I have a PDB file of three proteins bound together (in one model). I would like to fuse the N terminus of one protein to the C terminus of another protein by adding a peptide linker between the termini. Is it possible to do this using Chimera?

So far, I have built a linker and joined it to one of the termini, but doing that combined the linker and all proteins in the file into one model. Now, I can't connect the free end of the linker to the other terminus because they are part of the same model. Any help would be much appreciated!

Best,
