Dear Romain,

I already ask this question to someone of the pdb staff during a deposition process, and he answer me that it is an in house program and they don't distribute theirs in house programs, so if this direction hit your mind, you can forget it directly.

Hello to the CCP4 bulletin board community,

I would like to know if I could find a tool to automatically assign HETATM atom (or even, water molecules) to the nearest protein chain ?

In my case, I have 4 protein chains in the asymmetric unit : A, B, C and D. I would like to assign each ions and each ligands (which are numerous) with the chain letter of the nearest residue that coordinate them.
Usually, I rename everything by hand but as the in-house program of the PDBe AutoDep deposition tool automatically do that...

I beg your pardon if this question has just been posted here. I didn't find any tool either in the CCP4 Suite or in the "Extensions" and "Calculate" menus of the Coot program (v0.7).

Best regards.

Romain Talon
