Hi,

I'm attempting to use a python script to save the names of each residue in a protein

The code I have is as follows:

import chimerax, sys

from chimerax.core.commands import run

cwd = (str(sys.argv[0][:-17]))

prot = "/A"

run(session, "open 3GDM")run(session, "save " + str(cwd) + "/script_content/sasa/name.defattr " + str(prot) +  " & protein attrName r:name format defattr")

The command being input into the command line of ChimeraX by the script is as follows:

"save [file path]/name.defattr /A & protein attrName r:name format defattr"

I've also tried using:

"save [file path]/name.defattr attrName r:name format defattr models /A & protein"

However, both commands give me a file with all the residues and all the names contained within the model rather than just the chain I'm interested in.

Could you advise on how I can better use this command to save a file with the residue positions and corresponding amino acid for each residue from a single chain only?

I've attached the resultant file to this email.

Kind regards,

David
