FW: Chimera [viewer] for iOS in the future?
by Williams, Joanne 05 Nov '18

From: Bryan Crawford <bryanc(a)unb.ca> Date: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 at 3:53 PM To: "chimera(a)cgl.ucsf.edu" <chimera(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: Chimera [viewer] for iOS in the future? Hello, I use Chimera occasionally in my research, and extensively for teaching (biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology). It is now the only remaining piece of software I use that requires me to bring a laptop computer to class. For everything else (PDFs, animations, Keynote presentations, etc.) I can use my iPad which connects by AirPlay to the projector, and screencast everything using Doceri. Furthermore, the touch-screen interface of the iPad seems ideally suited for many of the analyses and/or molecular renderings people use Chimera for. So I’m wondering if there are any plans to produce either a full or partial version (perhaps with only viewing capabilities) of Chimera that runs on iOS? If there is, I would be very happy to help with beta testing. If not, can I ask if you can recommend any software that runs on iOS that I might consider?

Automating H bond distance retrieval
by Samuel FreemanFox 01 Nov '18

Hi, I was wondering about the possibility of writing a setup.com file which is capable of opening a receptor.pdb and ligand.pdb file, locating the H-bonds between these two structures and then reporting back the lengths of the bonds? Currently I am able to open both files, execute addh, addcharge, and hbonds with my setup.com file. However I am unsure of how to proceed from there. Many thanks and I look forward to your response.

Batch Processing of Molecular Attributes
by Benjamin Feinsilver 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello, Is it possible to pass a CSV file to Chimera containing a list of SMILEs, then output their molecular attributes in a new CSV file? For example, volume, surface area, the number of surface points with positive electrostatic potential, and the energy of the molecule's current 3D conformation. If so, would you please let me know how I would accomplish this? Thanks, Ben
