Did you know... Find buried waters This script finds and turns a selection of waters determined to be buried (no solvent accessibility) in the original selection. If you prefer to define your own cutoff of "accessible" use the 2nd parameter. Usage find_buried_waters [ sele [, cutoff [, state ]]] Script <source lang="python"> from pymol import cmd def find_buried_waters(sele='all', cutoff=-1, state=1, quiet=1, _self=cmd): DESCRIPTION Finds and turns a selection of waters determined to be buried (no solvent accessibility) in the original selection. ARGUMENTS sele = string: atom selection {default: all} cutoff = float: threshold on what one considers an "exposed" atom (in A**2) {default: surface_residue_cutoff} state = int: object state {default: 1} cutoff, state, quiet = float(cutoff), int(state), int(quiet) tmpObj=_self.get_unused_name("__tmp") _self.create(tmpObj, sele, state, 1, zoom=0) _self.set("dot_solvent", 1, tmpObj); _self.get_area(tmpObj, state=1, load_b=1) if cutoff < 0: ..→
