one extra programming question: imagine now in my pdb I have severals chain which I would like to rename to blank chain.
I can do it simply like this # a case for 3 chains to be renamed #!/bin/bash pdb="my.pdb" output=$(pwd) pymol -c -d " cmd.load('${pdb}') cmd.alter('(chain A)', 'chain=\"\"') cmd.alter('(chain B)', 'chain=\"\"') cmd.alter('(chain C)', 'chain=\"\"') cmd.save('${output}/output.pdb','all') " or for multi-chain protein I can alternatively create external loop, thus running pymol 3 times iteratively (which is not good realization) providin array info from external shell session # this example save 7 different pdbs renaming one chain in each of them #!/bin/bash pdb="my.pdb" output=$(pwd) chains_arrays=( A B C D E F G ) for i in "$chains_array[@]}"; do pymol -c -d " cmd.load('${pdb}') cmd.alter('(chain $i)', 'chain=\"\"') cmd.save('${output}/output_$i.pdb','all') " done would it be possible rather to make an array and loop inside the pymol to rename all chains into the blank chain during one execution of pymol?
