Did you know... Flatten obj Type Python Script Download flatten_obj.py Author(s) Spencer Bliven License Public Domain This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Description The flatten_obj python script combines multiple objects or states into a single object, renaming chains where required. This is particularly useful for dealing with biological assemblies, which are loaded as multi-state objects when fetched using fetch PDBID, type=pdb1. It can also be used as a quick way to combine multiple objects without causing collisions between chain identifiers. The command re-letters chains to avoid collisions. Older versions of PyMOL restrict the chain id to a single character, so the script will fail for assemblies with >62 chains. With more recent versions, this problem is solved with multi-character chain IDs. Several options are available for how re-lettering should occur. Usage flatten_obj name, selection[, state[, rename[, quiet[, chain_map]]]] Arguments name = a unique name for the flattened ..→
