Hi Hanspeter, If you want to use a stock pdb that does not contain chain IDs, you should create the object using either a residue or atom selection. For example (using residue ids for kinesin) create kin=(/1BG2///3:325/)
However, for your convenience I've attached a modified pdb that contains different chain IDs for each molecule in the PDB. kinesin = A ADP = B acetate = C water = W The new PDB was made using MOLEMAN2 (from the Uppsala Software Factory - http://alpha2.bmc.uu.se/~gerard/manuals/) Saturday, April 17, 2004, 1:03:55 PM, you wrote: HN> I'm trying to create an object of a protein from a PDB file that doesn't HN> give a chain ID (pdb is 1BG2).
