AlphaToAll alphatoall (all lower case) is a core command since PyMOL 1.7.2 Overview AlphaToAll will expand the alpha-carbon property that you specify to all atoms in the residues. For example, if you set the b-factor column to some different value for all alpha carbons, this script will propagate those values into all the atoms as well. In the example below, notice the color of the sticks. The alpha carbon here has a color property that does not match the rest of the residue. This script will fix that, expanding the color attribute to the rest of the atoms. Usage <source lang="python"> expand propertyName in objName on all the alpha carbons to every atom, for each residue alphaToAll objName, propertyName Example #1 For all objects, for each residue, set every atom's b-column value to match that residue's alpha carbon's b-column value. alphaToAll *, b Example #2 For selection 1qox and c.
