<p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Apologies, I must have switched the numbers as I typed. The EM density is <span>EMD-6271 and <span>EMD-6270. If you fetch 6270 with fitted PDB's, it should be fairly obvious what I mean when it comes to fitting 2 different rings of proteins, however I wish
to do this with my own structures in to their map, rather than the structures they have.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span><br>
</span></span></p>
<p>The structures I have a simulations/homology models, so they don't contain any BIOMT/symmetry information, thus I think I'm left with the only option being fitting each protein individually. Since I plan to do this quite a lot, I'd rather not have to resort
to doing it by hand (and if it can be scripted - all the better).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I envisage the problem like this (correct me if you think this approach won't work though):</p>
<p>1. Open the first protein. Fit the first protein for each ring (1 monomer)</p>
<p>2. Continue to open models consecutively (or copy the existing one)</p>
<p>3. With each new model that is opened, fit it, but somehow determine if the same space is occupied with another model, if so, try elsewhere</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I believe the fit-in-map function can be given a random starting position, such that fitting in to different densities could be achieved without manual initial placement. I think the conceptual step I'm stuck on would just be knowing whether chimera has
any means of knowing whether 2 PDBs are occupying the same space (and/or EM density) - and then effectively using this as a conditional to re-attempt placement?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the help thus far,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Joe</p>

<div>Hi Joe,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> It doesn’t look like EMDB 6720, mammalian respiratory supercomplex is made up of hexamer rings. Is that the structure you mean?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> In you have 3 or 4 stacked hexamer rings for each of 2 proteins and they are exactly symmetric, or at least the map was reconstructed by imposing symmetry, then I would only fit one copy of an atomic model, and then create all the other copies
using the Chimera “sym” command so they are exactly placed according to the symmetry. If there really is no exact symmetry then you do have to fit each copy individually. The Chimera "Fit in Map” tool or equivalent fitmap command does a local optimization
based on an initial placement of the atomic model in the map — it uses gradient ascent to maximize correlation — so it will just find a local best fit. So in this case I would hand place each copy of the atomic model, trying to get the position right to better
than half the protein diameter (say 10 or 20 Angstroms) and the orientation angle not too far off (say no further than 60 degrees), then use the Chimera fitmap command or dialog on each. If the map is high resloution like EMDB 6720 at 3.6 Angstroms you can
probably fit copies without them moving to an adjacent position. At much lower resolution like 15 Angstroms, the copies will tend to move all to the highest density. Then you need to use the fitmap sequence or symmetry options to take into account clashes
between the copies.</div>
