[Biopython] adding multiple models to one PDB

[Hongbo Zhu 朱宏博]

Hi, Patrick,

if you just want to visualized the aligned structures, you can load them
one by one in PyMOL. Merging them as different models in one PDB is not
necessary. Perhaps it is even not optimal: you have to "split" the models
in PyMOL if you want to view them all.
You can open multiple PDB files in the same directory using PyMOL by typing:
pymol *.pdb

You can also align structures within PyMOL. Several methods are available:

cheers,
