[Chimera-users] make one chain from two chains ID in PDB

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Jianbo,
You may want to try one of these PDB-editing web servers:

<http://www.igs.cnrs-mrs.fr/Caspr2/magicPDB.cgi>

<http://dicsoft2.physics.iisc.ernet.in/pdbgoodies/inputpage.html>

Both make you choose the file before you can see the options, but can  
do several things, including changing chain ID and renumbering.  I  
haven't tried exactly what you describe, but it is probably worth  
trying before using a text editor.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
