- Human deoxy hemoglobin tetramer: ./examples/data/local/4hhb.pdb
- AlphaFold hemoglobin alpha chain: ./examples/data/local/af-p69905.pdb
- The experimental tetramer and AlphaFold chain are both open in ChimeraX.
- The AlphaFold chain is aligned to experimental chain A.
- Named views exist for the assembly overview, the overlay focus, and the exploded comparison.
- A polished overlay export is written successfully.
