Dear Elaine

Thank you for your quick reply.

However, my only guess is that in ChimeraX, you did not correctly combine the receptor and ligand models into one model before saving it as a PDB file, or that when you saved you didn't save the combined model but some other model.
>Thank you for telling me exactly what the problem is.

In ChimeraX you have to use the "combine" command to make a new model, and then save the new model.  There is no GUI for combining yet.  After combining, then you can use either the "save" command or menu: File... Save to save the new model.
>Thank you for showing me exactly how to do it. I will do it as soon as possible.

Thanks to your help, I will be able to make progress in my research.

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My example used commands for both steps:
