[Chimera-users] Double coordinates for same residue

[Hurt, Darrell (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Hi Elaine,

I was using the Aqua version of Chimera for Mac when it happened to me in
a training session. Doh!

Of course, I just tried it again on that same system and it did work.
Maybe I did something else wrong...

Either way, it is important to know how to treat those pesky alternative
positions!

Thanks,
Darrell
