Hi Mark,
If the structure has been deposited in the PDB you can download the
"biological assembly" - even works for viruses, cheers, Matt.

Just wondering if there is an easy way to generate symmetry-related chains,
necessary for instance to join protein chains into the biologically relevant
multimers.
What I do now is look up the correct symmetry and translation operator in COOT
or PYMOL and input that in PDBSET, but there may be easier ways.
in the CCP4bb archive I found the following tip for COOT:
Extensions -> Modelling -> Symm Shift Reference Chain Here.
but that does not appear to be available in COOT, or not anymore.
