Hi there,

we have just started looking at the xplor python interface and would like to use
it to stitch together a fusion protein from two structured domains connected by
a linker with unknown structure.

So we use psfGen.seqToPSF(...) in order to create the psf for the complete
molecule. Is there now a way to read in the two PDBs that each cover part of the
total sequence and project their structure into the system? Or will we need to
create a single composite PDB with fake coordinates for the linker?

The second step would be to create a covalent structure for the linker and
minimize the whole system together. protocol.genExtendedStructure(...) should do
the trick for the linker but how do we then run a rigid body, flexible linker,
rigid body minimization? Lots of xplor.command(), or is there a more pythonic 
way?

The python interface looks quite a bit more intuitive than the classic xplor
language but documentation seems a bit patchy. Sorry if we overlooked some
obvious documentation!

Thanks a lot in advance!
Raik
