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 distorted 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]].
