News & Updates Official Release PyMOL v1.8.0 has been released on Nov 18, 2015. PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship Schrödinger is now accepting applications for the PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship program! Details on http://pymol.org/fellowship Official Release PyMOL, AxPyMOL, and JyMOL v1.7.6 have all been released on May 4, 2015. New Plugin PyANM is a new plugin for easier Anisotropic Network Model (ANM) building and visualising in PyMOL. New Plugin Bondpack is a collection of PyMOL plugins for easy visualization of atomic bonds. New Plugin MOLE 2.0 is a new plugin for rapid analysis of biomacromolecular channels in PyMOL. 3D using Geforce PyMOL can now be visualized in 3D using Nvidia GeForce video cards (series 400+) with 120Hz monitors and Nvidia 3D Vision, this was previously only possible with Quadro video cards.

Did you know... FindSurfaceCharge Type Python Module Download scripts/findSurfaceCharge.py Author(s) Teddy Warner License BSD-2-Clause This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Drawing upon the findSurfaceResidues script, the findSurfaceCharge script will identify and output a list of all charged residues on the surface of a selectionand calculates the ionization state of a protein at a given pH. The charge can be calculated for either a folded or denatured protein. This function is intended to be used to give buffer conditions for mass spectrometry. Usage findSurfaceCharge [selection, [pH, [folded ,[cutoff]]]] Arguments selection = str: The object or selection for which to find exposed residues {default: all} pH = float: The pH to calculate the surface charge at {default: 7.0} folded = bool: Whether the program should calculate the charge of a folded (True) or denatured (False) protein. cutoff = float: The cutoff in square Angstroms that defines exposed or not. Those atoms with > cutoff Ang^2 ..→
