Did you know... Save save writes selected atoms to a file. Details The file format is autodetected if the extension is .pdb, .pqr, .mol, .sdf, .pkl, .pkla, .mmd, .out, .dat, .mmod, .pmo, .pov, .png, .pse, .psw, .aln, .fasta, .obj, .mtl, .wrl, .idtf, .dae, or .mol2. If the file extension is ".pse" (PyMOL Session), the complete PyMOL state is always saved to the file (the selection and state parameters are thus ignored). CLUSTALW formatted alignments can be written by PyMOL as well. Once you perform an alignment like the following, align proteinA, proteinB, object=A_on_B the alignment can be written using: save A_aligned_with_B.aln, A_on_B USAGE save file [,(selection) [,state [,format]] ] EXAMPLES # save only the alpha carbons save onlyCAs.pdb, n. CA # save my MD trajectory file to disk save myTraj.pdb, myMDTrajectory, state=0 # save a PyMOL session save thisSession.pse ===PYMOL ..→
