Zero residues == OVERVIEW == This script will renumber all the residues such that the first one is numbered 0. This is often helpful when dealing with alignments. Ordering from Sequence End If you want to change numbering based off the last residue's number in the sequence, just replace first in the code with last. EXAMPLE zero_residues 1AFK zero_residues * # make the first residue's number, 30. zero_residues 1AFK, 30 INSTALL Copy the source code below, to "zero_residues.py" and then simply run the file. The command, "zero_residues" will now be defined and can be used as in the examples above. CODE <source lang="python"> from pymol import cmd, stored def zero_residues(sel1,offset=0,chains=0): """ DESCRIPTION Renumbers the residues so that the first one is zero, or offset USAGE zero_residues selection [, offset [, chains ]] EXAMPLES zero_residues protName # first residue is 0 zero_residues protName, 5 # first residue is 5 ..→
