[chimerax-users] Specify unmodelled residues

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Matt,
Sorry no, I do not.  However, I just did a websearch on it out of curiosity and got the following, which I have not tried. 

<http://sequenceconversion.bugaco.com/converter/biology/sequences/fasta_to_pdb-seqres.php>

I don't see how to do it with the top part of the page (PDB seqres isn't one of the output choices as far as I can tell,) but the bottom part of the page explains how to do it with biopython.  Caveat emptor since I don't know if works.  :-)

Best,
Elaine
