Distance restrais directly from chimera

Hello direx-crew,
is it possible to use the output of chimera distance measurements directly as distance restain in direx?

Hi,

there is no direct way to do this, but this is a good idea. Chimera writes out the list of distances in this format:

Model #0 is snare.pdb

Distance information
1 GLU 52 CD <-> ASP 41 CG: 15.672

One would need to convert the atom identifiers to just atom numbers. DireX needs the distance restraints in the format:

1
234 344 15.672 1.00 1.00

I can write a small bash script to do this. Give me some time, I let you know when I have it.

Gunnar
