Sir, will just merging together two pdb files that work? What I want
is to have another pdb file, which will be have the two protein
molecules simultaneously, so that I can directly use the single file,
instead of the two files. Wont it also be necessary to modify the
numbering of the atoms and molecules etc? I dont think these can be
achieved by simply using cat.

Sincerely

Dibyadeep
