Maybe

sort_chains(imol)

is what you want.

Additionally or alternatively, change the order or the SSBOND or LINK header records.

HTH.

Dear Folmer,

Thank you for your answer. Only one out several chains is bound to a ligand in the structure, the aim is to convert the ligand-bound chain into chain A after suggestion of a reviewer. When I open the pdb file on a text editor I expect this chain to be listed before the other chains, which doesn't happen. Also, I when I display the sequence of the protein in pymol I expect to see chain A at the beginning, which doesn't happen once the file is converted to cif.

Best,
Christian

Dear Christian

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?


I don't quite follow why you would expect the atom positions to change?
Unless I'm missing something?
Also, why would you expect the numbering to change when you edit the chain ID?

After CIF conversion:
What do you mean by "original position"? What position where you expecting?

And you mention that chain A is not at the beginning of the sequence. What sequence are you talking about?

Coot or pdbset can definitely do want you want, I'm just not sure what exactly you're after.

Perhaps a more elaborate explanation would be good?

Best regards
Folmer Fredslund

    Hello,
    I'm trying to swap the chain IDs of a structure. I tried changing
    the IDs in coot and with PDBset, both change labels of the chains
    but not the atom positions nor numbering.Also, after the pdb file
    is converted to cif for deposition it displays in pymol in the
    original position making chain A not to be at the beginning of
    the sequence. I would appreciate if you would suggest a good way
    to achieve this. The structure is otherwise finished and will no
    go any other rounds of refinement. Thanks

    Christian
