Hello, I have one concern, before docking there is a double bond which i can check in pymol but after docking that double bond was lost. Can you please tell me how to fix this problem. Thank you

Finding SASA for individual residues
by Prathvi Singh 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Hi Elaine, Can I use chimera or chimeraX to know the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) for selected residues? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

No MMTK name for atom "H" in standard residue "GLY"
by Marco Sette 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Dear all, i'm trying to minimize a peptide (Tools, Structure editing, Minimize Structure) but I obtain this error message: No MMTK name for atom "H" in standard residue "GLY". I have a Gly in position 1, does this depends on the NH protonation? Also, I fixed most of the residues, including Gly 1, trying to minimize a small region (Fixed Atoms: selected, in minimize panel) but still have the same errors. How can I solve it? Thanks for your help, Best Marco -- Dr Marco Sette, PhD.

combining two models into single model with two chains
by Elaine Meng 13 Nov '22

13 Nov '22

Hi Ali, I don't know what you mean by "sub-branches of that chain" -- if they are listed as two separate things in the Model Panel (e.g. #0.1 and #0.2), then it means they are two separate models. You can show Model Panel from the Favorites menu. If so, then you want to put them together into one model with two different chains. For that, see the "copy/combine" function in the Model Panel (in the menu under Favorites) or the "combine" command. Details in the User Guide: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html> <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html#combine> <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/combine.html> If they are really only one model with one chain, then you can only change the ID of part of the chain if the two parts are really disconnected. See Tools... Structure Editing... Change Chain IDs: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/editing/changech…> If they are NOT disconnected, you would have to manually edit the PDB file in some text editor first to add a TER between the parts. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/framepdbintro.h…> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

For the next step, I need to upload to Prodigy, which requires me to separate the ligand chain and receptor chain to perform the analysis. But in the PDB file that I open in Chimera, there is only one chain, and ligand and receptor are divided as sub-branches of that chain, and Prodigy algorithm does not accept it. > I wanted to know how to divide the protein and its receptor into two different chains? > > Best regards!

MD simulation movie in chimeraX
by Shivam Gupta 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Hello Support Team, I am a commercial license user of chimeraX. I have .trr and .tpr files from the Gromacs MD simulation. I am not getting any option to create an MD movie. I know how to do it in chimera but couldn't find a similar GUI/option in chimeraX. Literature/tutorial of chimeraX didn't help me much. Please help me out by guiding me to generate MD movies. Please reply to this email inline. I am Looking forward to hearing from you.

Finding disulphide bonds
by Prathvi Singh 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Hi Elaine, I have found out a way to select the disulphide bonded CYS residues in UCSF chimera using the command: *select disulphide*. However, is there a way to count the number of disulphide bridges in a protein and save in a variable? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

Question regarding 2dlabels in Chimera
by leonard.maurer＠uni-bonn.de 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Hi, I am using Chimera for several years now and I really enjoy it, but there is one issue I could not solve until now: Is it possible to have subscript/superscript for the 2D labels? For example something like "subunit A\_{1}" and "subunit A\^{1}" that I can type either in the 2d labels GUI text part or with the 2dlabels command, which gives me the raised and lowered versions of the "1"? I am confident that this feature might be already implemented given Chimera's impressive amount of tools, but I was not able to find it in the documentation so far. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Leonard

Running the Modify Structure tool using command line in UCSF Chimera
by Prathvi Singh 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Hi Elaine, Is there a way to run the *Modify Structure *tool in UCSF Chimera using command line? I want to substitute a S-atom with O-atom in more than 100 structures and doing it for each structure using the GUI looks very time consuming. Please help. -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016
