| The crystal structure of Pyrobaculum aerophilum (Pae) SurEα reveals a dimer in the asymmetric unit of a P3(1)21 cell. We want a simple ribbon diagram of the dimer, as viewed down the NCS 2-fold. | PaeSurE_simple_ribbons.pml [PyMOL script file with some descriptive comments] PaeSurE_dimer.pdb [PDB file in which SeMet's have been changed to MET, because I was too lazy to have PyMOL properly deal with METs] |

| The crystal structure
of Pyrobaculum
aerophilum
(Pae) SmAP1 reveals a
heptamer in the asymmetric unit of a C222(1) cell. A 14-mer is created
by one of the crystallographic 2-folds. We
want to display a ribbon diagram of the 14-mer, clearly illustrating the
surface area that's buried in the
heptamer···heptamer interface. |

| The crystal structure of Methanobacterium thermautotropicum (Mth) SmAP1 reveals a 14-mer in the asymmetric unit of a P2(1) cell. Several ligands (such as UMP, MPD, etc.) are bound to this 14-mer. We want to display a ribbon diagram of the 14-mer viewed down the 7-fold axis, illustrating the protein as ribbons and the ligands as color-coded CPK spheres. | MthSmAP1_ribbons_and_ligands.pml [PyMOL script file] mth_p21.pdb [PDB file for final, refined structure] |

| The crystal structure of Pyrobaculum aerophilum (Pae) SurEα reveals a dimer in the asymmetric unit of a P3(1)21 cell. We want a figure of two types of electron density, centered on Ser99 from chain 'B': 2Fo-Fc electron density and experimentally-phased (MAD) density maps. One PyMOL script produces both maps as separate panels (overlaying them in one panel is messy). | PaeSurE_densities_Ser99.pml [PyMOL script file with some descriptive comments] PaeSurE_fordensity.pdb [PDB file in which SeMet's have been changed to MET, because I was too lazy to have PyMOL properly deal with METs] dm_phex20_ncs.xplor [XPLOR map file calculated with experimental/MAD phases] map2fofc_nonds.xplor [XPLOR 2Fo-Fc map calculated from model phases] |

| The crystal structure of Mth SmAP1 reveals a 14-mer in the asymmetric unit of a P2(1) cell. Several ligands (such as UMP, MPD, etc.) are bound to this 14-mer. We want to display the 14-mer and one of its 14 MPD-binding sites, showing: (i) Mth SmAP1 as sticks; (ii) electron density for MPD and proximal SmAP1 residues; (iii) distances between MPD····protein contacts (e.g., H-bonds). | MthSmAP1_MPD_density.pml [PyMOL script file with some descriptive comments] mth_p21_ump.pdb [PDB file containing Mth 14-mer, waters, MPDs, UMPs, uridines, etc.] mth_map2fofc.xplor [XPLOR map file calculated with 2Fo-Fc coefficients] mth_mapfofc.xplor [XPLOR map file calculated with Fo-Fc coefficients] |

| The crystal structure of Pae SurEα reveals a dimer in the asymmetric unit of a P3(1)21 cell. We want to render one of the monomers as a ribbon diagram and make a movie of it spinning about the y-axis. This animation uses frames which are anti-aliased and ray-traced, so the size can get outta hand. | Icannotfindit.sorry [...but visit the PyMOL manual; movies are easy.] |
