Hi Jayant, Selecting something is not the same as making it movable. Selecting something makes Actions menu items apply to it. If you want to make different models movable/unmovable, use the "Active" checkboxes in the Model Panel (Favorites... Model Panel), or various "activate" functions in the right side of the Model Panel, or the small checkboxes under the Command Line (Favorites... Command Line). These activation methods determine which models can be moved with the mouse or with movement commands like "move" and "turn." As Tom said, however, the fitting tool requires atoms to be selected. Even if only a few atoms are selected, the fitting will move the entire model containing the atoms, but maximize the density values at the selected atoms. I hope this helps, Elaine On Oct 12, 2006, at 10:14 AM, jayant_jacques wrote:
Hi! I have been trying to fit a protein into an EM reconstruction.
methodology I display my protein of interest and EM map on the same window. I select the protein and if I click fit.
Problem 1. Nothing happens!! If I move the protein the whole frame moves as a whole. 2. Also is it possible to click drag the protein into the envelope and then give the fit command such that the program will take over the fitting. As I have 3 proteins to fit into this EM Map.
