This describes how to unfold whole or parts of chains in solved structures using Pymol.

This came up because Adrianna wanted to generate structures derived from hers where parts were unfolded or folded differently. I thought this could very useful for illustrative purposes for many users. For maybe simulating denaturing or other dynamic processes.
This came up because [https://people.chem.umass.edu/cbobst/Members.html Adriana Zeledon] wanted to generate structures derived from her structure of interest where parts were unfolded or folded differently. I thought this could very useful for illustrative or conceptualizing purposes for many users. For maybe simulating denaturing, conformational changes, or other dynamic processes.


Please note this will generate a structure that is just for representational purposes and is not thermodynamically stable. To translate or rotate a chain or parts relative the rest of the structure see [[User:Wayne Decatur/Moving Components or Parts of Structures| my page on moving parts or components of structures using Pymol]].
