However, I believe you can get close enough for your purposes. From your description I’m guessing it’s a Python script. I sure hope so because what you want is only possible in Python! Also, from your mail I’m not sure how much of the script you’ve got working so far, but I’m going to guess you’ve gotten the MAV from Match->Align showing and I’ll go from there.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>First you need to find the Multalign Viewer instance that Match->Align created. This <a href="http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2014-June/010017.html" class="">chimera-users message</a> discusses how to do that. Also, as mentioned in that message, you should call mav.Quit() when you are done with that particular Multalign Viewer instance.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Then you need to invoke the “Assess Match” functionality in your MAV instance. So assuming your reference structure is in a variable named 'ref’ and that your evaluation structures are in a list called ‘evalStructs’ and that you want the resulting attribute named ‘matchDist’, then you would do this:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>mav.assessMatch(ref, evalStructs, “matchDist”)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Now is when you would have had Render By Attribute write out the matchDist attribute values, but instead you will have to do it “by hand”. Namely you will have to iterate through the residues of the evaluation structures (i.e. their ‘.residues’ attribute) and for the residues with a ‘matchDist’ attribute (i.e. hasattr(r, “matchDist”) == True) you write the residue and value to a file (“str(r)” will get you a text description of the residue).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
