The function called in that code. MatchMaker.match(), is the function that the mmaker command ultimately calls (there’s an intermediate “cmdMatch” function that does some argument parsing). You already do the correct imports at the top of your script (“from MatchMaker import match, …”).

The ?match? command is for when you know a priori the exact set of atoms you want matched in the two structures. ?matchmaker? is for when you let Chimera figure out the set of atoms to use based on the sequences and secondary structure. The documentation for the matchmaker command is here:<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matchmaker.html#options" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matchmaker.html#options</a><<a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matchmaker.html#options" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matchmaker.html#options</a>><br class=""><br class="">I looked at your script and didn?t see anything obviously wrong.
