The PyMOLWiki script library houses many useful scripts. Here you will find premade scripts that will extend the power of PyMOL.

The scripts are now categorized based on their function. Someone may have added a script but not listed it on this page, therefore please see the autogenerated list of scripts at the bottom of this page.

Please post any script requests to this page's discussion page. Who knows, someone might have already written it or would be willing to write it.

Depositing Scripts

Please create a new page for your script. Once you've done that, please add it to the Script_Library Category and any subcategories appropriate for the script. For example, if you have a script that performs some geometrical action upon various objects or selections you can then add the subcategories of ObjectsAndSelections_SL and also MathGeometry_SL. The convention (which might change is CategoryName_SL (where indicates a subcategory of the ScriptLibrary).

Structural Biology

Third Party

  • Rasmolify -- A work in progress - a script to map Rasmol commands onto the equivalent PyMOL commands.
  • WFMesh -- Imports wavefront object mesh files; Starwars as an example!
  • Transform_odb -- Transform a selection of an existing object and output as a new object. The transformation matrix is read from an "O"-style tranformation matrix file (.odb) written by "O" or by any of the Uppsala Software Factory programs (from Gerard Klegweit) such as LSQMAN.

Biochemical Scripts

  • Show aromatics -- This script will display a backbone "worm" for your protein, with all of the sidechains for aromatic residues displayed as green "sticks". Usage: Save this as "show_aromatics.pml", load your protein in PyMOL, and run the script (select "Run" from the "File" menu). (PyMOL script; TStout)
  • Show hydrophobics -- This script will display a backbone "worm" for your protein, with all of the sidechains for hydrophobic residues displayed as orange "sticks". Usage: Same as "show aromatics". (PyMOL script; TStout)
  • Show charged -- This script will display a backbone "worm" for your protein, with all of the sidechains for charged residues displayed as red (negative) or blue (posititve) "sticks". Usage: Same as "show aromatics". (PyMOL script; TStout)
  • Show hydrophilic -- This script will display a backbone "worm" for your protein, with all of the sidechains for hydrophilic residues displayed as green "sticks". Usage: Same as "show aromatics". (PyMOL script; TStout)
  • pucker -- Calculates the sugar pucker information for a given selection
  • resicolor -- Colors proteins according to residue type.
  • createAtom -- Make an atom at a distance along the line of a bond.

Math/Geometry/CGO

  • Perp Maker -- Creates a perpendicular plane through the center of your protein with respect to the camera's current position. (If you translate the protein towards the camera a bit, you get a nice surface, sometimes.) A stupid little script I wrote in response to a request a few months ago (and it doesn't even conform to the request!) Load a protein, run the script (read the documentation in the script). (Jason Vertrees/Tree)
  • Axes -- Creates a 3D-CGO object that shows the three coordinate axes.
  • Symmetry Axis -- Draw a 3D-CGO line given a point and a direction.
  • CGO Text -- Creates a 3D-CGO text object.
  • Slerpy -- Pymol command extensions for key frame animation movie making.
  • Plane Wizard -- Wizard to draw planes between three picked points.
  • Bounding Box -- Create a bounding box around a selection (Python script; requires numarray and Scientific; gilleain)
  • Ellipsoid -- Create callback object (opengl) ellipsoids. (Python script; gilleain)
  • TransformSelectionByCameraView -- Transforms the selection by the camera view.
  • modevectors -- A wonderful script that allows you to draw highly customizable vectors between two states (NMA, TMD, etc)
  • Center Of Mass -- Given a selection of atoms (of equal weight) - Calculates the center of mass and represents it with a CGO sphere
