[chimerax-users] Feature Request From Chimeram

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the kind words!

You may already know this, but ChimeraX does read the BIOMT if you open the structure as PDB format (instead of the default mmCIF).  E.g.

open 1fav format pdb
sym #1 biomt

see <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/sym.html#symmetry>

Best,
Elaine
