News & Updates New Command Cache—stores information on structures, so we don't have to recompute them. Warren News about Warren DeLano's passing may be read on Warren's memorial page. Setting Fetch_Path—Sets the default path for the fetch command. New Script SelInside—Creates a custom selection of all atoms spatially inside some user-defined box. New Script ContactsNCONT—The script selects residues and atoms from the list of the contacts found by NCONT from CCP4 Program Suite Fun PCR Rap video made with PyMOL (YouTube).

PyMOLWiki New — Search the PyMOLWiki via GoogleSearch PyMOL PyMOL is known to work under Mac OS X 10+ (Snow Leopard) using the new Fink and incentive builds. See Installing PyMOL under Fink. PyMOL PyMOL now has a Set command for basic settings, and a Set_bond command for bond-only settings.

Did you know... Pdb conect all When saving a PDB file, the pdb_conect_all settings controls whether PyMOL writes CONECT records for all bonds, or only for HETATM bonds. PDB files by convention do not contain bond information for standard polymer residues (ATOM records), because the connectivity is known for those. If a PDB file contains at least one CONECT record for two atoms from ATOM records, then PyMOL will set pdb_conect_all=on as an object-level setting, to ..→
