[Chimera-users] Command line syntax questions

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Divita,
I believe you just have to text-edit the PDB file to change the residue number if other atoms already have that same residue number.  As you said, “bond” only adds the bond without changing any numbering.
Best,
Elaine

But the bond function is not changing the residue number of the new molecule (which has a residue number 1), which is causing issues (as there is base #1 in the DNA). So far I am editing the pdb file as a text document like you said, but I was just wondering if there was another way.
