[Chimera-users] measure symmetry

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Reggie,

  I used the following Chimera commands to create an icosahedral cage for virus capsid 2xyz and density map for full capsid, image attached.

	Tom

open 2xyz
rainbow chain
sym #0 surf true

# Used Tools / Higher-Order Structure / Icosahedron Surface to figure out orientation is n25r (no sym on x, 2-fold on y, 5-fold on z, with extra rotation).

shape icos radius 400 orient n25r lattice 2,1 color blue linewidth 5
molmap #0 10 sym i,n25r
