[Chimera-users] Problem Saava9ng merged PDB Files

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Stephen,
Probably you just need to combine the ligand and receptor into a single model before saving to a PDB file, instead of saving the two models to a single multimodel PDB file.  This is usually the problem when you want to use some other program afterward for ligand-receptor analysis, and I see that your file has two models in it instead of a single model with both receptor and ligand.

For example, see instructions in this recent post on how to combine the models before saving:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
