Did you know... FindSurfaceResidues Type Python Module Download findSurfaceResidues.py Author(s) Jason Vertrees License BSD-2-Clause This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo The findSurfaceResidues script will select (and color if requested) surface residues and atoms on an object or selection. See the options below. Each time, the script will create two new selections called, exposed_res_XYZ and exposed_atm_XYZ where XYZ is some random number. This is done so that no other selections/objects are overwritten. Usage findSurfaceResidues [ selection=all [, cutoff=2.5 [, doShow=0 ]]] Arguments selection = str: The object or selection for which to find exposed residues {default: all} cutoff = float: The cutoff in square Angstroms that defines exposed or not. Those atoms with > cutoff Ang^2 exposed will be considered exposed {default: 2.5 Ang^2} doShow = 0/1: Change the visualization to highlight the exposed residues vs interior {default: 0} Examples <gallery> Image:FindExRes.png|thumb|right ..→
