All dependencies are available from Anaconda Cloud:

conda install -c schrodinger pymol
conda install -c schrodinger pymol-psico
conda install -c rdkit rdkit
conda install -c bioconda csb

On Windows, replace the last line with:

pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/pypi/simple csb

Usage

mcsalign mobile, target [, mobile_state [, target_state
    [, cycles [, timeout [, method ]]]]]

Arguments

• mobile = str: atom selection of mobile object
• target = str: atom selection of target object
• mobile_state = int: object state of mobile selection {default: -1 = current state}
• target_state = int: object state of target selection {default: -1 = current state}
• cycles = int: number of weight-refinement iterations for weighted RMS fitting {default: 5}
• timeout = int: MCS search timeout in seconds {default: 10}
• method = indigo or rdkit {default: check availability}

Example

Align Cytochrome C and Hemoglobin based on their Heme moieties:

fetch 3zcf 4n8t, async=0
zoom /4n8t//A/HEM, animate=2, buffer=3

import psico.mcsalign
mcsalign /3zcf//A/HEC, /4n8t//A/HEM
