[chimerax-users] matchmaker question: restrict moving parts to selection?

[Vorländer,Matthias Kopano]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to align parts of a model to another while only moving the specified residues but not the rest of the molecule? A use case would be having an alphafold model from one species where the individual domains are correctly predicted, but don't agree with the relative orientation of the domains observed in a reference structure from another species. I envision this similar to the  "fitmap" option "moveWholeMolecule false".

Example:

Mm #1:100-200 to #2/100-200 MoveWholeMolecule false

This should leave the residues 1-99 in model #1 unchanged.

I hope my question is clear. Thanks a lot in advance,

Matthias
