Multifit waiting too long for Opal server response
by André Graça 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi, I am using Multifit for the first time and wondering if a few hours are not long enough to wait for a server response. The task panel shows from the beginning the status as 'waiting for response from Opal server'. I read on the paper (2011) about Multifit that "The typical running time is about 20 min for assemblies with tens of thousands of atoms", which is the case. I wonder if it is not running yet and it is queued in the server, or if it takes a long time depending on anything that I might have set up wrongly. Could anyone help me to figure this out? Thank you, André Graça

i am using MD movie to cluster my Molecular Dynamics results. how can i know the cut-off used by chimera to do this? i know that it depends on the data itself, but how can i know this cut-off for specific data? Thanks

Conversion of Chimera session .py file to Pymol .pse file
by Joanna Smietanska 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Dear UMSF Chimera Users, I would like to ask how to convert Chimera session .py file into .pse Pymol format? I have a few saved Chimera sessions, my approach was to save protein coordinates in .pdb format and subsequently read them in Pymol 2.0 to save as Pymol session, but during this procedure all informations about specific colouring of chains and other settings are lost. May I ask about possibilities for direct import Chimera .py files into Pymol without losing saved settings? I would be very grateful for any help and advice. Best regards, Joanna Smietanska

Molecular dynamics
by Сергей Владимиров 01 Jun '20

Good day! My name is Sergei Vladimirov, I'm a student at Moscow State University. As far as I know, when running a molecular dynamics of ligand-protein interaction one must use different force fields to the ligand and the protein. There is a mm14ff to calculate interactions within a protein but there are only two different force fields to calculate interactions within a ligand. I've been led into believing that the best ff for small organic ligands is GAFF. So my question is, is there any way to implement the GAFF force field into the production of molecular dynamics? Is there anything I'm missing? I will be awaiting your reply. Best regards, Sergei Vladimirov.
