Hi everyone,
I am quite new to PyMol and structural biology as well, since I am
still a student. I installed PyMol via Fink on my iBook running Panther
10.3.1. I want to view the homotetramer of the TTR-protein. I got it
from the PDB (PDB-id: 1f41). The asymmetric unit is a dimer. But the
assumed biological molecule is the tetramer. One can download the
coordinates of this molecule. But when I try to load it in Pymol, only
the dimer shows up. I am quite sure that this file should contain the
right coordinates, because the "origin of rotation" differs between the
tetramer file and the dimer file. How can display the other dimer? This
is necessary in particular, because i am supposed to examine the loops
which mediates the dimer-dimer-interaction. Do you want me to send the
coordinates file to the list?
Thanks in advance and please apologize my bad english,
René Wuttke
