Viewing the PDB file #35

Hi, I was wondering how you were able to generate the figures in the paper, specifically figure 3? I've tried using the PDB file generated directly in some protein structure viewing programs (PyMol, Chimera) but so far it seems that they either crash, don't show anything, or only show the atoms as balls. Any suggestions of programs to use, or how to modify the PDB file to best achieve the ribbon model?

Hi @aakashsur Sorry I missed your issue… I'm using mayavi to plot the 3D structures. It's a 3D visualization tool in Python. It does require a bit of scripting to get those out, but IMO it's really worth investing a bit of time to learn this library. I hope that helps!
