Hidden water molecules
by Michael Sharkey 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi I'm trying to visualise water molecules associated with the crystal structure of an enzyme (specifically PDB ID: 1C1D). They're listed when I open the pdb as a text file using WordPad, but I can't for the life of me get them to appear on the screen when I try to visualise the structure in Chimera (v. 1.10.2). What am I missing? Thanks in advance Mike --

Constrainted fitting
by Christoph Wigge 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Dear all, I would like to fit two protein monomers that form a dimer into an em density map. I know from previous mutagenesis studies that the binding takes place with two tryptophan residues and the counterpart binding pocket. How can I set this interaction as fixed so that chimera fits the rest of the molecule according to the density map without continuously changing this part of the essential protein protein interaction? I would like to fit that interaction manually and then exclude it from the automatic procedure. Thank you very much in advance. Bests Christoph Wigge

Mutation in Chimera
by Islam, Tanzila 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hi I am learning Chimera and I have gone through soe online tutorials. The tutorials showed how to introduce point mutation by Rotamers command. But it only allows to replace 1 ammino acid residue at a time. I want to insert 4-5 ammino acid residues in a gap of a sequence. Is there any standard procedure, command in Chimera that will let me do this type of residue insertion? This is really crucial for my research work. Thanks Tanzila Islam Graduate Student Washington State University

Showing color key programatically colouring from a volume...
by Pablo Conesa 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

Dear all We have this simple script to open a volume (#0) coloured using values from a second volume (#1): open betaGal.mrc open extra/MG_Chimera_resolution.vol volume #1 voxelSize 3.54 vol #1 hide scolor #0 volume #1 cmap rainbow reverseColors True For scolor command we are using a volume. https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html#volume It would be nice to achieve something like this at start up (note the color key is based on the volume): I've did it dragging the mouse over the canvas while "Color key" utility is open. And, is there a posibility to round up the values. Some kind of: Psaudocode: Give the resulting color key for each round values display the color key I guess that if there is a way to get the color key, then rest can be done through commands. Cheers, Pablo.

Hi Chimera dev, Following on from this post back from 2009: http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-January/003514.html <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-January/003514.html> How would one also split map in this python script? Thanks! Kyle

Re: [Chimera-users] Chimera-users Digest, Vol 164, Issue 26

I might be able to offer a bit of help here, the Chimera team and Jaime helped me with basically this exact problem. I have a script here https://github.com/jrjhealey/bioinfo-tools/blob/master/strucfit.py that you could take from. You'll probably want to look specifically at lines 216-240. (Note - you'll also need to look at the relevant module imports for match and pychimera etc. The script will need Jaime's implementation of pychimera too (he's super helpful!) https://github.com/insilichem/pychimera The script gives output as below, as the script automatically finds the best matching PDB file (that's what the first 150 lines or so is looking for), there is additional information there. Best Model I'm Hit Comparing RMSD Assorted homology metrics 2k4r PAK_01796_model5.pdb 2.81843275676 37.5 13 0.00035 21.5 2k4r PAK_01796_model4.pdb 12.6869844869 37.5 13 0.00035 21.5 2k4r PAK_01796_model3.pdb 14.4133021316 37.5 13 0.00035 21.5 2k4r PAK_01796_model1.pdb 0.459177533295 37.5 13 0.00035 21.5 2k4r PAK_01796_model2.pdb 15.1861411912 37.5 13 0.00035 21.5 Hope that's useful!

Crossfade and disp
by Daniel Asarnow 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hello Chimera experts, Here is another movie making question. I noticed that disp and ~disp trigger frames to be recorded, without a call to wait. For example: disp #2 movie crossfade 25 ~disp #2 disp #3 This would produce a movie that crossfades from model #2 to blank, with #3 suddenly appearing. To get crossfades between two ligands, I had to use: disp #2 movie crossfade 25 perframe "~disp #2" frames 1 disp #3 movie crossfade 25 Based on the documentation I wasn't sure if this was intended behavior or a bug. Did I miss a more elegant way to crossfade between two models? Thanks, -da
