[Chimera-users] automated selection of most N-terminal residue in model

[michel dedeo]

Hi,

I'm trying to measure the distance between the N-termini (or the first
known residue) of a batch of dimeric proteins. The two proteins are
different chains. I know how to do this by hand, but am exploring different
ways to script it. It may be best to avoid using chimera entirely, but I
thought I'd check to see if anyone knows a clever way to select the residue
closest to the N-terminus when it's not residue #1.

Thanks for your help.

Michel
