Motif Small script to show backbone motifs. Use like "motif 10-12" to show a segment from residues 10 to 12. The (optional) chain argument is the chain letter, but the output lists the chain along with the residue, so it's not essential to use this. When run, the output looks like this (for pdbid 1arb): PyMOL>motif 10-12 VAL-10 : ( -62, -31 ) AR VAL-11 : ( -72, -8 ) AR CYS-12 : ( -70, 170 ) BR The "AR", "BR", "AL", "BL" are ..→
