Hi Team,

I am writing to inquire about the functionality of ChimeraX, specifically concerning multi-subunit complexes with multiple chains of a single protein (e.g., PDB 4v7q).

I am wondering if there is a feature that allows for manipulating chains by assigning them to functional ontologies. For instance, with the 4v7q example, I would like to be able to execute commands such as:

color #1 "vp4" red
`mm #1/"vp4" to #2/"vp4"

These ontologies could be grabbed from the cif file and if the user decides define their pwn ontologies/groupings.
If such a feature does not exist, would you consider exposing such a feature to the user?

Best,
Pranav
