Pucker

DESCRIPTION

pucker.py is a PyMol script that returns the sugar pucker information (phase, amplitude, pucker) for a given selection.

This script uses its own dihedral calculation scheme rather than the get_dihedral command. Thus, it is lightning fast!

If a selection does not contain any ribose sugars then an error message is returned.

USAGE

load the script using the run command

pucker selection

EXAMPLES

#fetch 1BNA.pdb
fetch 1bna

#Select DNA only
#Otherwise, you will get an error for water not having sugars
select DNA, not solvent

#Execute pucker command
pucker DNA

#The output should look like this
