Is there a way to separate the chains belong to each Biological assembly in a PDB file?
I want to separate the chain IDs which belong to specific Biological assemblies in a PDB file. As an Example PDB ID 1BRS has 3 Biological assemblies Biological assembly 1 : - chains A and D Biological assembly 2 : - Chains B and E Biological assembly 3 : - chains C and F
Is there a way (python Script) to get the Chain IDs separate which belong to each biological assembly as follows 1BRS_A:D 1BRS_B:E 1BRS_C:F No need to extract the chain coordinates. If I get the chain names, that will be enough. Thanks in advance

You can get biological assembly information from pdb databases(e.g. PDBe, RCSB).

I believe you might be able to do this with
biopython's PDB methods. Alternatively you can do this (GUI or commandline), by hooking in to UCSF Chimera's object model.I don't know of any pre-existing solutions though.
