Hi Joshua, ChimeraX gets the chain descriptions from a PDB file by processing the COMPND records, specifically the MOL_ID, MOLECULE, CHAIN, and SYNONYM "sub-records" of the COMPND records, as per the somewhat ugly code at lines 1482-1525 of atomic/src/structure.py <https://github.com/RBVI/ChimeraX/blob/develop/src/bundles/atomic/src/structu...>. For mmCIF files, it does analogous things by processing the struct_asym and entity tables. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hello,
When I load a pdb into chimerax, a table appears with the chain IDs and associated descriptions. I would like to change the chain descriptions. How do I do that?
Thank you,
