<div>Hi Eric,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am only concerned with preserving records that are involved in various renderings of each subunit. I am taking the combination pdb file and assigning partial charges to the residues using pdb2pqr and then rendering the resulting pqr file in VMD because
Chimera does not support pqr files. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The main issue I have experienced is that I am unable to render several representations such as secondary structures because the combined pdb file is missing these records. Is this possibly due to an error on my part? Do you know a way to remedy the situation?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank You,</div>
<div>Nikolay</div>

I’m working on a project that requires me to merge models created through PDB BIOMT records. I have been using the copy&combine feature in the model panel to merge all of my models, and then writing a new PDB of only the combined model. I’ve noticed that this
method deletes a large amount of information about the structure, including secondary structure records. Is there a way to merge models without losing such data?<o:p></o:p></div>

If it is relevant, I am merging 90+ models.</div>

<div>Hi Nikolay,</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>So, why do you want to preserve the various header records in the merged models? Chimera will write out appropriate HELIX and SHEET records for your merged structure if you save it in PDB format.</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>I guess I'm pretty unclear as to how to "merge" many of the various record types when combining models. Such as: AUTHOR, COMPND, CRYST1, EXPDTA, HEADER, ORIGX, various REMARK records, TITLE,
and so on.</div>
