[Chimera-users] Selection of residues and superposition

[Alessandra Gastaldello]

Hi,
I am trying to use Chimera to do superposition of multiple 3D 
structures.
What I would really like to do is:
1. to select some residues for each of the structure
and then
2. to superimpose the structures telling to chimera that the residues I 
selected have necessarily to be superimposed.

To align "only" the protein sequences in a similar way for example I use 
COBALT that allows to specify the position of residues that have to be 
aligned necessarily together.

Can I do this in chimera with 3D structures?

thank so much for any help!
