[Chimera-users] Transfer of docked substrate co-ordinates

[Elaine Meng]

Hello Chittari Jaya Shree,
You would just open your file two times and match one copy "backwards" so that the ligand part goes into the other chain of the first copy.

More details:
I see your file has protein (with chains A and B) as one model and the ligand as another model.  If you open it in Chimera it is model #0 with submodels #0.1 protein and #0.2 ligand.   Open the file again so that you also have model #1,  #1.1 protein and #1.2 ligand.  Then you can use Matchmaker "specific chain to specific chain" option to match #1 protein chain A (with ligand) onto #0 chain B (which was empty).  You could use Matchmaker GUI, or the command to do the same thing:

mm #0.1:.A #1.1:.B pair ss

<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/matchmaker/matchmaker.html>

Then close the second copy of protein so you are just left with one copy of protein but with ligands in both sites, for example command:

close #1.1

That may be all you need to do if you are just using Chimera on the results, e.g. for analysis or making figures.  However, if you are planning to export to other programs you may want to combine the three models you have left (#0.1, #0.2, #1.2) into a single model before writing out the file.  For example, see instructions in this recent post on how to combine the models before saving:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
