Did you know... All states ==Overview== When set "on", this setting causes PyMOL to display all states or in NMR jargon: all the models in the ensemble. The 'default' behavior (OFF) can be overridden by placing the "set all_states, on" statement into your '.pymolrc' file, located in your login directory (under all flavors of unix). Syntax set all_states, on set all_states, off Example # fetch a PDB and show it in multiple states; this one # line does the work of the next 6 lines. fetch 1nmr # this is older code, use the above code which is newer import urllib2 pdbCode = '1BRV' pdbUrl = 'http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/downloadFile.do?fileFormat=pdb&compression=NO&structureId='+pdbCode pdbFile = urllib2.urlopen(pdbUrl) pdbContent = pdbFile.read() cmd.read_pdbstr(pdbContent, pdbCode) set all_states, on This shows the effect of turning on/off the all_states setting used with the script above. <gallery> Image:All_states_on.png|set all_states, on Image:All_states_off.png|set ..→
