[Chimera-users] Querie: Ligand superimposition

[Graziella Portelli]

Hi Dr Elaine

First of all thank you for your reply and I apologize for my delayed reply,
but was on a short break.
I 'll take a look at the discussion about superimposition; as that is what
I specifically need.

Once again, thank you for your kind explanation

Graz
