[chimerax-users] Align Structures at Specific Residues

[Thomas Mulvaney]

Hi Cameron,

Most of the commands work using the ChimeraX atomspec [0], which lets you create selections of parts of a structure.

If for example you are using matchmaker and want to align residues 50-100 of model #1 to model #2 you can do:

‘mm #1:50-100 to #2’ 

Hope that helps,

Tom
