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
Hi Archeries, Chimera does not predict protein structure. Maybe you are looking at the Modeller interface in Chimera? <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/mo...> Modeller is from a different group, and it is covered by a different license agreement. For literature references and licensing information, see the Modeller website. <http://www.salilab.org/modeller/> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
