I can't create a group containing peptide and oligo chains #140

If I try to create a group of the following:

I get this error message.

It should be possible to create a group from different simple polymer types. (That was the original purpose of groups)

scilligence commented 6 years ago

No you cannot. If yes, the monomer position in the group will be a problem. e.g. if you see position 1, it is hard to find which monomer this is. And the same when using a monomer symbol.

TianhongZhang commented 6 years ago

Why do you want to put two connected chains into a group? They are covalently linked already. Groups are meant to put separate chains together and you can define their ratios.

ClairePA commented 6 years ago

OK, but you can't group unconnected chains either.

ClairePA commented 6 years ago

You can create a group from unconnected or unconnected chains by creating individual groups for each chain and then grouping the groups.

This is the better way of solving the problem, therefore this issue should be closed.
