News & Updates New Script save_settings can dump all changed settings to a file Tips & Tricks Instructions for generating 3D PDFs using PyMOL. Wiki Update Wiki has been updated.

New Scripts Create objects for each molecule or chain in selection with split_object and split_chains New Script Rotkit: is a collection of usefull scripts to place your dye/molecule where you want. It includes a very handy, rotation around line, function. New Script Forster-distance-calculator: Can be used as a pymol-python shortcut to calculate the Förster distance between dyes from different companies. Useful, if the user have pymol installed, but not python. This script is meant as a tool to finding the right dyes, when labelling suitable positions for the site-directed cysteine mutants. See DisplacementMap. New Script propka: Fetches the pka values for your protein from the propka server. propka generates a pymol command file that make pka atoms, color and label them according to your protein. Inspection is made easy by grouping the pka atoms in the pymol menu. Older News See Older News.

Did you know... Fit Fit superimposes the model in the first selection on to the model in the second selection. Only matching atoms in both selections will be used for the fit.
