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
