Hello, I was wondering if the developers have considered creating an application of Chimera for the iPhone or iPad? If not, they should :) Thank you, Derick Davis

Map's Box size
by יוכבד 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi Can I please get your help with map resizing. I have a map with a box size 250,269,108. To run a map fitting script I need the map to have a cubic size. Using the volume viewer- Region min max step x - I was able to play with the box size the problem is I can't get the entire map into a cubic box (Z axis is to small). Is there a way to enlarge the box on the Z axis? Thank you Yocheved

Thermal ellipsoids are not updated when playing multi-frame PDB trajectory
by Lukasz Walewski 01 Apr '11

Hi, I am looking at the trajectory with thermal anisotropy factors that change from frame to frame, i.e. I have a multi-frame PDB file that contains ATOM and ANISOU records. The components of the anisotropy tensors change during the simulation (the data I am analyzing has a redefined meaning). I am able to properly read and play the trajectory. Ellipsoid representation of the thermal U factors works excellent for a single frame. However it seems that the ellipsoids are not updated when I play the trajectory, i.e. the atoms move as expected but the ellipsoids retain both their positions and shape from the first frame. Is there any way around ? In any case I find Chimera wonderful software that I came upon only recently. Thanks guys for developing it! With best regards, Lukasz
