Hi Abida, thanks for the PDB file that you sent me off-list.
It is a naming conflict, you have more than one chain A which have overlapping residue numbers and even IDs. You can still load them like this: PyMOL> set retain_order PyMOL> load complex.1.pdb PyMOL> as cartoon I also suggest to fix the chain identifier: PyMOL> alter complex.1 and rank 3578-9999, chain="B" PyMOL> util.cbc And for the second file: PyMOL> set retain_order PyMOL> load complex.5.pdb PyMOL> as cartoon PyMOL> alter complex.5 and chain A and rank 1322-9999, chain="C" PyMOL> util.cbc Hope that helps.
