<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Hi Maja,<div class="">3eyv chain H has multiple residues that each contain C1,C2,C3. So to specify three atoms named C1,C2,C3 in 3eyv, you also have to specify in which residue (GUC 223 or GAL 224 or NDG 225 or FUC 226). Here is an image of these 4 residues in 3eyv with residue labels in green and atom labels on their carbons in tan, and another image of the pubchem molecule (hydrogens hidden for simplicity) with atom labels on its carbons in light blue.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I don't know which atoms you want to match with which atoms, but for example if 3eyv was #0 and the pubchem molecule #1, then to match pubchem molecule atoms C1,C2,C3 with 3eyv chain H residue 225 atoms C3,C2,C1 (in that order) you would use command:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">match #1@c1,c2,c3 #0:225.h@c3,c2,c1</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am pretty sure those are not the right atoms to match, however. You would need to substitute the model numbers that you have (check in the Model Panel, opened from Favorites menu), as well as the residue number in 3eyv and the atom names that you actually want to match in the order in which you want them to be matched. If the oligosaccharides are not in a similar conformation, however, the overall match probably won't look that good.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Match command and its options:</div><div class=""><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/match.html" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/match.html</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">How to specify atoms in the command line:</div><div class=""><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/frameatom_spec.html" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/frameatom_spec.html</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope this helps,</div><div class="">Elaine</div><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">-----<br class="">Elaine C.

I'm having a whole world of trouble. I understand that you have to select at least three atoms in each molecule and they have to be the same atoms in the same order in each to do this. I've used the 'label' command to show the atom names and numbers on each molecule. I've tried shift + cntrl click to select the atoms manually and then the command 'match sel'. This gives me the error message 'At least one atom must be selected'. Not sure why this is happening. I also tried using the 'match' command, but I'm not sure what identifiers to use for the two molecules . The PubChem molecule is listed as (noID) under chains and the partial ligand in the PDB is part of chain H. So, if I want to use match #X c1, c2, c3, #Y c1, c3, c4 etc. I don't know how to identify the two molecules. Using match #noID and #H does not work. I'm using Chimera 1.13. Is it better if I convert to Chimera X please?<br class=""><br class="">Thanks so much and best wishes,<br class=""><br class="">Maja<br class=""><br class="">Dr Maja Divjak <br class="">BAppSc(Hons), PhD, Grad Cert 3D Animation (AFTRS)<br class="">Biomedical Animator<br class="">Office of Cancer Research<br class=""><br class="">Phone +61 3 8559 5961<br class=""><a href="mailto:maja.divjak@petermac.org" class="">Email maja.divjak@petermac.org</a><br class="">305 Grattan Street<br class="">Melbourne Victoria 3000<br class="">www.petermac.org<br class=""></blockquote><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
