Dear Chimera Team, I am studying the interactions between three enzymes with their biological assembly structures available in PDB. Using mass spectrometry, I have been able to identify interfacial residues, and what I want to do is build up a super complex (made of the three proteins) in a desired way that these proteins are oriented by interactions between experimentally-determined residues. Would you please tell me that, if I can make or draw this in chimera? And I am also trying to compare experimentally-proposed complex structure with simulated structure. Is there a specific way in chimera to simulate interactions between two or more proteins? I found that when I opened multiple protein files in one session, chimera would gave me a complex of these proteins (not always true with different pdb files). Is this an automatic generation of simulated protein complexes or just a superimposition of part of proteins? Thanks, Fei -- Fei Wu, Ph.D. candidate Shelley D.
