Fetch

Overview

Fetch retrieves a protein structure from the PDB and loads it into PyMOL. The PDB file is saved in the current working directory for PyMOL.

Syntax

fetch PDB_ID [ ID2...IDN ] [, async = [0,1] ]

To specify more than one PDB, just add its ID to the command line (without adding spaces).

Example

# fetch them singly
fetch 1kao
fetch 1ctq

# fetch them at once
fetch 1kao 1ctq

# fetch them at once synchronously
fetch 1kao 1ctq, async=0
