Re: [PyMOL] Downloading the biological assembly from the PDB

[Thomas H. <sp...@us...>]

Hi Martin,

you may also consider these scripts from PyMOLWiki that generate the 
biological assembly from the asymmetric unit.

http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/BiologicalUnit/Quat
or
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/BiologicalUnit

Cheers,
