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
