Split states

Overview

Split_States splits and orients multiple models and multimers from the biological unit file.

Using

To use split_states simply Load your molecule

load fileName.pdb1, name
split_states name
delete name

Example

1VLS: A dimer.

load 1vls.pdb1, 1vls
split_states 1vls
dele 1vls

• 

  1VLS as a monomer. This is the state of 1VLS when I load the molecule (and select cartoon representation).

• 

  1VLS as a dimer using the split_states command. Notice PyMOL automatically loads and orients the new molecules.
