Select atom by serial number.
by Jean-Didier Maréchal 11 Jan '07

Hi Everyone, I am desperately trying to select an atom of my pdb by its serial number. Looking at the archives, it seems that I should put something like @/serialNumber=525 I tried sel #0@/serialNumber=525 in the commandl ine and @/serialNumber=525 in the Atom Specifier. None of these selections worked. Can someone tell me the right way to do this, please ? Cheers JD Current running chimera: version 1 build 2309 OS: windows

Chimera benchmarks in both OSX and WinXP on same hardware
by Jeff Speir 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Dear Chimera developers, By request from my lab mates I've run Chimera's built-in benchmark routine under both OSX and Windows XP Pro SP2 for comparison. Attached is an MSWord document with the results. Hope they are useful. Of note, OSX falls behind in the ribbon graphics compared to WinXP, especially with large molecules. The test was done on an Apple Mac Pro (hardware details in attached document) with Windows XP Pro installed via Boot Camp. Both operating systems were fully updated with all available patches. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best Regards, Jeff Jeffrey A. Speir, Ph.D. The Scripps Research Institute Dept. of Molecular Biology 10550 North Torrey Pines Rd.

command line zone selection?
by Kenward Vaughan 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

I'm putting together a demo for my students this next semester, and was hoping to be able to do a zone selection about the ligand. Is this possible with the command line? I haven't been able to pull out a reference for such, yet. Certainly I could pull together the list of residues myself, but thought it'd be nice to have the command available. Some students might like to create a demo file for their reports, and this would become a pivotal tool for a subset of those. If not directly available, then a wishlist addition, perhaps? Something like: zonesel [within|beyond] [+/- angstroms] [atom-spec] where the sign of the angstrom value denotes whether to include (+) or exclude (-) the atoms in atom-spec.
