Did you know... ColorByRMSD Type Python Module Download scripts/colorbyrmsd.py Author(s) Shivender Shandilya, Jason Vertrees, Thomas Holder License BSD-2-Clause This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Introduction This script allows you to color two structures by Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD). The distances between aligned C-alpha atom pairs are stored as B-factors of these residues, which are colored by a color spectrum, with blue specifying the minimum pairwise RMSD and red indicating the maximum. Unaligned residues are colored gray. Usage colorbyrmsd mobile, target [, doAlign [, doPretty [, guide [, method ]]]] Arguments mobile = string: atom selection for mobile atoms target = string: atom selection for target atoms doAlign = 0 or 1: Superpose selections before calculating distances {default: 1} doPretty = 0 or 1: Show nice representation and colors {default: 1} guide = 0 or 1: Only use C-alpha atoms {default: 1} method = align ..→
