Where's My Dimer? Symmetry Mates in PyMOL

[@olo567]

This is a super useful feature, especially if there could be a symmetry contact that is more interesting than the authors realized! If its already on the PDB though as the 'biological assembly' you can fetch it into pymol with 'fetch 1cts, type=pdb1, multiplex=1' in 1 step!

Hey there! This is fantastic-I love when I put something out there and learn something new. Thank you very much!

This code loads the dimer as two separate objects, so the alignment step didn't work great for me (you have to align one chain at a time, I believe). So, I think it's still useful to copy the chains into one object and then perform the alignment. Thank you again! This is a real timesaver.

This tutorial is a life-saver thank you sooo much!

[@user-ud3if3gv4y]

Perfect, always asked myself how to do it in an easy manner!

Thank you this tutorial is a lifesaver!!!

Thank you so much for this video! :) Very helpful and it saved me a lot of trouble

[@manojjain1422]

Great video!! Your channel is actually helping me A LOT in this pandemic for my studies! Thankss!!! also just subbed too :))

Thanks for watching, and taking the time to leave me a comment! Love to hear this!

Hi, after following your instructions, some proteins 3d structure generate output with overlap structure, but some other 3d structure do not have this problem and success to make the dimer symmetry. Could you please give me the suggestion on how to resolve the overlap structure?

First of all, I love this! Second of all--could I hack this to model polymers like f-actin in Pymol? Or should I just stick to brute forcing it by rotating, translating and duplicating a few dozen times?

[@MolecularMemory]

I haven't thought about using it in this way, so I'm not sure! Are you duplicating the structure PyMOL or in your animation program? I wonder if morps (which might be an incentive feature) may be helpful to you.

Can you make a complete docking for Maceocycles?

[@crystalpeng4485]

Very useful! Thank you so much!!

Hi there! I wonder if you would be interested in speaking at an event my university is going to hold in connection with the UK Biochemical Society for the students. I have always found your pymol videos to be extremely well explained and clear! please reply if this is something you'd be interested in. Best, Will

YAY! Another MM post.

Have you worked, at all, with gromacs?

[@MolecularMemory]

I have not! I'll need to check this out. :)
