Did you know... Rigimol.morph The morph command is an incentive PyMOL feature (not available in open-source version). Given a two-state object, morph can create an interpolated trajectory from the first to the second conformation. Notice: There is a new morph command in PyMOL 1.6 Usage morph source, target [, first [, last [, refinement [, async [, steps ]]]]] Arguments source = string: name of two-state input object target = string: name of output object to create first = int: start state of source {default: 1} last = int: end state of source {default: 2} refinement = int: number of sculpting refinement cycles to clean distorted intermediates {default: 10} steps = int: number of states for target object {default: 30} Warning: arguments first, last and steps new in PyMOL 1.5 (up to 1.4 they are always at default values) Example <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> get open and closed conformation of adenylate kinase fetch 1ake 4ake, async=0 make two state object align 1ake and chain A, 4ake and chain A, ..→
