Did you know... Ribosome PyMOL Plugin Type PyMOL Plugin Download https://github.com/abelew/ribosome_pymol Author(s) abelew License GPLv2 Description A small plugin containing functions to make working with multi-pdb structures easier, most notably ribosomes. The menu options include a call-out to a csv file containing all (as of ~2012) the extant pdb entries with ribosomal structures. It includes functionality to color modified bases (pseudouridines and methyls) for those species I found referenced annotations.
