[Chimera-users] Question concerning rotamer choosing

[Eric Pettersen]

To answer the Python side of this, chimera.Rotamers.getRotamers(residue) gets a list of rotamers (really Molecule instances) for that residue (Dunbrack library by default).  Each of those Molecule instances has a 'rotamerProb' attribute, which is the value you see in the graphical user interface.  You apply the rotamer you want by calling chimera.Rotamers.useRotamer(residue, rotamers) where rotamers is a list of rotamers to apply, probably just one (at a time) in your case because if you supply multiple rotamers then they will all be used by putting each one in a different alternate location.

Is there a way to extract these probability values using a script, in order to run it on a certain number of rotamers ? That way it would be quite automated.
