Here’s how. Open a copy of the atomic structure in and put it in the orientation you want for the maps, I’ll call this the reference structure (#0). Now open your first map (#1) with its fit structure (#2). Align the fit atomic structure with the reference atomic structure</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>match #2 #0</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then move the map so it aligns with its fit atomic structure.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>matrixcopy #2 #1</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The reference structure need not be displayed to do this.

You might want to save the reference model in the desired orientation as a Chimera session file so you can rerun with exactly the same orientation at a later date if you decide to change something (e.g. image size, background color).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 3, 2016, at 7:58 AM, Cathy Lawson wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear USCF Chimera Team,<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m looking for suggestions on how to go about the following:</div><div class="">For the EMDataBank map challenge we have sets of EM maps of the same molecule that have been submitted in different orientations.</div><div class="">We’d like to automate production of images for each set of maps with a common orientation/scale so that they can be readily compared.</div><div class="">Models fitted to each map are in principle available, so this could be part the process if needed (e.g., to define transformations between map positions/orientations).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Many thanks,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cathy</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="">
