question regarding using molmap with symmetry option
Hello! I've been working with some virus models, and was hoping to use molmap with the symmetry option. The main reason I'm not using multiscale models is so that I can create a single surface for several of the different chains in the capsid. I've been having a little trouble getting this to work, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly: molmap :.A-C 10 symmetry biomt Is this correct? Doing this gives me the error: "Keyword 'symmetry' doesn't match any known keywords" Advice? thanks, Janet
Hi Janet! It looks correct -- however, the molmap symmetry options were added after the 1.5.3 release, so the issue is probably that you need to get a newer version of Chimera (a daily build). <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#daily> Changes since last production release, 1.5.3: <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/relnotes/snapshot.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Advice?
