This file contains descriptions of changes of new PyMod 3 releases.
- Added the possibility to import results from HH-suite output files (HHR and A3M).
- Added compatibility for pyside2 (thanks to Thomas Holder).
- Fixed the requirements for fully compatible PyMOL versions (see the README.md file).
- Fixed the PDB fetching functionality (updated to HTTPS urls on RCSB).
- Updated the PyMod GUI using PyQt5.
- Homology modeling using MODELLER. Implemented various changes, some of them are:
- Customize the optimization schedule of MODELLER.
- Customize the MODELLER objective function terms.
- Added the GA341 scoring function for model evaluation.
- When building oligomeric models, added the SOAP-PP scoring function for interfaces evaluation.
- Added sortable tables for model evaluation.
- Added the possibility to use parallel jobs when building multiple models.
- Solved a series of bugs which did not allow to use some PDB structures as templates.
- Added the possibility to perform loop modeling (with MODELLER) for elements that have a 3D structure loaded in PyMod/PyMOL.
- Added the SCR_FIND protocol (for analyzing the conservation in multiple structural alignments).
- Added the possibility to use the following HMMER programs:
- phmmer, jackhmmer, hmmsearch (for searching protein sequence databases)
- hmmscan (for searching profile HMM databases). hmmscan can be used as a tool to assign Pfam domain families.
- Added an easy-to-use dialog to install all PyMod external tools.
- Added an easy-to-use dialog to update the sequence databases for the external tools of PyMod.
- Added a contact/distance map viewer feature.
- Added a series of other small functionalities and fixes (please refer to the updated PyMod manual for a full list of them).
- Introduced a series of fixes to add compatibility to PyMOL 2.0.
- Fixed a bug that changed the atom order of structures when performing CE alignments with PyMOL.
- When coloring structures by residue properties, all atom types of a residue are now colored with the same color, allowing better visualization of surfaces.
- Added back the possibility to use the NCBI QBLAST server to perform a BLAST search after the NCBI switched its services to the HTTPS protocol.
- Added the possibility to save and load PyMod projects.
