Fuse fuse joins two objects into one by forming a bond. A copy of the object containing the first atom is moved so as to form an approximately reasonable bond with the second, and is then merged with the first object. Usage fuse [ selection1 [, selection2 [, mode [, recolor [, move ]]]]] Arguments selection1 = str: single atom selection (will be copied to object 2) {default: (pk1)} selection2 = str: single atom selection {default: (pk2)} mode = int: {default: 0} mode=0: mode=1: adopt segi/chain/resn`resi mode=2: adopt segi/chain mode=3: don't move and don't create a bond, just combine into single object recolor = bool: recolor C atoms to match target {default: 1} move = bool: {default: 1} Example Phosphorylate a serine residue: fetch 1ubq, async=0 fragment phosphite remove phosphite & elem H fuse phosphite & elem P, /1ubq///65/OG, mode=1 delete phosphite show sticks, resi 65 orient resi 65 unpick Notes Each selection must include a single atom in each ..→
