pymolshortcuts4rna

This is the repository for pymolschortucts4rna.py. The shortcuts are several letters mapped to a Python function that executes one to many lines of code. They function like bash aliases or the

Above is the PDF of the slides from my presentation at the 2019 CornBelt Regional RNA Symposium at the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO. Many thanks go to Professors Brenda Peculis and Frank Schmidt for organizing and hosting this fantastic meeting. The poster session was one of the most enjoyable that I have ever experienced. A paper about this project is in the works.

Examples

The shortcut is listed on the top. Two shortcuts are combined by using a semicolon. The U8 shortcut retrieves and orients the biological unit of PDB entry 3nd3.

U8;CR: filled rings colored by sequence.

The internal GUI to the right does not have presets for nucleic acids under the A pulldown. The CR shortcut provides a ribbon cartoon with filled rings. The nucleotides are colored by base sequence.

U8CR

FR: filled rings colored by element and BW: black and white cartoon for grayscale figures

The FR shortcut generates filled rings colored by atomic elements. The BW shortcut renders a black-and-white cartoon, which is useful when using color would be expensive or when used with a colored ligand to emphasize the ligand.

U8FRBW

Ambient occlusion variants.

AOAOBWAOD

Shortcuts for generating arrays of unit cells filled with symmetry mates.

Crystal packing diagrams are particularly relevant to the stacking of double helices, which can stack end-on-end.

xtalPacking

Example of a stacking figure. Use the code revealed with help BST as a template.

BST

Example of a coordinated metal. Use the pearl effect with the radius of the opaque sphere set to 0.25. Use the code revealed with help NAL as a template.
