MD simulation
by Suda Ravindran 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Dear list, I am new to MD simulation, so please forgive me.. I am working on membrane proteins and would like to know if Chimera can be used to do MD simulation right from scratch. If yes, can you guide me on how to do it for a protein in (a) free state (i.,e., only with the protein of interest) and (b) protein docked with its ligand... please help me out..!! Best, Suda

going through saved scenes

Friends, I save several scenes with 'scene name 01, scene name 02' etc. I wanted to go through the saved scenes one by one and record a movie. But i dnt know how to do it. Please enlighten me on this. I tried fly command to go through the scenes in succession with 'fly 01 02 03' but it throws me the following error IndexError: list index out of range File "/home/cbala/.local/UCSF-Chimera-2012-01-12/share/Fly/fly.py", line 73, in view_parameters for mid,xf in positions[pnames[0]][5].items(): Thanks, -- C.

Re: [Chimera-users] Measure relative orientation of molecules

Hi Ed, Yeah for chains A and B in a single PDB file use match :.A :.B move false show true which will report in the reply log Motion from original file coordinates Matrix rotation and translation 0.86421485 0.50312170 -0.00112044 0.02930667 -0.50311880 0.86421463 0.00213137 0.02433383 0.00204064 -0.00127825 0.99999710 48.44760893 Axis -0.00338844 -0.00314144 -0.99998932 Axis point -0.30430942 0.18590569 0.00000000 Rotation angle (degrees) 30.20700574 Shift along axis -48.44726749 This requires a Chimera daily build http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#daily since the 1 year old production release (1.5.3) does not allow matching two parts of the same molecule. The above will only work if chains A and B have identical atoms. If they differ in any way you can try specifying equivalent sets of atoms, for example CA only, "match :.A@CA :.B@CA move false show true". If the sequences differ then you will need to use MatchMaker and it still requires two separate models and you could use two copies of the same PDB file.

It is described as a 3x3 rotation matrix and a translation (4th column of above matrix). And it is equivalently described as an axis, point on the axis, rotation angle and shift along the axis. The command will also show in the graphics window the axis of rotation for this latter specification. Unfortunately there is not an option to express this rotation in the map coordinate system which is probably what you are interested in. Here's a way to do that though. Fit the first molecule in the map. Then write out that PDB file using the map coordinates using Chimera menu File / Save PDB... with the "Relative to model mymap.mrc" option enabled. Now close that fit molecule and open the saved PDB. It has the same coordinate system as the map. Open a second copy of that PDB and fit it in another position in the map. Then use the "measure rotation #1 #2" command (can be shortened to "me rot #1 #2"). I'll see if I can easily add an option to the measure rotation command to report the result in the map coordinate system. Tom

minimization using python

Hello, I am using python to go through all the files in a directory and minimize them using chimera. But the problem is I get and error when I try to minimize a file having Br. I have a lot of files in that directory. So is there any way by which I can skip the file that has error and go onto the next file? Any suggestion would br greatly appreciated.
