Dear Chimera users,

 

I would like to use the MatchMaker utility to superimpose a family of beta peptide conformers calculated through Xplor-NIH.  Unfortunately, MatchMaker does not recognize these molecules and tells me the "chains are incompatible".  Furthermore, I would like to specify that only certain residues in the beta peptides be used in the global alignment.

 

I know how to match specific selections in 2 models through the Match utility using the command line (sel #0:1,2,3,4,5@CB,N,C,CA #1:1,2,3,4,5@CB,N,C,CA and then match sel) but I am unsure how to superimpose all of the models at the same time.  For instance: models #1-20, residues 2-8, atoms C, N, CA, CB.

 

If anyone could offer me help on the appropriate syntax I would be grateful.

 

Thank you and best regards,

 

Russell
