Dear Eric, I have tried the instructions following the FAQ, but there is another problem. The scipy installed successfully. However, it installed a higher version of the numpy when installing scipy. And the older version of numpy is still in. The chimera can not work. Anyway, thanks a lot. ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ 发件人: "Eric Pettersen"<pett(a)cgl.ucsf.edu>; 发送时间: 2019年8月20日(星期二) 凌晨1:46 收件人: "William"<3121437640(a)qq.com>; 抄送: "chimera-users"<chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu>; 主题: Re: [Chimera-users] scipy problem Hi William, I don’t know why Jaime’s instructions don’t work. Maybe he can follow up. Regardless, we have our own instructions for installing pip (and pip-able packages like scipy). It’s in the Chimera Programming FAQ. Question 3b. If those instructions don’t work, please let us know. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

How to read a volume in python script
by Huiya Zhou 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, I am trying to use UCSF Chimera to analysis cry-EM density maps. I would like to read a density map (for example: a .mrc file) in python script and get the array (or a three dimensional matrix) of all voxels of this density map. How could I realize this? By the way, I tried to learn some basic chimera functions which can be used in python on this website: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html> However, it seems this website can’t be opened and it shows me a blank page. Best, Huiya

copy/combine molecular models
by Rui Chen 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, I am working on a homodimer. I modelled loops of each chain one by one. I chose the best loops for each chain. Now I want to save them as a pub file. Please see the following screenshot. How to decide the new model's ID? I know the coordinate system is the reference coordinate, how do I decide which chain to use as the reference chain? Should I choose rename them uniquely? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you. [image: Screen Shot 2019-08-22 at 12.01.28 AM.png] Best regards, Rui

how to guess ligand's net charge?
by Thomas Evangelidis 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Greetings, How does Chimera guess the net charge of a ligand when prompted to select the charge type (AM1-bcc or Gasteiger)? I am doing high throughput protein-ligand MD simulations and would like to know which open source library Chimera uses for this task. Thanks in advance.

color by zone in chimeraX
by Pranav Shah 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

Hi Elaine and Co., I am trying to color a virus map with the relevant pdb file, the series of commands I am running are as follows, open virus.mrc open virus.pdb color /A plum target c color /B lightgreen target c color /C dodger blue target c color zone #1 near #2 dist 3 However, the resultant surface is rendered in splotches of red and blue, which leads me to think the it is coloring the surface using atom type. Could you tell me how I can get Chimera X to color the surface using the colors of the chains only? FYI, color by zone works flawlessly in chimera.

Match showmatrix true motion in original coordinates

Hi, Running match showmatrix true, gives two matrices. What's the difference between the two?

A question about the Volume Viewer
by Grosman, Claudio F 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hello everyone, I have (what I think is) a very simple question: what is the particular value of "level" (that is, the threshold) that appears automatically when one opens a 3D density map? After playing around with the threshold, I always feel like the initial value is the best one, but I wonder what exactly this value is. In the online documentation of Chimera, this issue is addressed. The text reads that the initial value of this threshold is such that 1% of the voxels have density values above it. Is this really the case? Only voxels with intensities above the threshold are displayed. Am I seeing only 1% of the voxels, then? I am afraid, I am confused. Thank you very much, in advance. Claudio

Selecting one ID 0 when two ID 0s are present
by Ryan Harlich 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hi Chimera, I have a problem where there are two ID 0. One is the normal density map the other is a solid (or what seems to be a movie of the protein). I want to select the density map. In the GUI interface I would open volume viewer and select radio button surface for category Style. Then a little below select All instead of One. I was wondering how to do this with command line? What I am trying to do is get a chain of the pdb structure and zone the density map. However the files are really big so I am trying to do it via ssh on another computer so I will be doing it with the –nogui flag. So if I can do everything via command line that would be great.
