[Tutorial] Installing Pymol on Mac OS.
Previously, we provided a tutorial for Pymol installation on Ubuntu. In this article, we are going to install Pymol on Mac OS.
Preparing system
Let’s update and upgrade our system first.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Installing prerequisites
If you are going to use MacPorts for the installation, then you will have to install the prerequisites as shown below.
% sudo port install tcl-corefoundation
% sudo port install tk-quartz
Installing Pymol
Using Homebrew
% brew install brewsci/bio/pymol
Using MacPorts
% sudo port install pymol
After a successful installation, type % pymol in the terminal to run.

AlphaFold is a popular artificial intelligence based protein prediction tool [1]. Though it predicts good protein structures, it lacks the capability to predict the small molecules present in the structure such as ligands. For this purpose, AlphaFill is introduced by Hekkelman et al.,[2]. (more…)
Electron density maps are available for most of the protein structures in PDB. Therefore, in this article, we are using PDB to generate electron density maps in Pymol.
