Did you know... Forster distance calculator Type Python Script Download forster_distance_calculator.py Author(s) Troels E. Linnet License BSD This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Introduction This script can be handsome, if one is working with Förster resonance energy transfer in proteins. The script calculates the Förster distance: R0, from two dyes excitation/emission spectres. This script is very handsome, if one want's to pick two dyes from different companies, and the Förster distance is not provided in a table. This script does no calculation of proteins in pymol, but is made as a "hack/shortcut" for a python script. We use the python part of pymol to do the calculations, so a student would not need to install python at home, but simply pymol. Spectre input There should be provided the path to four datafiles: Excitation and Emission spectre for the Donor dye: D_Exi="path.txt" D_Emi="path.txt Excitation and Emission spectre ..→
