Hi Warren,

OK, that works just as you say it does.

however, what I really need is each chain to have a unique chain identifier in the pdb file written out.

I see there might be a problem here as there are 60 molecules, and only 24 letters in the alphabet.... I actually only want to have 15 of them in my model, so we could get round it that way, by deleting the ones I dont want....
but then how to give them unique pdb chain identifiers?

I want to load the 15 molecule model in Bodil to do my actual modelling.

cheers

Dan

Dan,

        That's the not expected result, but indeed you have a problem --
each of those subunits will have identical atoms. To resolve this, assign a
unique segment identifier to each subunit:

load 1c8e.pdb1, 1c8e
split_states 1c8e
delete 1c8e
alter all, segi = model[-4:]
rewind
save test.pdb, all

dele all
load test.pdb

The reason why you were getting a PDB file with just END is that you didn't return the viewer ro frame/state 1 after moving all of the data to state 1.

After the above, you'll now be able to address each subunit indepently as:

hide
show ribbon
color red, segi 0001
zoom segi 0001

Subject: [PyMOL] save all not working for multiple objects
from split_states?

Hi all,

I opened a "biological unit" pdb file of a viral capsid
protein containing the 60 "states" or "models" making up the
whole viral capsid structure.

I did
split_states
to get all 60 molecules as individual objects

sweet!

then I deleted the ones I didnt want, leaving 15 molecules
around one of the 5 fold symmetry axes.

now I want to save these molecules to a pdb file.

so I did

save 5fold.pdb, all

this gave no errors, but the pdb file written only contains

END

what am I doing wrong? I expect it is my simple mistake?

cheers

Dan
