Hi Martin, Do you mean something like this? If so, use the "type=" parameter with fetch.
# grab the biological unit; this PDB1 is in # 2 states, so split them with multiplex fetch 1avd, type=pdb1, multiplex=1, async=0 # color the chains util.color_chains() # show as cartoon as cartoon Cheers, -- Jason On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 4:00 PM, Martin Hediger <ma....@bluewin.ch> wrote: > Dear all > I would like to ask how it is possible to download the coordinate file > for the biological assembly of a protein structure from the PDB. > Naturally, this is not a question directly related to PyMOL, but I > thought I'll be reaching at least a couple of > Biochemists/Chrystallographers who know how to do this. > As an example, when downloading the PDB file of "1AVD", I get a file > with two chains.
