Did you know...
PDB Web Services Script == Overview == A short snippet of code utilizing the new PDB Web Services. Notes: See PDB Web Services You need SOAP for Python installed The sequence of a chain fetched from the PDB does not always equal the sequence of a chain fetched from the PDB Web Services. I believe the PDB Web Services has the complete biological chain, not just what's in the structure. The offset is a hack; it uses a trick in PyMOL and may not be robust at all. Use at your own caution. The Code <source lang="python"> import pymol from pymol import stored, cmd import SOAPpy define a mapping from three letters to one Thanks to whomever posted this on the PyMOLWiki: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Label one_letter ={'VAL':'V', 'ILE':'I', 'LEU':'L', 'GLU':'E', 'GLN':'Q', \ 'ASP':'D', 'ASN':'N', 'HIS':'H', 'TRP':'W', 'PHE':'F', 'TYR':'Y', \ 'ARG':'R', 'LYS':'K', 'SER':'S', 'THR':'T', 'MET':'M', 'ALA':'A', \ 'GLY':'G', 'PRO':'P', 'CYS':'C'} ..→
