Hello,
I have been playing with the icosahedron utility in Chimera. I really like
this feature, especially with the sphere factor.
The current routine uses a subdivision factor to represent the number of
triangles on an icosahedral surface. However this lattice is not the same
as we see in icosahedral viruses, which use a T number to designate
symmetry. With a subdivision number, there are always hexamers on any edge
of the icosahedron, whereas in the virus structure this is not the case.
I am wondering if Chimera has an utility that can use the T number as the
basis for building an icosahedron surface.
Thank you.
Hope everything is going well and stay safe!
Wei
