PyMOL v1.8.0.0 Notes

Release Date: Nov-18-2015

Important: The default of the ignore_case setting was changed to on in 1.8.0.0, and restored to off in 1.8.0.5. The problem will be addressed with a new ignore_case_chain setting in 1.8.2. See also https://sourceforge.net/p/pymol/mailman/message/34815599/

New Features

  • (mm)CIF:
    • add support for discrete=1 loading of CIF files
    • improve multi-model loading (inhomogenious models, pdb_honor_model_number support)
    • support loading multiple objects (“data_” blocks) from one CIF file (multiplex != 0)
    • support _symmetry_equiv.pos_as_xyz, _space_group_symop.operation_xyz
    • set cartoon_trace_atoms and ribbon_trace_atoms for CA-only models
    • load biological unit if assembly setting is set
    • Ignore “auth” identifiers with cif_use_auth=off (default: on)
    • Reimplement reading full sequence from mmCIF (fill in missing CA atoms for polypeptides). Only with cif_use_auth=off. Uses _entity_poly_seq.
    • Improve connect_mode=4 support and performance: Bonding for most common residue types provided in $PYMOL_DATA/chem_comp_bond-top100.cif. Other types are downloaded on the fly from PDBeChem.
    • read metalc and disulf bonds
  • New file formats:
    • PDBQT
    • Basic support for PDBML (.xml and .xml.gz extensions)
    • Basic support for CML
  • fetch: type=cc downloads from PDBeChem (3-letter codes)
  • Render zero-order bonds as dashed lines
  • Calculate residue exposure (relative solvent accessible surface area per residue) with get_sasa_relative or from the menu: A > compute > surface area > per residue
  • protein-protein interface preset: A > preset > protein interface

Refactoring

  • Eliminate more redundancy in PSE files (use pse_export_version for compatibility with older PyMOL versions)
  • MAE: reimplemented in C++, improves loading times for .mae files
  • Improve picking performance
  • mutagenesis wizard: improve “apply” performance

PyMOL API

  • cmd.set_key() decorator support (@cmd.set_key)
  • cmd.get_object_ttt()

Settings

  • changed default: ignore_case=off. This has major implications for all scripts which are agnostic about identifier case in selection expressions. E.g. “select foo, chain a” won't work for chain A.
  • new setting: assembly. Load assembly instead of ASU from mmCIF file
  • new setting: cif_use_auth. Controls whether mmCIF “auth” identifiers are used or not (on by
  • new setting: cif_keepinmemory. Experimental, use with pymol.querying.cif_get_array
  • new setting: pse_binary_dump. Experimental, memory efficient and fast PyMOL session file (PSE) export.
  • changed default: scene_buttons=on
  • normalize_ccp4_maps=2 → use mean and stdev from file header
  • changed default: scene_buttons=on. Show scene buttons by default
  • changed default: alignment_as_cylinders=off.

Misc

  • Symmetry/Cell loading: accept alpha=beta=gamma=0.0, assume orthogonal cell (alpha=beta=gamma=90.0)
  • Set protons for unknown atoms to -1 instead of 0 (0 is interpreted as lonepair)
  • Properties:
    • alter: derive property type from python type
    • alter: list(p) → list of property names
  • real-time ray_transparency_oblique with shaders
  • keep IDs when creating new object from selection (restore pre-1.4 behavior)
  • updated bundled Schrödinger library for atom typing and stereochemistry (text_type and stereo labeling)
  • Tcl/Tk Menus:
    • Radiobuttons for all setting switches
    • Feedback to console when changing a setting
    • Simple font size dialog (Setting > GUI Font Size)

Mobile PyMOL

  • Chromadepth: The Stereo 3D button is now a 3-state toggle button (Off / Anaglyph / Chromadepth)

Bug Fixes

  • fixes: stick and sphere rendering issues on OS X with ATI Radeon R9 graphics cards (See 1.7.6 known issues)
  • fix split_states with non-unique state titles
  • support cartoon_trace_atoms for beta-sheets
  • alignment object ray tracing
  • alignment with atoms w/o coords in a state
  • rotate/translate commands with static_singletons and state > 1
  • MacPyMOL freezes after being minimized
