Re: [PyMOL] naming of chain id

[Folmer F. <fo...@gm...>]

Hi Yeping Sun,

Did you solve your problem?

According to http://www.wwpdb.org/procedure.html#toc_4
"
What is the maximum number of chain IDs in a file?

Up to 62 chains can be included in the PDB entry. Upper case letters and
numbers (0-9) should be used first for chain IDs. Lower case letters should
be used only after all upper letters and numbers have been used. Symbols
should never be used for chain IDs."

you can use numbers and also small letters in the PDB file format.


I don't know if PyMOL will let you do this, though.

Regards,

Folmer
