[Chimera-users] Total number of atoms in all submodels

[Cruz, Phil (NIH/NIAID) [C]]

Dear Chimera users,

When I fetch a biological unit into Chimera from PDB, the symmetry related units are placed into separate submodels.  I would like to find the total number of atoms in all submodels that make up the biological unit within a python script.

Constructs (and variations that I've tried) such as the following only give the number of atoms in each sub model:

numAtoms = len(openModels.list(modelTypes=[Molecule])[0].atoms)

Is there some way to get the grand total of atoms?

Alternatively, if the script could find the total number (or list) of the submodels, I could probably still handle it.

My example is the virus capsid 1ej6.

Thanks for any suggestions.
