Helicity check helicity_check shows the evolution of O—N distances over an amino acid sequence See for further info: "Models for the 3(10)-helix/coil, pi-helix/coil, and alpha-helix/3(10)-helix/coil transitions in isolated peptides". Protein Sci ROHL and DOIG 5 (8) 1687. Uses: in the pymol console: >run pymol_helicity_check.py ----> select some consecutive amino acids - this is nicely done with the Display->Sequence tool >helicity_check() installing helicity_check copy pymol_helicity_check.py in $PYMOL_INSTALL_DIR/modules/pmg_tk/startup launch Pymol: you now have a new option in the Plugin menu helicity_check uses gnuplot to display its results. As a consequence gnuplot needs to be installed. This plugin was tested on linux only, it might need some modifications to run on other OSes. (hints: launching gnuplot and path to dumpfile) <source lang="python"> pymol_helicity_check.py Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Julien ..→
