Did you know... Fnab fnab builds nucleic acid entities from sequence. The sequence must be specified in one-letter code. Only one fragment can be created at a type (no spaces allowed unlike the 'fab' command). Similar functionality is also provided by the graphical Builder in "Nucleic Acid" mode. New in PyMOL version 2.3 USAGE fnab input [, name [, type [, form [, dbl_helix ]]]] ARGUMENTS input = string: Nucleic Acid sequence in one-letter code name = string: name of object to create or modify {default: obj??} mode = string: "DNA" or "RNA" {default: "DNA"} form = string: "A" or "B" {default: "B"} dbl_helix = bool (0/1): flag for using double helix in DNA EXAMPLE # Create default (B-DNA) chain fnab ATGCGATAC # Create B-DNA chain with specific name fnab ATGCGATAC, name=myDNA, mode=DNA, form=B, dbl_helix=1 # Create RNA chain fnab AAUUUUCCG, mode=RNA Example 1 SEE ALSO Builder ..→
