this is of course possible with PyMOL, try this: pdbid, chain = '1a00', 'A' cmd.fetch(pdbid, async=0) cmd.symexp('__neighbors', pdbid, pdbid + ' and chain ' + chain, 5.0) print 'Number:', len(cmd.get_object_list('(__neighbors*)')) cmd.delete('__neighbors*') cmd.delete(pdbid)

I know, in PyMOL using 'symexp' possible to generate symmetry related molecules for a given crystal structure. But I'm looking for some program/software (for batch) by which I can find out the number of symmetry related molecules (distance cutoff<= 5A) interacting with a given chain in a crystal structure. Thanking you, suku NIBIO, Osaka
