<div dir="auto">Yes, so that is what I did. The "4 and 6" are the number of the assemblies I wanted to recreate which is the asymmetrical unit and crystal version of the unit. I did open up 1LP3 from the PDB bank super imposed to my alphfold prediction with matchmaker and then used the sym command for assembly #4 and #6. However, only the 1LP3 create the sym. The alphafold stays as a single superimposed monomer and I don't know why or how to fix it. <br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Thank you,<br><br>Heather Noriega<br>PhD-Pharmaceutical Science student<br>College of Pharmacy<br>Howard University<br><a href="mailto:heather.noriega@bison.howard.edu">heather.noriega@bison.howard.edu</a> <br>520-203-1883</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 29, 2021, 10:10 PM Elaine Meng <<a href="mailto:meng@cgl.ucsf.edu">meng@cgl.ucsf.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Heather,<br>
I don't know what you mean by "similar to 4 and 6." The mmCIF information is for describing and applying symmetries, not making an asymmetric assembly.<br>
<br>
Assuming that your ultimate goal is to generate such an assembly of your AlphaFold-predicted monomeric chain structures: If you have an assembly structure of some other similar proteins in that arrangement, you can open copies of your alphafold predictions and superimpose these copies onto the corresponding subunits of the known assembly (e.g. with "align" or "matchmaker" ... probably the latter, as it is easier if it works for your specific situation), then close that known assembly, leaving your approximately modeled assembly of AlphaFold models.<br>
