[Chimera-users] chimera to rebuild crystal

Hi Tom and chimera users,

I'm afraid I wasn't clear. What I would like to have is not all the asym
units within a specific radius, but all the symmetry-related molecules
(that may come from different asymmetric units and different unit cells)
that make contact to a specific selection within a certain distance.
Let's say my asymmetric unit contains two molecules A and B. If I am
interested in a loop in molecule A, I would like to see the
symmetry-related molecules (whether A or B, from any asymmetric unit in
the crystal) that are close to this loop _and_ only these ones, i.e. not
the whole asymmetric unit to which they belong. To get the positions of
these molecules you need to apply both the crystal symmetry operators
_and_ the lattice translations.

This is what the programs we use to build our models normally do, but I
understand that building a model in electronic density is something
different from chimera aims. That's why I suggested to put it in the
long-term wish-list ;-)

Cheers,



Miguel
