[Chimera-users] How to find symmetry parameters for icosahedral molecule

[Haselbach, David]

Hi everyone,

sorry to ask such a basic question. I have a cryo EM density map 3.2 A of a icosahedral molecule and I already build the model of the monomer. I would like to place the remaining 59 copies and calculate the BioMT matrix for it. I started playing around with the sym command, but I couldn't get it working nicely. It's probably a problem of the coordinate system, but I couldn't figure it out. Than I thought there must be an automatic way and I tried Multifit but also this failed me miserably as the runs fail continuously with "stderr".  So I was wondering is there a protocol to do this?

Already thank you for any suggestions,

David
