Pymol Commands • Downloading Pymol to Download Pymol, Go to Or Google ‘Pymol’ Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri Appendix 1: Pymol Commands • Downloading Pymol To download Pymol, go to www.pymol.org or Google ‘Pymol’. The program is called Pymol. Go to "products" tab. Then the "Pymol" link. Then look for "educational subscriptions" link or go directly via http://www.pymol.org/educational . Then look for the words "register for educational-use-only pymol" and the associated "register here" link. Fill out an agreement that specifies academic use, then you get a code that allows FREE downloading of the program. • Downloading a pdb file Go to www.rcsb.org or Google ‘pdb’. At the pdb website, type into the search bar at the top your assigned coordinates of “for example, 1C83”. On the left side of the page are several drop-down menus. The second from the top is “Download Files”. Click on this and it will drop down some options. Click on “PDB text” and save the file where you can easily find it. • Opening a pdb file In Pymol, open a file by clicking File -> Open… Locate and click on the pdb file you downloaded from the web. You should see the structure in the viewer of Pymol. • Using the mouse To get the most out of Pymol, a three-button mouse is required. The scroll wheel can be used as a button by clicking and holding. Try out the mouse commands as detailed below on your newly loaded protein structure. On a single button laptop (Mac), you can rotate the protein simply by holding down the button and sliding your finger on the track-pad. You can center the protein in the window using option-click and you can zoom using control-click. You change the size of the “slice” that you are viewing with control-shift-click. Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri Std Commands: “reset” (double click on image window, “reset” on menu, centers protein in window) select all, then type: “center” (centers structure in window) hide all show cartoon show side chain, resi 215 Setting→Cartoon→Side Chain Helper color gray90 color atom (gives color by atom identity) show spheres, resi 301 color white, resi 301 color gold, resi 200-221 hide everything, resi 301 zoom: option, click, slide on trackpad move x/y on page: control, click, slide on trackpad Rendering and Saving: Click on the “Ray” button (in the top right corner of the Pymol interface). It will take a few seconds to render. To save the snapshot (select: File → Save Image) Rock: Click “rock” button in the upper right corner of the user interface. Appendix 2. Pymol “Tricks” • Zoom resi X-X or zoom resi X (zooms to a section of the protein) • Orient (resets the view to “normal”) • Center the image: center • If the center of rotation seems "off" try these things: middle click on the desired rotation center. You can also pull down the action menu of one of the ligands or crossclusters and click "center". JJT. • Under the menu: Settings → Cartoon → Fancy Helices you can get cool looking tubular edges to the helices. A nice touch. • Altering the properties of individual atoms in the structure: Control click… a menu appears on top of the atom. In this menu, under heading of “atom” you can color, show, label, etc. • Measuring distances in the structure. Under the Wizard menu, select “measurement”. Then click sequentially on the two atoms of interest. A yellow “ruler” appears between them. This function stays on until you click “done” in the Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri measure window on the right side of the GUI. You can hide the distance label by PyMOL>hide labels • Selecting a set of residues: select aas, resn cys • or select aas, resn cys + phe • or, in a DNA duplex select aas, resn a + g •• To name a selection, for example: set_name sele, Alanines • Selecting all carbons: sele symbol c (coloring carbons gray helps me because I can’t see yellow sulfurs against the green default color that Pymol uses for carbons) • Select all Gly: sele resn gly • Selecting a set of residues: sele resi 1-10 • or: sele resi 1+5+7 • Selecting all α and β carbons: sele name ca+cb • Selecting helices, sheets, loops: sele ss h OR sele ss s OR sele ss “” • One could also color helices, sheets, and loops, e.g.: color purple, ss h • Hide solvent: hide (solvent) • Change background color to white: bg_color white • Electrostatic potential surface: On the right menu of objects and selections (the GUI), for example: under the “A” heading for 1C83_PTP1B_ligan, go to “generate” then “vacuum electrostatics” then “protein contact potential (local)”. • Add hydrogens to protein: h_add 1C83 • You can make a surface view partially transparent (0-1) so that you can see the cartoon beneath: show surface THEN type: set tranparency=0.5 (0.1 is less transparent and 0.9 is more transparent). • Spheres can also be made transparent (0-1): set sphere_transparency=0.7 • Size of spheres can also be changed (0-1): set sphere_scale=0.5 (I’m not sure what the default size is… just have to play around with this) • The extent of depth-cued fog (0-1) is controlled by: set fog=0.5 (In my experience this effect is only striking when the background is white. Again, I’m not sure what the default setting is – zero is less foggy, one is more foggy). Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri • The use of antialias reportedly greatly affects the quality of the image after ray- tracing (and the also the time that rendering will require). Antialias is either “on” or “off”. Set antialias=0 or 1 (before clicking “ray”). • Structural alignment of two homologous proteins: In this example, you are going to align PH acylphosphatase (1w2i) and bovine acylphosphatase (2ACY). File -> Open -> 1w2i_nowat.pdb File -> Open -> 2ACY.pdb Pymol> align 1w2i_nowat, 2ACY you should see the following in the text window: ExecutiveAlign: 446 atoms aligned ExecutiveRMS: 23 atoms rejected during cycle 1 (RMS=0.86) ExecutiveRMS: 20 atoms rejected during cycle 2 (RMS=0.63) Executive RMS = 0.541 (403 to 403 atoms) In this case, the RMSD is 0.541 Å More often, people report Ca RMSD values which can be determined by: Pymol>align 1w2i_nowat and name ca, 2ACY and name ca • How to handle structures that are dimeric, trimeric, etc. Each subunit usually has a chain identifier a, b, c… Often it might be desirable to view just one subunit Type: - hide everything, all - show cartoon, chain a or - show cartoon, chain a - hide everything, not chain a or -hide everything, all -show cartoon, chain a show sticks, chain a and resi 213-216 if, during manipulation of the protein, things on the “invisible” subunits show up, just type “hide everything, not chain a” again. ((Alternatively, it might be preferable to open the .pdb file using a program like TextEdit on the Mac. Then, simply delete the coordinates for one or more of the monomers)). Or….. • How about when there are two proteins shown in the unit cell, but I only want to look at one (and get rid of the other)? – under “display” menu select “sequence on”. A bar will appear above the structure showing the amino acid sequence of all protein chains in the window. Use option-shift to select all aa for one chain. Then on the right for the (sele) go to the A (actions) menu and select “remove atoms”. Second protein… gone! Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri • Pymol has no ball-and-stick mode; however, it can be simulated with a combination of spheres and sticks. >show spheres >show sticks >set sphere_scale, 0.3 (0.15, for small little knobs) >set stick_radius, 0.2 sticks and balls will be the same color. If different colors are desired, this can be achieved by creating separate objects for each. • How do I crank-up the glossiness of rendered atoms? Type–> set spec_power = 200 (# in range 20 – 250) And–> set spec_refl=1.5 (# in range 1.0 - 2.0) Note that the shadow options in the Display menu of the external GUI may modify these parameters. • Explore the “Actions” menu. For example: Locate the molecule name you loaded in the right hand menu bar, On the same line as your molecule, click on A (Actions) -> preset -> pretty • Showing entire structure when only “half” of the structure is shown due to symmetry. (Often in DNA structures). -click on A (actions) -> generate -> symmetry mates -> within 5 A. Then go to the all heading and “hide all”… then one-by-one show the selections until you find the pair in which you are interested. • Generating “symmetry pairs” in a structure (longer explaination of the topic above). Many DNA structures will show only one strand of the duplex because the structure is symmetrical. View the molecule in cartoon format. Pymol can use the symmetry information (indicated in the text file you downloaded) to generate the symmetry related molecules. - Click on A (actions) -> generate -> symmetry mates -> within 5 Å Zoom out a bit and you will see that Pymol generated quite a number of neighboring molecules that are all present in the crystal and related by crystallographic symmetry. I have colored the original molecule differently from the rest using the color boxes on the right side of the molecule menu. You can make the same change to all Pymol tips and tricks Gates, Kent S. Univ of Missouri molecules by operating on the top “all” line.

  • Real-Time Pymol Visualization for Rosetta and Pyrosetta
    Real-Time PyMOL Visualization for Rosetta and PyRosetta Evan H. Baugh1, Sergey Lyskov1, Brian D. Weitzner1, Jeffrey J. Gray1,2* 1 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America, 2 Program in Molecular Biophysics, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America Abstract Computational structure prediction and design of proteins and protein-protein complexes have long been inaccessible to those not directly involved in the field. A key missing component has been the ability to visualize the progress of calculations to better understand them. Rosetta is one simulation suite that would benefit from a robust real-time visualization solution. Several tools exist for the sole purpose of visualizing biomolecules; one of the most popular tools, PyMOL (Schro¨dinger), is a powerful, highly extensible, user friendly, and attractive package. Integrating Rosetta and PyMOL directly has many technical and logistical obstacles inhibiting usage. To circumvent these issues, we developed a novel solution based on transmitting biomolecular structure and energy information via UDP sockets. Rosetta and PyMOL run as separate processes, thereby avoiding many technical obstacles while visualizing information on-demand in real-time. When Rosetta detects changes in the structure of a protein, new coordinates are sent over a UDP network socket to a PyMOL instance running a UDP socket listener. PyMOL then interprets and displays the molecule. This implementation also allows remote execution of Rosetta. When combined with PyRosetta, this visualization solution provides an interactive environment for protein structure prediction and design.

  • Instructions on Making Pdf Files Containing 3D
    Detailed Instructions for Creating an Embedded Virtual 3-D Image of a Molecule Creating the documents with embedded virtual three-dimensional images may be done fairly easily by repeating the following procedures. Once you have embedded your first image, the use of that image is limited only by your imagination. The following instructions are written in extreme detail with annotated screen shots of the four programs you will use throughout for clarification. Once you are familiar with the procedure embedding a structure of interest should take less than 20 min., limited only by the speed with which you can click a mouse. In practice most of our embedded 3-D images have been created by our undergraduate student collaborators. Step 1. Creating a 2-D image in ChemSketch Using ACD ChemSketch 11.0 Freeware (http://www.acdlabs.com/download/chemsk_download.html ) a two dimensional structure may be drawn as per your specific need (see Figure 1). Once the molecule is drawn, optimized it by clicking the 3-D optimization button then save as an MDL molfile (*.mol). Figure 1: A screen shot of acetone drawn with ChemSketch after 3-D optimization. Step 2. Converting the *.mol file to a *.pdb file using Open Babel The file can now be converted from a .mol file to a .pdb file, Protein Data Bank format, to be properly accessed with the Adobe Acrobat 3D Toolkit 8.1.0. The file conversion is done using Open Babel Graphical User Interface v2.2.0 (openbabel.sourceforge.net) under default settings. Step by step instructions: A.

  • Getting Started in Jmol
    Getting Started in Jmol Part of the Jmol Training Guide from the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling Interactive version available at http://cbm.msoe.edu/teachingResources/jmol/jmolTraining/started.html Introduction Physical models of proteins are powerful tools that can be used synergistically with computer visualizations to explore protein structure and function. Although it is interesting to explore models and visualizations created by others, it is much more engaging to create your own! At the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling we use the molecular visualization program Jmol to explore protein and molecular structures in fully interactive 3-dimensional displays. Jmol a free, open source molecular visualization program used by students, educators and researchers internationally. The Jmol Training Guide from the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling will provide the tools needed to create molecular renderings, physical models using 3-D printing technologies, as well as Jmol animations for online tutorials or electronic posters. Examples of Proteins in Jmol Jmol allows users to rotate proteins and molecular structures in a fully interactive 3-dimensional display. Some sample proteins designed with Jmol are shown to the right. Hemoglobin Proteins Insulin Proteins Green Fluorescent safely carry oxygen in the help regulate sugar in Proteins create blood. the bloodstream. bioluminescence in animals like jellyfish. Downloading Jmol Jmol Can be Used in Two Ways: 1. As an independent program on a desktop - Jmol can be downloaded to run on your desktop like any other program. It uses a Java platform and therefore functions equally well in a PC or Mac environment. 2. As a web application - Jmol has a web-based version (oftern refered to as "JSmol") that runs on a JavaScript platform and therefore functions equally well on all HTML5 compatible browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome.

As long as the molecule is correctly designed and modeled, there is no need to assemble and glue the components after printing—they are printed inherently as mechanically interlocked molecules. We present the preparation of a cyanostar- based [3]rotaxane as an example. A pair of sandwiched cyanostars S1 (CS ) derived from the crystal structure was "cleaned up" in the molecular computation software Spartan ʹ10, i.e. disordered atoms were removed. A linear molecule was created and threaded through the cavity of two cyanostars (Figure S1a).
