Subject: Feature request: combine while keeping chain IDs

Dear ChimeraX team, 

 

With the addition of Isolde, ChimeraX is now such a powerful modelling tool that I would like to suggest a new option for the “combine” command. It would be great if it were possible to specify that chain IDs are kept rather than being renumbered if both input models have the same chain ID (ideally this would only work if there were no overlapping residue numbers). This is very helpful if separately refined domains of proteins are put together in one PDB.

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Matthias
