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.
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.
There are no presets for nucleic acids under the A pulldown in the internal GUI to the right. The CR shortcut provides a ribbon cartoon with filled rings. The nucleotides are colored by base sequence.
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.
Crystal packing diagrams are particularly relevant to the stacking of double helices, which can stack end-on-end.
Example of a coordinated metal. Use of the pearl effect with the radius of the opaque sphere set to 0.25. Use the code revealed with help NAL as a template.
