[Chimera-users] Creating a single pdb file from multiple pdb files

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Steven,
Sorry, currently there is nothing in Chimera to calculate average structures.  Chimera's "Ensemble Cluster" tool will identify clusters and representative structures from ensembles (where each structure has the same atoms, just different coordinates), but it doesn't calculate averaages.

I was looking at the chimera-users list archive on this topic and saw that somebody had recommended the following:

I haven't tried it, however.  Best,
Elaine

I guess that this would be something like creating a single (weighted average) of NMR ensemble structures but using any chosen pdb file. Thanks for any help!
