[Chimera-users] Saving multiple identical PDB in a single file with unique chain ID

[Ahmad Abdelzaher]

Thanks a lot for trying to help. I did exactly just that, the option you
described renames duplicate chains in the structure, however, in my
structure, there are no duplicate chains. There's an A and a B chain. When
I copy combine, I get another structure with A and B as well. I want the
second structure to have C and D instead, i.e. a unique chain ID that is
different from the original model's chain.
