Good morning UCSF ChimeraX Support Team, 

My name is Vincent Hsueh and I'm a P1 Pharmacy Student at Champan University.

I'm a new member to the lab and it seems no one, currently with the lab, has prior experience to using ChimeraX. So far, I have isolated the Human ACE hAChE (PDB: 3LII) in the .csx file attached to the email. 

My PI gave me the task to superimpose to proteins, Human AChE (PDB: 3LII) colored in Beige and hTg ChEL (PDB 6SCJ) colored in Gold, but I'm having issues learning how to do it on my own. I'm trying to isolate Chain #B from PDB: 3LII with PDB: 6SCJ to see which part of 6SCJ is adjacent to 3LII prior to isolating both chains.

I tried reading the ChimeraX user guide, and created the attached "in-progress(super-imposed)_final.csx file, but I'm still not sure how to do it properly.

So far, I've opened my isolated PDB: 3LII model in ChimeraX, opened the PDB: 6SCJ file, used the matchmaker command, highlighted the corresponding sequences in SequenceViewer, but my PI has told me that the resulting model still has minor issues.

Hopefully, I can gain some guidance in this effort to learn ChimeraX on my own, for my lab, and for future lab members!
