Could you please help me with this issue ? > Thanks a lot !! > Regards > Ruchika Hi Ruchika, Assuming you are using Chimera, we recommend sending such questions to chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu (CC'd here) or else they may fall through the cracks. It doesn't make sense to me that you would need to show the sidechain. I can only guess that maybe you're showing ribbon and that is causing the confusion. If you are showing ribbon, you cannot see or select the alpha-carbon with the mouse, because ribbon normally hides the backbone atoms. If you select the ribbon it selects the whole residue. If you want to show backbone atoms at the same time as ribbon, use command "ribbackbone" or alternatively, just hide the ribbon, and then show whatever atoms you want. Select only the CA and then change it to sphere. Explanation of "ribbackbone" <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribbackbone.html> Example commands: open 1gcn ribbackbone show :5@CA repr sphere :5@CA I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Backbone RMSD
by Zhang, Bixia 18 Sep '20

Hi, I am trying to get the backbone RMSD between two structures. However I tried selecting backbone and use matchmaker, it gives me same value with the whole protein. So there must be something wrong. Could you please teach me a command that can do this? Thank you so much for helping! Best, Bixia

Dear Edmund, Elaine is completely right about everything. This interface was first developed for our lab for our own needs (training, short MD and Teaching) then we work with the Chimera’s team to make it look the way it looks today (a lot better than the initial shot). It can do a lot of things but in its actual state it remains a simple tool for first insights on the system and not necessarily convenient for all systems (especially if you look for large systems with long MDs). Typical time scale of MDs in today standards are difficult to performe with this interface. The main application we make of it is on small molecules and for teaching purposes it is fantastic. You could eventually look look for short MDs on a complex protein-ligand but I would reckon to go for standard MD drivers. We did not continue on this project because ChimeraX, that already integrates openMM, was about to be relased.

Molecular Dynamics
by Edmund Marinelli 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hello: Very new to Chimera and to modeling in general. 1.) Does the Molecular Dynamics Tool allow simulation of a protein ligand complex? 2.) Does a protein ligand docking pose generated by Autodock, for example, qualify as a 'model' that can be read by the MD Tool and be employed in a MD run? Is there a comprehensive tutorial or manual discussing in detail the setting of MD run within Chimera? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Edmund R Marinelli, PhD

measurement of arc-length (geodesic distance) between atoms on a protein surface?
by Wiener, Michael C (mcw2s) 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

New subscriber here, with a question about whether Chimera currently can measure arc-length (geodesic distance) between atoms on a protein surface (or, for example, generate a Calpha-Calpha distance matrix of this). I am (very) interested in measuring/obtaining distances between pairs of Calpha carbons (or pairs of other atoms, I suppose) of different amino acids that are on the surface of a protein. While the difference between arc-length (geodesic) distance and cartesian/Euclidean distance will be negligible if, for example, the two solvent-exposed Calpha atoms are on the same solvent-exposed face of an alpha-helix, the difference could be significant for residues on opposite “sides” of the protein. I did see that there are ways in Chimera to get distances between an atom and a molecular surface, or to place markers on the surface & obtain the lengths between these for a distance, but I am VERY interested in whether one can simply select two atoms and get the arc-length (geodesic) distance or generate an arc-length (geodesic distance) matrix of all surface-exposed Calpha pairs. Several computational methods have been developed for this sort of thing, via graph theoretical or other approximation method, and have been published (Hall et al., Biophysical Chemistry 190-191 [2014] 50-55). However, I have not yet (?) found this to be in any graphics/analysis program. I’m thinking that this could perhaps be useful to someone besides me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My lab and I are (much) more on the user side than the developer side, so are not currently well-positioned to code it in-lab. Regards, -MW (btw, if anyone in the “Chimera Group” wants to know more about why I am interested in this, don’t hesitate to send me an email. This type of distance calculation is related to some experimental technology/assay development that we are doing.) ----- Michael C. Wiener.

generate helical symmetry mates around an axis
by sadeem ahmad 17 Sep '20

17 Sep '20

Hi all, I am trying to generate a helical trimer from the monomer pdb around a central double-stranded RNA. The rise and twist are 46 A and 74.0 deg respectively. I opened my monomer pdb in chimera *(Screenshot-0)* and used the following command to generate an axis around the central RNA double helix: *define axis #0:.X,.Y* where X and Y are the chain IDs for the 2 RNA strands This command helped me generate an axis named *a1* along the RNA duplex *(Screenshot-1)*. Now I want to generate a helical trimer along the RNA duplex with rise=46A and twist=74deg. For this I used the command: *sym #0 group H,46,74,3 axis a1* However, it is not placing the symmetric copies around axis a1 but around a distant axis *(Screenshot-2)*. I am not sure how to generate the helical trimer along the a1 axis. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks. -Sadeem -- :-)

Error "No MMTK name for atom "H" in standard residue “G""
by Jatin Kashyap 16 Sep '20

Dear Chimera Community Members, I am facing an error while minimizing a protein that have 5’ terminal phosphates attached to it. Chimera is showing the warning that AMBER is unable to parametrize the phosphates and if you do not delete it, 0 charges will be assigned to it. I selected the option not to delete it but then it throws error[1] on the following step. I am pasting my log below [2]. Thank you for helping me to understand this.

Re: [Chimera-users] Euler angles and rotations

Hi Stephen, In Chimera, you can write the current transformations of models to a file with "matrixget" and apply transformations from those matrices by reading the file with "matrixset." <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html> It doesn't have anything to do with Euler angles, though. Not sure if it suffices for what you want to do. To send a question for all staff to see, it is best to use the mailing list CC'd here. For ChimeraX, there is similar stuff in the "view matrix" command and saved "positions" files. However, the positions file doesn't include camera position, so in my opinion is not quite as useful for regenerating the view as matrixget(set) in Chimera. <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#matrix> <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/formats/positions.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Zone in pixel or Angstrom?

Hi, is the zone around selected atoms cut out with "Volume Viewer > Features > Zone" measured in Angstroms or pixels?
