[chimerax-users] Importing pdb structures from OPM

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Prathvi,
There is no OPM fetch -- instead you go to the OPM database website and download the file(s) that you want onto your computer.  Then you use "open" to open a local PDB file.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

I see in: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#fetch that we can fetch data from various sources but OPM was not listed there. If this were possible, we could directly import membrane protein structures from OPM which have dummy residues that can be used to define membrane boundaries via the define plane command.
