Hi,
I'm trying to use PyMol to create a polysaccharide (or poly-anything)
out of a disaccharide building block. The disaccharide consists of two
residues with different residue names and residue numbers "1" and "2".
When I use the "fuse" command in PyMol to fuse one disaccharide to
another, two things happen which I'm hoping can be prevented with some
kind of setting:
1. The residue numbers of the polysaccharide are all "1" or "2", i.e.
the residue numbers are 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2....
2. The atom names in the polysaccharide are not the same as in the
disaccharide building block.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?
One possible solution to "1." is to renumber the residues afterwards.
However I can't figure out how to do it since trying to select one of
the residues in the polysaccharide results in PyMol selecting all
residues with that residue name (since all residues have the same
residue number)
