[Chimera-users] Unable to save file in pdb

[Neha Goel]

Dear Elaine,

Thank you for your reply. When I am trying to fit model using reference
pdb. I am not getting appropriate response. Because my reference pdb has
only 11 chains while my protein has more than this. Kindly suggest some
person who can help me with this. I will be heartily thankful to you


Regards
Neha Goel
