Thanks for the response, David! You can fetch biological assemblies from the PDB using `fetch PDBID, type=pdb1` (or the PDB Loader Service plugin). This gives you the proper oligomeric state, rather than just the asymmetric unit. However, since it can potentially have chains from multiple

One possible reason for this behavior would be code that assumes atom IDs are unique. In fact, both the ID and the state are required to uniquely identify an atom. This would be consistent with some other problems I've observed when working with multi-state objects, such as the fact that cartoon

Hey, I've been doing a lot of work with PDB assemblies, which are distributed as multi-state structures. I would like to be able to align them based on individual chains from individual states. However, I haven't been able to figure out any way to uniquely identify atoms by state. The select

I'm a little confused by what PDB assemblies you are talking about that are distributed as multi-state structures, but assuming they are similar to NMR models... you can use intra_fit ( http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Intra_fit ) For example, with 2kgx, we start out with chain a in state 1 and
