Dear All,

I have a protein with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, denoted as chain A 
and B and I have a 3rd chain with all the water molecules. My question is how 
can I assign the waters in Wincoot to the 2 different protein chains according 
to their distance from the protein? I tried the WATER TIDY in CCP4, but it 
results in several water molecules with different coordinates compared to the 
water molecules find in Wincoot (and I also have problems with reading the 
Watertidy output file). The only thing I can do now is to inspect all the 
waters in Wincoot, measure the distance from the protein chains and change the 
water chain id to A or B in  the pdb file with a text editor one-by-one for 
each water molecule. Is there a faster and smarter solution?

Thank you in anticipation for your kind help.

Best regards,

Ida Noemi Simon
