Volume Eraser: Recentering the eraser
by Mohan Sudabattula 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hello, My name is Mohan Sudabattula, I am fairly new at using Chimera so please excuse my lack of understanding the program. I am currently utilizing the Volume Eraser tool and am trying to employ it erase the internal structure of a viral capsid. Upon opening the Volume Eraser it always seems to orient itself to the "frontmost face of the current display region". This is problematic because it is now only partially erasing what I am needing to be erased. Instead I am looking to have it oriented so that it is in the center of my virus. Is there any way to reorient the eraser so that this may be the case? Thank you! Mohan Sudabattula confirm e2a44c6a1c2aa9063cccd37bee44a9add15bde48

Could I ask some questions about Chimera?

Hi developers of Chimera, My name is Archeries Ye. I'm a undergraduate from Zhejiang University. These days I have been learning Protein Structure Prediction, and according to my advisor's suggestion, I'm going to study the protein structure prediction function of Chimera. I searched information of Chimera, but unfortunately have not got enough. I wonder if you could spare some time for my questions? 1. Which prediction algorithm does Chimera adapt? Is it independent from protein structure databases? And is it feasible to change the conformation by changing the electric charge of atoms? 2. Could the source code of Chimera be shared for uncommercial use? Thank you for spending your valuable time reading my letter. I will really appreciate for any reply from you. Archeries
