[Chimera-users] Constrainted fitting

[Christoph Wigge]

Dear all,

I would like to fit two protein monomers that form a dimer into an em density map. I know from previous mutagenesis studies that the binding takes place with two tryptophan residues and the counterpart binding pocket. How can I set this interaction as fixed so that chimera fits the rest of the molecule according to the density map without continuously changing this part of the essential protein protein interaction? I would like to fit that interaction manually and then exclude it from the automatic procedure. Thank you very much in advance.

Bests
