Did you know... Fab fab builds peptide entities from sequence. The sequence must be specified in one-letter code. Several fragments will be created if the sequence contains spaces (chain breaks). To specify chain-id and residue number, an advanced syntax pattern like chain/resi/ can be put before each sequence fragment. Similar functionality is also provided by the graphical Builder in "Protein" mode. New in PyMOL version 1.2 USAGE fab input [, name [, mode [, resi [, chain [, segi [, state [, dir [, hydro [, ss [, async ]]]]]]]]]] ARGUMENTS input = string: Amino acid sequence in one-letter code name = string: name of object to create or modify {default: obj??} mode = string: Only supported mode is "peptide" {default: peptide} resi = integer: Residue number to start numbering from {default: 1} chain, segi = string: Chain id and segment id to assign state = integer: {default: -1} dir = 0/1: 0=append to N-terminus, 1=append to C-terminus {default: 1} hydro = 0/1: With or without hydrogens ..→
