Hi Elaine,

The problem I have is actually not with chimera itself. I can display all the models etc nicely within it. However, I want to make now a PDB file of a multi-protein complex in a format that can be deposited in the PDB database. Then I run into problems if the models are separated by Model ENDMDL lines or have chains with the same letter identifier. I was hoping to be able to generate a multi-protein PDB file from my chimera fitting without having to manually edit a lot of lines in the multimodel PDB file. Any suggestions on how to best do this would be appreciated.

Hi Hernando, Elaine kind of mentioned this in passing in another posting, but you can now do what you wanted to do above with the new "combine" command (also available as the Combine button of the Model Panel). It's in the current daily build and upcoming release candidate/production release. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
