[Chimera-users] when will NoResidueRotamersError be raised?

[Elaine Meng]

Wow, I don't know what my problem is today!  That link should have been to the Model Panel documentation:

<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html>

The only other thing I can think of that you might have meant is that your proteins were two different chains in the same model.  In that case, you would include the chain ID in the specification, as in my earlier example.

In Chimera, we just use that word to mean a structure with atomic coordinates, which could be from experiments (crystallography, NMR, etc. such as entries in the Protein Data Bank) or calculations (protein structure prediction, etc.). Essentially each structure file you open becomes one model:
