[Chimera-users] Script to generate and fit structures

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ahmad,
A command script is just a text file that has the same commands you would type in the command line.  So, you just have to figure out by trial and error (typing them into the command line individually) which commands you want to put in the file.

See commands: combine, move, savepos, reset, maybe also tile

I don’t know what you mean by “fit it into its new place,” but if you mean superimposing one structure on another, see commands matchmaker and match.

List of all commands, click links to see details on each one:

General explanation of command files and links to examples:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
