Importing pdb structures from OPM
Hi Elaine,
I was wondering where it is possible to use the "open" command to import PDB structures of membrane proteins from OPM. I see in: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#fetch that we can fetch data from various sources but OPM was not listed there. If this were possible, we could directly import membrane protein structures from OPM which have dummy residues that can be used to define membrane boundaries via the *define plane *command.
Thank you
Hi Prathvi, There is no OPM fetch -- instead you go to the OPM database website and download the file(s) that you want onto your computer. Then you use "open" to open a local PDB file. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Thank you very much.
