AddRibbon - add ribbons (schematic drawing)SYNOPSIS
AddRibbonDESCRIPTION
Create a schematic drawing with ribbons. The ribbons will go through the currently selected atoms, this will normally be all CA atoms in a protein.
If ribbons for helices and sheets are desired, certain properties of the residues must be set to give the necessary secondary structure information. The following properties are used:
helix
helix1, helix2,...
sheet
sheet1, sheet2,...
strand1_1, strand1_2,...
These properties are set when a PDB file containing
secondary structure information (HELIX and SHEET
records) is read, or they can be calculated with the
CalcSecondary command. They can also be set/modified
using the DefPropRes command, a more convenient way
for modifying the result of CalcSecondary is often to
use the WriteSecondary command.
For sheets, the neighbour of the residues should be set with the SetNeigh command if the secondary structure was not read from a PDB file or calculated with CalcSecondary.
The created primitives will have exactly one of the following properties set:
helix
sheet
coil
and for helix and sheet the numbered one from the
residue (helix1,...) is also copied.
In addition, all created primitives have the property "ribbon".
