USCF CTRL + Left Click
by Luke Kurfman-Student 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hello Sr./Ms., Most everyone in my laboratory has access to UCSF Chimera and can use it with no issues. However, one new person has had trouble selecting atoms. Specifically, neither CTRL + Left Click nor CTRL + SHIFT + Left Click appear to work on selecting atoms in a molecular geometry, even though their computer can run the program. They can translate, rotate, and zoom in-and-out of the geometry, and they can use actions such as "Select All" . However, they cannot deselect individual atoms once the entire geometry is selected, and they can only CTRL + Left Click outside the geometry to deselect the entire geometry. Additionally, drag-clicking does not appear to work. CTRL + Click is a fundamental feature that our group uses, especially since we use Chimera for journal figures. Are there any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the issue with selecting atoms? For reference, their computer runs Windows 10 and operates on a x64 bit system. Any help is appreciated, Luke

Set scale factors from displayed contours?
by Oliver Clarke 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hi, When combining maps using vop maximum (or volume maximum in chimerax), we often want to adjust the scale factors of the maps such that the overlapping bits of two aligned maps are visually on the same scale. It is possible to calculate the appropriate scale factors from the displayed thresholds, but this becomes a little time consuming when combining many maps. Would it be possible to add a flag, something like "get scalefactor from display thresholds" that would take care of this automatically? Cheers Oli

Assigning nucleotide representation to non-canonical nucleotides
by Jérôme Rihon 17 May '22

17 May '22

Dear I was wondering if there is a way to represent non-canonical (otherwise known as xenobiotic) nucleic acids through UCSF Chimera (specifically, not ChimeraX .. haven't made the jump yet). I've looked through your documentation on the `nucleotides` section but was not able to find something along those lines. My PI told me it was possible, but I can't seem to find it. My apologies if I should be looking for this function elsewhere, but I thought it'd be easier to just ask. Many thanks in advance! Kind regards, Met vriendelijke groeten, Cordialement, ______________________ Rihon Jérôme jerome.rihon(a)kuleuven.be | +32 16 32 53 57 PhD researcher @Rega Institute for Medical Research | Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry | Computational Research Herestraat 49 - box 1041, 3000 Leuven

Making a movie from map series while keeping map's colors
by Michal Arie Shmuelov 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi everyone, I have 20 maps (from 3D variability analysis) that I open as series in chimeraX. I'm coloring the map series using the command "color zone #X near #X distance X" (coloring the map according to pdb model). Next I'm trying to make a movie of this map series while retaining the map colors. For some reason when the morph/ vseries starts to run the colors disappear. Can someone help me to solve this problem? What are the commands that I should write? Thanks, Michal

Can't open web file
by Emma Belcher 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi there, I am a complete beginner with Chimera so apologies for the very basic question. I am trying to open a Consurf output which is a .chimerax file. I have downloaded Chimera to do this and have not changed any default settings (running MacOS Monterey 12.2.1). When I try to open the file (either by clicking “Open with Chimera” on the file or opening Chimera and going File > Open… and selecting the file), it comes up with the following error message: Error reading consurf_1652376787.chimerax: Couldn't find url 'https://consurf.tau.ac.il/results/1652376787/msa_file_fasta.aln.clustalw': [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:661) I have no idea what this means or how to fix it, so would appreciate any tips! Thank you, Emma Belcher

Save reply log through chimera command line
by Reeki Emrizal 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi I working on an automated python script to calculate the rmsd between two molecules using rmsd command. I'm using --nogui when running the script. The standard output did not show the rmsd value. When using the chimera gui, I noticed that the rmsd value is shown in the reply log. Is there a way I could save the content of the reply log through python script? I found previous post with similar issue that use: from chimera.tkgui import saveReplyLog saveReplyLog(path) The solution does not work for me though as the text file is empty even though there is content in the reply log. Kind Regards

Hi, I'm trying to write a script to perform the procedure described here: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2017-March/013247.html Can someone help with the command line syntax for associating a structure with a defined sequence? Thanks. Best wishes, Reza Reza Khayat, PhD Associate Professor City College of New York Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry New York, NY 10031

Re: [Chimera-users] [chimerax-users] interface plot
by Elaine Meng 12 May '22

Hi Pranav, If you mean that you wanted a list of the interface residues, you can use the "interfaces" network diagram edge context menu to select the residues, then list them in the Log with "info residues sel" ... and either cut-n-paste from the Log to text file or use "log save" to save it as an HTML file. The "info" command should really allow saving a text file directly, but it doesn't do that yet. I believe we have an open ticket to fix that omission. In the chain-chain network diagram, e.g. when the mouse cursor is over the edge representing the chain B-C interface, context-menu choices include Select Contact Residues of B and C Select Contact Residues of B with C Select Contact Residues of C with B <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/interfaces.html#diagram> Or if you get a new daily build, another way to select the residues is to use menu: Select... Contacts, the Chains section of the resulting dialog: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/selectcontacts.html> Then use "info residues sel" and possibly "log save" as mentioned above. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/info.html#residues> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/log.html#save> Alternatively, you could use "measure buriedarea" specifying the two chains and "list true", which also reports each residue's buried area. (thus avoiding having to select and use "info") <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/measure.html#buriedarea> Example: measure buriedarea (/A&protein) with (/B&protein) list true I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

use of the program UCSF Chimera
by GABRIELLE LUPETI DE CENA 12 May '22

12 May '22

Goodnight! My name is Gabrielle, I am a Master's student at UNIFESP (Federal University of São Paulo), SP, Brazil. I'm using UCSF Chimera to analyze the secondary structure of some peptides that I'm studying. When I load the .pdb file in the program, it generates a different structure than the one desired. In the examples below, we have two structures alpha helix and random coil, but the images generated are different and I don't understand why. Could you help me, explaining what is happening, or what I should do to have the image as in the first figure (NATTP_05 chimera). Thanks -- ---- A Universidade Federal de São Paulo segue a política de e-mail Institucional disponível em https://sti.unifesp.br/documentos/termos-de-uso-do-email <https://sti.unifesp.br/documentos/termos-de-uso-do-email> <https://sei.unifesp.br/sei/publicacoes/controlador_publicacoes.php?acao=pub…>
