[chimerax-users] Accessing Chain IDs

[Tristan Croll]

Hi Diana,

If m​ is your model, then the list of polymeric chain IDs is m.chains.chain_ids​. If you want all​ chain IDs including those containing only ligands/water, try m.residues.unique_chain_ids​.

Best regards,
Tristan

Hi team! I have what I hope is an easy question. I'm accessing ChimeraX commands via python script, and I need a list of the Chain IDs. I'm currently getting the number of chains using the num_chains property. I've done quite a bit of digging through documentation and can only find ways to rename, or view interfaces, but I can't seem to find any specific command to list them. I feel as though it must be so basic, no one has needed to ask. :)




Thanks for your help,
Diana Lee
