BiologicalUnit Note: PyMOL 1.8 can load biological units from mmCIF files with the assembly setting. This script can be used to re-create biological units for proteins. (This was created as a workaround of PyMOL's semi-functioning Symexp command.) It's also a fun script to play with for learning about symmetry. single unit, before running this program after the expansion of the 60 units $Example creating the biological unit for PDB 1RMV created from fiber diffraction.$ Example creating the biological unit for PDB 1RMV created from fiber diffraction.
