protein 1b8e says its a dimer by its pdb file info as:
BIOMOLECULE: 1
REMARK 350 AUTHOR DETERMINED BIOLOGICAL UNIT: DIMERIC
REMARK 350 APPLY THE FOLLOWING TO CHAINS: A
REMARK 350 BIOMT1 1 1.00 0.00 0.000.0
REMARK 350 BIOMT2 1 0.00 1.00 0.00
Hi Kanika,
> REMARK 350 AUTHOR DETERMINED BIOLOGICAL UNIT: DIMERIC
It says 'author determined'. It doesn't say how, though. But look at
the following:
# Get the molecule
fetch 1b8e,async=0
# Create a copy
create 1b8e_copy,1b8e
# Color it
color hotpink, 1b8e_copy
# Transform the copy according
Why do you expect PISA to agree with
author assigned biological units?
Read the paper and see if there's a reason
the authors made the assignment.
If you really don't understand why things
might be different, read the intro to the
ProtCID paper.

1BX7...the author determined structure is monomeric..PISA generate dimeric
assembly
REMARK 350 AUTHOR DETERMINED BIOLOGICAL UNIT: MONOMERIC
REMARK 350 APPLY THE FOLLOWING TO CHAINS: A
REMARK 350 BIOMT1 1 1.00 0.00 0.000.0

Hi Kanika,
First of all, please try to phrase your questions in fully written english,
in stead of a phonetic-like writing with lots of abbreviations... It's
sometimes kind of hard to follow. The reason for it, as well as other very
useful hints are expanded on
