[Chimera-users] reconstructing x-ray structure

Hi Tom,

I want to find out coordinates between peptide and protein. In x-ray  
structures (such as: 2gzv it is a PDZ domain and peptide binds to  
alpha helix in this domain), peptide is attached into C-terminal of  
protein. At least they obtained bound structure with attaching  
peptide into C-terminal of protein. Originally, peptide binds to  
different place in the protein.
Is there anyway to find the right place of peptide using this x-ray  
structure in Chimera?
If I find positions between peptide and protein, eventually i will  
see peptide-protein interactions as in the right place.

I hope this clarifies my problem.
