Split_States splits and orients multiple models and multimers from the biological unit file into a set of single-state molecular objects.
Syntax
split_states object [, first [, last [, prefix ]]]
This splits the object from first to last out to the array of objects prefixed by prefix. The prefix option is very handy if all your states--or a subset of the states--have the same name.
Using
To use split_states simply Load your molecule
# example usage
load fileName.pdb1, name
split_states name
delete name
# split all the states to objects starting with conf
fetch 1nmr
split_states 1nmr, prefix=conf
Example
1VLS: A dimer.
load 1vls.pdb1, 1vls
split_states 1vls
dele 1vls
1VLS as a monomer. This is the state of 1VLS when I load the molecule (and select cartoon representation).
1VLS as a dimer using the split_states command. Notice PyMOL automatically loads and orients the new molecules.
