match-align using just selected protein areas ?

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible in Chimera align two proteins let say protein A and protein B, but just using selected subsequences A_sel, B_sel (i.e. just the selected subsequences are going to be optimally matched and the rest of both proteins is not involved in the matching process/calculation) ? Thank you in advance ! Best wishes, Marek -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Hi Marek, Yes, if you mean MatchMaker (Match->Align does not align the structures, it just makes a sequence alignment from a structural alignment you already made). In the MatchMaker GUI, there is a "Further restrict matching to current selection" setting: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/matchmaker/matchmaker.html> In the matchmaker (mmaker) command, <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/mmaker.html> ... it is similar but you instead specify the residues directly instead of selecting them: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/mmaker.html#restrict> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
