[chimerax-users] Superimposition of Carbohydrate Molecules

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Rajarshi Roy,
The command in ChimeraX to match small molecules is “align” (not “match,” which is the same as “matchmaker” and works for biopolymers).

<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/align.html>

The error message is wrong!  Sorry about that, we will fix it.  I guess the error message was copied from Chimera to ChimeraX without updating the wording.

Apologies for the inconvenience.   
Best,
Elaine
