if available) in your local PDB mirror. Also available from psico, but the command is called biomolecule instead of quat. Example Usage fetch 3bw1, type=pdb quat 3bw1 as cartoon The Code <source lang="python"> (c) 2010-2011 Thomas Holder, MPI for Developmental Biology Module for reading REMARK records from PDB files and in particular generate quaterny structure from REMARK 350. import sys, os from pymol ..→
