Hi, Thank you all for your help! Of course coot works perfectly and also PISA is useful, not I am not sure both can be employed in a high-throuput manner for hundreds of structures. I looked at gemmi but am not familiar with python-mmdb, so I will take a look at that. Thank you Zhijie for the

Hi Orly, REMARK 290 should be the easiest way for generating symmetry mates. Other routes are just going to give you the same results. As Jonathan already pointed out, the symm ops do not garantee that the symm copies are close to each other. The most simple-minded solution to this problem

Happy New Year indeed. Thank you. If this is not just a personal programming exercise, Orly Avraham might also take a look at PISA, python-mmdb and/or gemmi. Paul. On 10/01/2020 21:48, Jonathan Cooper wrote: Hello, I am sure that you have found that if you apply the symmetry operations

Hello, I am sure that you have found that if you apply the symmetry operations yourself, the resulting molecules can come out miles apart, so you need to find the right unit cell translations that bring them close together again to generate the real crystal packing. Coot does all this very

Hi all, I am a crystallographer currently employing computational methods as well as experimental crystallography. I am trying to generate symmetry mates in python (working with pandas dataframes), in order to analyze inter-sub-unit interactions. To do so I am trying to use the info in "REMARK
