Translate And Measure To use, you would call it like : print translateAndMeasure("molA", "molB", [1,0,0], 4) which would print "overlap" if any of the atoms in molA or molB were within 4 Angstrom after translating by 1 along X. Of course, this could be improved to report exactly which atoms were overlapping, or to make distance objects (using cmd.distance) to show them. <source lang="python"> def translateAndMeasure(selection, other, translationVector, cutoff): cmd.translate(translationVector, selection) return checkDistances(selection, other, cutoff) def checkDistances(moleculeA, moleculeB, cutoff): ids_A = getIds(moleculeA) ids_B = getIds(moleculeB) for idA in ids_A: for idB in idsB: d = distance(moleculeA, idA, moleculeB, idB) if d > cutoff: return "overlap" return "no overlap" def distance(a, idA, b, idB): atomA = "%s and id %s" % (a, idA) atomB = "%s and id %s" % (b, idB) return cmd.get_distance(atomA, atomB) def getIds(selection): my_dict ..→
