Dear all,
 
I am trying to simplify tedious and repetitive work through using Chimera. My work has to substitute a list of residue on a protein. For each row of the list, after the substitution, I need to save it as a separate file.
Since I am a beginner of python coding, I would like to ask the following question before I attempt to code:
 
-From what I said, is it possible to do it in Chimera?
-Do I just call the Rotamer program out by using “useRotamers()”? If it is using that, how do I provide the residue number and residue type into the program?
 
Thanks for your time and help. 
 
Best regards,
 
Ben
