torsion angles to x,y,z coordinate
by Chinh Su Tran To 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Dear Chimera users, I obtained some dihedral angles around some rotatable bonds of my molecule's conformations. I used GA to get new sets of those torsions, now I need to convert them back to x,y,z coordinates (new conformations) Is it possible to do that in Chimera? Please help. Thank you. Chinh

internal coordinates (z-matrix) in chimera
by Chinh Su Tran To 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi, I have some results after running docking from DOCK. I'd like to obtain information of internal coordinates (bond, angle, torsion OR z-matrix). Could anyone please give me any suggestion how to do that in Chimera? Or if possible, please suggest me some references that can help me find it out. I have bunch of conformations, so I may not use the gui. Thank you. Chinh

Hi I have a strange problem with Chimera 1.7. My computer (Windows 7 64 bit) just had Microsoft updates last night and now Chimera does not see any drives but C and D. I usually use files on virtual drives E, etc. I tried rebooting, reinstalling Chimera but it is still the same problem. Any suggestions? Larry

Re: [Chimera-users] show alpha-carbon as sphere in chimera

Alpha-carbon for some reason doesn't show by itself. Thanks a lot. > Best, > Feixia Hi Feixia, Maybe you are also displaying ribbon. By default when the ribbon is shown, the alpha-carbon will not show. You can allow showing both ribbon and alpha-carbon with command: ribbackbone <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribbackbone.html> However, you can see the "real" position of the alpha-carbon is not exactly on the ribbon. Sometimes it will seem to float away, and the image might not look good. That is because the default ribbon is a smooth interpolation. Possible ways to handle this issue: (a) don't show ribbon (b) make the alpha-carbon sphere(s) big enough and/or change the viewing angle so it is not obviously floating away from the ribbon. Whether this is possible depends on which positions you are displaying and the specific backbone conformation in those areas. (c) change the ribbon from the default B-spline to cardinal spline, with or without some compromise smoothing, for example with commands: ribspline cardinal ribspline cardinal smooth strand <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribspline.html> More discussion/explanation of this issue: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/ribbonstyle/ribbon…> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Fwd: Re: Version 1.7 on linux
by Greg Couch 19 Mar '13

(Forgot to reply to list as well.) Hi Austin, What's your alias? chimera should *not* be on your PATH, it expects to find its version of various system libraries. Instead put a symbolic link to CHIMERA/bin/chimera in one of the directories on your PATH. Not sure what you mean about two threads, a screenshot would help.
