Did you know... Map set Map_set created this consensus volume representation of aligned ligands bound to kinases. See example below. Map_set provides a number of common operations on and between maps. For example, with Map_set you can add two maps together or create a consensus map from a series of maps or even take a difference map. Usage map_set name, operator, operands, target_state, source_state operator may be, average copy difference maximum minimum sum unique Examples # add 3 maps map_set my_sum, sum, map1 map2 map3 # calculate the average map map_set my_avg, average, map1 map2 map3 Detailed Example This example shows you how to create a consensus map of the bound ligand in a conserved pocket. <source lang="python"> fetch some similar proteins from the PDB fetch 1oky 1h1w 1okz 1uu3 1uu7 1uu8 1uu9 1uvr, async=0 align them all to 1oky; their ligands should all now be aligned alignto ..→
