Superimposition of Carbohydrate Molecules
Dear ChimeraX, I am trying to superimpose multiple carbohydrate chains using chimeraX. Using match command, I am unable to do the same. Here is my command: *match #2:1-4 to #1:1-4* But I am getting the following error:
Reference and/or match model contains no nucleic or amino acid chains. Use the command-line 'match' command to superimpose small molecules/ligands.
Already I am using match command, still why the same error is showing?
Please advise me on how to proceed?
Thank you in advance.
Dear Rajarshi Roy, The command in ChimeraX to match small molecules is “align” (not “match,” which is the same as “matchmaker” and works for biopolymers).

The error message is wrong! Sorry about that, we will fix it. I guess the error message was copied from Chimera to ChimeraX without updating the wording.
Apologies for the inconvenience. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
