Did you know... Save2traj Note: See save_traj for an improved version of this script. Description WARNING: This script is still under development so please use at your own risk! This script can be used to generate a DCD trajectory file after you have loaded multiple states into a single object. Currently, the only supported trajectory format is DCD but there will be support for other formats in the future. USAGE load the script using the run command save2traj (selection, name) "name" corresponds to the output name and ".dcd" will be appended to the end of the name automatically. The trajectory file that is generated could be numbered differently than your PDB file since PyMOL modifies the RESID values. Thus, it may be necessary to open your original PDB file and save the molecule (with modified RESIDs) to a new file. Then, load the trajectory into that new file. Alternatively, one could ..→
