Hi Martin, You can download the biological assembly directly from the pdb website. Under download files (RHS) usually the last entry is Biological Assembly. Once downloaded you can unzip it and change the file suffix back to pdb e.g. 1AVD.pdb1 ==> 1AVD_1.pdb
Hope this helps Joel _________________________________ Joel Tyndall, PhD Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry National School of Pharmacy University of Otago PO Box 56 Dunedin 9054 New Zealand Skype: jtyndall http://www.researcherid.com/rid/C-2803-2008 Pukeka Matua Te Kura Taiwhanga Putaiao Te Whare Wananga o Otago Pouaka Poutapeta 56 Otepoti 9054 Aotearoa Ph / Waea +64 3 4797293 Fax / Waeawhakaahua +64 3 4797034 -----Original Message----- From: Martin Hediger [mailto:ma....@bluewin.ch] Sent: Wednesday, 4 May 2011 8:00 a.m. To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] Downloading the biological assembly from the PDB 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. The biological assembly would be a tetramer, so I wonder what URL I would require to write into a script that does the downloading. Thanks for help on this.
