  <p>I have my own, annotated PyMOL session of my protein and I also have .pdbs of crystallised antibody structures that bind to this protein and rougly know whereabouts it binds. I would like to know if it is possible to combine these two structures into a single session to observe or at least overlay the two structures together. Many thanks!</p>

  1. Open the PyMOL session.
  2. Use the `load` command to load your PDB file(s): `load file.pdb`.
  3. Use the `align` or `super` commands to overlay structures, e.g. `align prot1, prot2`.
