[Chimera-users] fit into map global

[Dieter Blaas]

Hi,

     I am struggling to fit a model of a single protomer into a viral 
cryo-EM map. I usually succeed after a very long process of manually 
positioning the model approximately and then running 'fit into map' that 
arranges it in the best way.  I filtered the map to low resolution and 
used the option to generate a density map of the pdb file which makes it 
easier but it is still complicated. However, I believe that there is a 
routine to globally fit that does not require the very cumbersome first 
manual fitting. Can anybody please give me a hint?

Thanks a lot, Dieter
