[BiO BB] pdb-l: monomer to trimer

[Eric Martz]

Dear Nikhil,

If the authors specify the trimer in REMARK 350 
in the PDB file header, you can generate it with 
Michael Palmer's MakeMultimer.py server:

http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/cgi-bin/makemultimer/

The output of MakeMultimer names each chain 
differently, and all chains are placed in a 
single model. This makes it easier to use, in 
most common visualization software, than the 
multimers generated as "biological units" at 
rcsb.org, which have each chain in a separate 
model, and give them all the same name (e.g. chain A).

There is an overview of methods for generating 
multimers within FirstGlance in Jmol:
