Change the line in the main body to the directory you want your files to go to. Save the above file with a. That's it! If you're doing more bioinformatics-related things, I highly suggest you learn Python. The Python docs and Think Python are both good places to start. Carlos Rodrigues Carlos Rodrigues 63 6 6 bronze badges. How would you keep the secondary structures in the chain files?
This might help biopython. Why write your own parser for a complex file format when there are plenty of already existing parsers?
Compression is handled automatically, among other features. See the final paragraph of my answer. I tried your code. I don't need all chains from pdb files.
I have mentioned the chain Id in the text file. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. What happened? To undo this action, simply select S how — nonbonded. You can try turning the molecule around using the mouse to view it from different angles. If you are interested in seeing the trace of the polypeptide string in order to get an idea of the fold of the protein the tertiary structure , it is better to view the molecule in a more simple representation, where not all the atoms are shown.
Try showing the molecule in a cartoon representation: S how — As — Cartoon. Color the molecule by secondary structure: C olor — by ss — choose a color scheme. This makes it easy to see the fold. As you saw earlier, there are several sulfate ions in this structure. In order to view them, create an object containing the sulfates by entering the following command at the GUI command line: create sulfate, resn XXX where XXX is the residue name of the sulfate ions you found this earlier when you looked at the PDB file.
As shown in Fig. Figure 3. The active site in RGAE. By looking at the sulfate ions in your Viewer window, try to find the active site in the molecule, and identify the three active site residues. Hint: View the 1K7C object in ribbon representation colored by element and show amino acid side chains shown as lines. In the example above, the selected residue is threonine Thr 10 in chain A in molecule 1K7C.
Q6 The active site residues are: Ser , His and Asp. Does this correspond to the information you wrote down earlier from the SwissProt entry? Proteins exhibiting the same fold may occasionally have similar function, especially in the case of enzymes. However, when the proteins have reached the same fold by convergent evolution or diverged a very long time ago , such similarities are not always obvious from sequence comparisons alone.

Combined with scripting, it is a powerful option for automating tasks and making intricate sets of changes. But, it's complex, and page upon page of PyMOL documentation cover these commands, so we're going to ignore them as much as possible. Although this guide may include some text commands and links to more advanced documentation, they're purely optional and meant to be informative.
PyMOL is great for casual visualization of biological molecules. In this example, a PDB file describing a protein is loaded and its style and color are tweaked. So, now what? Good question. PyMOL is a powerful program, and everyone uses it for something different. The remainder of this guide is devoted to common tasks that come in handy.
You've found the perfect view, and you'd like to Save it? Tip: Using the ray command before saving an image will create a higher quality version with shadows, etc. This can take time, depending on the size of the image and speed of the computer, but the images created after ray tracing are usually spectacular.
However, the ray tracing disappears if the view is changed in any way. Sometimes it might be useful to select part of an object and modify it directly; for example, selecting active-site residues in a protein to highlight them in another color.
