[PyMOL] Iterative Magic Fit - Why not?

[Shivender S. <sh...@ma...>]

Hi All,

Is there any possibility that Pymol may have the ability to "intelligently"=
 superimpose two(or more) structures, without requiring the user to fiddle =
with selecting exactly the same number of atoms/residues. The "align" comma=
nd fails pathetically in many instances, case in point, try aligning (or fi=
tting) 3HCK and 2SRC.

In this scenario, DeepView (Swiss PDB Viewer) excels fantastically. Just se=
lect "Magic Fit" or "Iterative Magic Fit" from the "Fit" menu, then select =
the structures and alignment level from a simple drop down menu and viola! =
I wonder how they do it. (And lament that DeepView is no longer being devel=
oped).

Apologies for sounding so trollish!

Best,
Shiven
