Pymol settings

For rendering proteins in Pymol, I usually use the following settings:

• color lightblue, (name CA)
• color red, ss h
• color blue, ss s
• color wheat, ss l+
• viewport 600,450
• set ray_trace_frames = 0
• set cache_frames = 1
• set cartoon_fancy_helices = 1

Animating proteins is useful to gain an idea of the 3D structure. To render the movie of the protein, I then add:

• mset 1 x50
• util.mroll(1,50,1)
• mplay

Then, to save the movie as a series of sequential png files:

• mpng mov

Finally, I need to convert the png to an animated GIF using the Linux convert command:

• convert -loop 0 mov*.png out.gif
