[Chimera-users] DNA superposition

[MarcoSette]

Hi Elaine,

thanks for your help.
I would like to match only the DNA part of the complex (chain B in my 
case), and watch the different protein (chain A) orientation between the 
models.
If my command is
match #0 #1
I do not specify that the match should concern chains B.

Thanks again,
Marco

I believe your first example”match" command would superimpose #0-3 onto #4-7 (pairing #0 and #4, #1 and #5, etc.  Maybe it is hard to see that that is what happened.
