Hi Korbin, I don't know if this meets your needs, but: In Chimera, the attached python script findIncomplete.py selects templated residues (e.g. standard amino acids) that are missing any nonhydrogen atoms. It can only select atoms that are actually present, so it won't directly identify which atoms are missing. You could write a list of the selection (e.g. command "writesel") but you would need to infer which atoms were missing from that list. Also, this script wouldn't report residues that are completely missing. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi, I'm trying to find missing atoms in certain residues. I know they are in the pdb header information, but is there a way I can use Chimera or python script to access this using the command line only? I have a large number of proteins to go through, so checking them all individually is not really efficient. Korbin West
