Hi Jacek, I guess what you have is five separate models (i.e. listed separately in the Models panel). You can use the "combine" command to make a new combined model from them, see: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/combine.html> Example, if you want to make a new combined model #6 out of existing models #1-5: combine #1-5 model #6 Of course, you'd have to modify that if you have different model numbers (look in the Models panel to make sure of what you have), and there are other options to the command that you might want to use, as described in the help link above. The example command above would keep models #1-5 in addition to the new one, but you can use the option to close them after creating the new combined model. Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi, I am medicinal chemist. I used ChimeraX to model missing parts/loops of the protein for which I had cryo-EM structure. It is transmembrane protein consisting of 5 individual chains. I managed to reconstruct missing parts using as a template known sequences of publicly available X-ray structures of proteins and known sequences. I have now a nice assembly of five individual “repaired” proteins perfectly aligned with parts of my cryo-EM structure. However the PDB file of those FIVE individual proteins is not recognized as ONE protein with five separate chains by my other programs. I suppose there is a way to get the result I need, but I cannot find the solution by myself. Can you help?
