Did you know... BbPlane Type Python Module Download scripts/bbPlane.py Author(s) Jason Vertrees, Blaine Bell and Thomas Holder License MIT This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo This script will draw a CGO plane between the backbone atoms of two neighboring residues. This is to show the planarity of the atoms. The image style this is meant to represent can be found many places, like "Introduction to Protein Structure" by Branden and Tooze (2nd ed. pp. 8).
