Elaine and Eric, Morph Conformations worked great after a little PDB editing. Thanks for your help! -Dave On Aug 19, 2008, at 12:11 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Dave, I was assuming you wanted to morph between the positions. If instead you simply want to jump from one to the other, you can just use the display command. For example, if both are shown then "~disp @.b" would hide the B altlocs. Then you could switch with "disp @.b; ~disp @.a" (the semicolon prevents display of the intermediate state with both shown). You could include the residue number and chain ID in these commands, for example :335.a@.b refers to altloc B atoms of residue 335 in chain A. Best, Elaine

Dear Chimera team,
Is there a movie command that can easily depict the interconversion between two alternate conformations in a nucleic acid or protein residue (designated conformation a and b) within a pdb file. I am really trying to illustrate with a movie how the phosphates flip between two well defined states in an ultra-high resolution DNA crystal structure using a chimera movie.
Thanks in advance, Dave Chenoweth
