To begin with, I will reproduce the figure that appears on the September 2000 entry of MotM, corresponding to hen egg white lysozyme (PDB ID: 2LYZ).įirst load the structure of 2LYZ (for example by using fetch 2lyz),

At first I just wanted to get an idea of how to do some figures with Goodsell’s style, but it became kind of an obsession. However, I took some ideas from them and managed to develop two methods using PyMOL. There are several tutorials and tools to emulate his rendering style 1, but none of these fully convince me. To generate the figures in MoTM Goodsell uses some software he developed (apparently in Fortran, according to this German link). However, reproducing the way he renders molecules is not a straightforward task. Like many people, I like the unique style in which David Goodsell illustrates the structures of the Molecule of the Month (MotM) section in the Protein Data Bank. In particular, I am fascinated by the various ways of representing three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, either by computer graphics, animations, or tangible, physical models. cmd file, and modify it.Versión en español: Aplicando ingeniería reversa a David Goodsell DecemReverse engineering David Goodsell Introductionįor some time I have been interested in the relationship between art and structural biology. mkdir %HOMEPATH%\pymol Then make sure, PyMOL starts here, when you open the shortcut.
