[Chimera-users] want to converge 20 pdb files of a trimer

[ashok rout]

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your reply. I am able to superimpose 2 pbd files by using
command "match #0:379,400 #1:379,400", where #0 and #1 are 1st and 2nd pdb
files. 379, 400 means I want to superimpose residues from 379 to 400.
 After that I have problem (error: an even number of space-separated atom
specs are required) when I am trying to superimpose 3 pdb files using
command "match #0:379,400 #1:379,400 #2:379,400".

I am clearly writing you:
I have 20 pdb files of the trimer. e.g 1.pdb, 2.pdb, 3.pdb .... 20.pdb
Residues in the pdb file is from 369-410. I want to superimpose residues
from 379-400.
So what exactly the commands and steps.
Thanks,
Ashok
