[Chimera-users] Converting a carbonyl group to carboxylic acid group

3 Jun 2024

      Hi Elaine,

I have a SER residue which is in the middle of a polypeptide chain. Is
there a way in chimera/chimeraX to specifically extract this residue such
that the carbonyl group bonded to its N-terminal NH group also gets
extracted but is converted to carboxylic acid group (-COOH group) before
extracting?

Thanks in advance,
