HI Elaine,

I have docked the relevant atomic structure in the computed density map of C6 symmetry. I will now need to generate another 5 copies of the atomic structure  to fit in the density envelope. And I was looking for the complete command. Let me know what will be the command.

Stay safe & Regards

Hi Anindito. We couldn't say what the "sym" command would be without knowing what information is in the structure file (PDB or mmCIF). If there is not symmetry information in the file then you have to specify it in the command instead, which ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart

Hi Anindito.
We couldn't say what the "sym" command would be without knowing what information is in the structure file (PDB or mmCIF).  If there is not symmetry information in the file then you have to specify it in the command instead, which can be difficult.
 
However, maybe what you really want is "fitmap" with symmetrical fitting (instead of making copies with "sym" first).  In that case your density map must have symmetry information.  See "fitmap" help and video:

I hope this helps,
