<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Elaine/David,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Yeah that was my thinking with the axis etc. I have no idea how I'd begin to calculate the distances and centre of rotation (plus I'm on a bit of a deadline so can't fiddle with this indefinitely).</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Your alternative suggestion seems to have worked (and I realised part of the error I was making). I was downloading the biounits by default. I assumed they would have the BIOMT data of their subunits, whereas what I should
have been doing was downloading the asymmetric unit and applying that rotation matrix.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">One last question in that case, since I think this might be the 'elegant' way to program this:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Lets say I have a file with a some 'master' biounit data that I've copied out of one of the correct models. Could I apply this 'externally' through chimera, without it having to be part of the loaded model?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I imagine this would require some python scripting, but I'm envisaging something like:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"></p>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span>Open some model of interest
<ol>
<li>Fit the model to a reference if necessary.</li></ol>
</li><li>Apply the rotation matrix supplied from an external 'master' text file (possibly by 'injecting' it in to an open model in chimera?)</li></ol>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Any thoughts?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<div class="PlainText">You may need to save PDB of the fitted copy relative to the structure with biomt, and then read that new file in and apply the matrix from the reference structure (or do it the way David Bhella suggested).<br>
<br>
You can specify axis, center, and all that stuff in the “sym” command but I’m guessing figuring out what to specify would be exceedingly difficult compared to using the biomt of your reference structure.<br>
