Hi, I am a new user of chimera and I already have a question. I have an protonated aspartic acid in my protein and I was wondering, is it possible to add hydrogen atom to aspartic acid with chimera? Thanks Virginie

'a' could be a class rather than an instance. For example, help(chimera.Atom) lists the methods/attributes of Atom and provides some info about them. We do what we can to keep the programmer's guide up to date, but for attributes (since they get added/changed pretty frequently) it is better to query with help()/dir() than to fall back on the relatively static programmer's guide documentation. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu

Hi. Is it possible to flip the hand of a cryo-EM map in chimera ? Best wishes, Stefan Bäckström Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics Umeå University Sweden
