* You don't need a separate parser for each PDB file, you can just use the same parser object and it will return separate structure objects.<br>
</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">* An alternative to using chr on integers would to be to use string.ascii_uppercase</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">* Yes, set_structure() is replacing each structure in turn, so you're only writing out the last structure.</div>

To do this, you'll need to use the detach_parent() and add() methods. Something like this may work:</div>

</div><div>I have a set of different pdbs that I want to merge together into a single file. I would like to take into consideration that there could be issues with the naming, so, after reading a few other posts in this same list, I came up with the following code:</div>

<div> for chain in structure:</div><div> <a href="http://chain.id" target="_blank">chain.id</a> = chr(i_chain)</div><div> i_chain += 1</div><div> io=PDBIO() </div>
<div> for structure in list_of_structures:</div>
<div> io.set_structure(structure)</div><div> io.save(clust_fold+key[:-4]+"_fused.pda")</div><div><br></div><div>This is not working, as I guess i'm just changing the structure set each time I do io.set_structure, and writing the last one. And as there is not such a thing as the append_structure() method I have just tried a silly thing. So my question would be which is the best way to get the pdbs merged? Should I save as independent unfold entities and then write them by using a Select class?</div>
