# yes, for example:

load $TUT/1hpv.pdb

extract chA, chain A

extract chB, chain B

align chA, chB

print cmd.get_object_matrix("chA")

# which dumps the 4x4 homogenous transformation matrix

load chA_map, chA_map

matrix_copy chA, chA_map

isomesh chA_mesh, chA_map, 1.0, chA

# etc.

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] mesh and pair fitting questions

Hi,

I would like to do the following task:

I have three complexes of three different ligands with the same enzyme  and I 
would like to rotate/translate  the electron density maps of two of these 
complexes in order to superpose them onto the first complex.  I need to do the 
superposition based on the coordinates of the ligands and not on the common 
enzyme residues since there are conformational changes that differ in the three 
complexes. I can nicely superpose the ligands using Pymol "Pair fitting" wizard 
but then my questions are:

1-Is it possible to output  to the console the superposition matrix after pair 
fitting ?

2- Is it possible to apply these transformation matrices to mesh objects (from 
electron density maps)?
 
Thanks,

Carlos
