[Chimera-users] ViewDock

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Leila,
Try Chimera commands something like this:

alias ^savecplx ~modeldisp #1;modeldisp #1.$1; combine #0#1.$1 model #2;write relative #0 #2 ~/Desktop/receptor-lig$1.pdb;close 2
perframe savecplx range 1,252

That example assumes the receptor is opened as model 0 and the ligands as model 1 (1.1… 1.252 in your case).  The alias command ending with “close 2” must be all one line (don’t break it into multiple lines even if your mail display makes it look that way).  You could name the alias and the output files differently, as you like. The combining is required because the “write” command only saves one model at a time.  The "File… Save PDB" dialog allows saving multiple models into one file without combining, but it would be tedious to use that 252 times.

Command manpages:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
