[modeller_usage] Reading in a model with multiple chains?

[Patrice Peterson <>]

Hello,

I have created a number of dimeric decoys and wish to create a consensus 
structure. However, I'd like to omit a few residues fom the respective 
N- and C-termini of both chains, because they are disordered and would 
only get in the way of evaluating the clusters. Basically, I'd like 
something like this:

  OOMMMMMMOO/OOMMMMMMOO

in which 'O' means the residue should be omitted, and 'M' means it 
should be included.

I know I can use the model_segment argument to complete_pdb() or 
model.read() to select a range of residues when loading a model, but is 
there a way to read in a *non-contiguous* range of amino acids, as in my 
example?

Or should I just create a new set of decoys without the residues in 
question (the ones labeled 'O' in the crude sketch above)?

Thanks in advance!
Patrice Peterson
