Re: [Chimera-users] Rotating molecules

Hi Eduardo, yes, the command "move" does translations by a specified amount and the command "turn" rotates by a specified amount. Type help move in the command line to see the man page for move, and help turn for the man page for turn. You might also want to take a look at the commands "rock" and "roll" Hope this helps, Elaine =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Elaine C.

Rotating molecules
by Eduardo Perozo 30 Mar '04

Hello, Is there a way to rotate/translate a molecule by a specific amount? Clearly I can do "freehand" rotations with the mouse but I will like to define rotations and translation numerically. Thanks! Eduardo

Re: [Chimera-users] export pdb file
by Elaine Meng 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi Shuanghong, there are two ways to export a PDB file. One is by choosing the "write PDB" function from the Model Panel. The other is by using the "write" command. Each way has an option to save the transformed coordinates or the coordinates relative to the untransformed coordinates of a particular model (take a look at the User's Guide for detailed descriptions). Hope this helps! Elaine =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Elaine C.

Re: [Chimera-users] v1.1917 OpenGL misconfiguration detected.

Got it. The /usr/X11R6/lib/ligGL.so.1 file should have been removed as part of the NVidia driver installation. We just confirmed that with the Red Hat 9 and the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run driver distribution. You had version 53.28, so maybe it was a bug in that driver? We had previous installed NVidia version 43.63 using the same mechanism, so it's probably not a problem with the driver, but something went wrong during the installation. You should uninstall and install that driver again (or just upgrade to the 53.36).

v1.1917 OpenGL misconfiguration detected.
by Pattanayek, Sabuj 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi, Finally got around to installing the latest development linux version. At startup I'm getting the following messages: OpenGL misconfiguration detected. Please reinstall graphics driver. v1.1872 & v1.1892 still work on the machine with no problems. The video card on the machine is nvidia quadro 750 xgl running this driver from nvidia's ftp site: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run I know this is not the latest version of the driver, would upgrading it make a difference? Thanks, ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sabuj Pattanayek Martin Egli Lab Vanderbilt University Dept. Biochemistry http://linegli.mc.vanderbilt.edu

Hi, I remember that Midus can export pdb file, but I cannot find this function in Chimera. Thanks, Shuanghong

Could you please tell me how can I define the secondary structure of the protein i am displaying with chimera. I know the secondary structure of my pdb, so I would like to draw a picture of the protein showing the B sheets and alpha helix in different colors. Thansk a lot!!!

save session stripping TER statements from PDB's
by Pattanayek, Sabuj 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

In version 1.1892 (and older possibly), file > save session seems to be stripping TER statements from PDB files. The TER statement is helpful for specifically telling Chimera and other PDB viewers not to connect consecutive residues in a PDB (for example ATP/water molecules at the end of a PDB that are not part of the main protein chain). Re-inserting TER's manually into the .py file can become cumbersome especially when one PDB insertion in the .py is 27000+ columns long. Would it be possible to fix this in future versions? Thanks in advance, Sabuj Pattanayek
