[Chimera-users] Automate calculation and saving of residues' structural attributes

[André]

Hi Tom,

Oh, I see! Sure, I'm definitely willing to use ChimeraX, given what you
said. I'll send the e-mail to the ChimeraX mailing list, so we can discuss
it there.

Thank you so much for your reply!

André.
