Question

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to add an acetyl group to lysine residue in a protein in pymol (academic version)? The academic version of pymol does not have plugin option.

Thanks,

Elmira

Then, in the plugin, we can choose PyTMs to add acetyl group to our selected lysine: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Pytms
