Love ChimeraX - the UI is really enjoyable! I was curious if I could put in a plug for biomtSet true option to be ported to ChimeraX's sym command! I expect a lower priority, but would love to use this tool in ChimeraX in some future version.

Hi Jacob, Thanks for the kind words! You may already know this, but ChimeraX does read the BIOMT if you open the structure as PDB format (instead of the default mmCIF). E.g. open 1fav format pdb sym #1 biomt see <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/sym.html#symmetry> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine and Jacob, You may also be interested to know that ProDy now reads the equivalent BIOMT information from mmCIFs in case you want to use that. The code may also be helpful for incorporating such a feature into ChimeraX. Best wishes James Elaine Meng via ChimeraX-users <chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> escribió:
