write prmtop, source leaprc.ff14SB
by stu118506 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Dear Chimera users, I'd like to save a prmtop file of my protein after preparation for molecular dynamics simulation. I tried to do it by using Tools - Amber - write Prmtop . I get this reply log entry: _command: ['/gpfs/fs5/home-sh/sumbi463/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2017-12-05/bin/amber16/bin/sleap', '-f', '/scratch/tmpOlw0GO/solvate.cmd']_ _Running sleap command: /gpfs/fs5/home-sh/sumbi463/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2017-12-05/bin/amber16/bin/sleap -f /scratch/tmpOlw0GO/solvate.cmd_ _(writeprmtop) [gtkleap]$ source leaprc.ff14SB_ _(writeprmtop) Error: can not find file leaprc.ff14SB in all the search path._ _Failure running sleap_ I guess that it should source oldff/leaprc.ff14SB because the file seems to be in the directory oldff. But I don't know if that is right and were I have to change the path. Additionally, addions works perfectly although leaprc.ff14SB is also needed. So there the path seems to be set correctly. Is there anything I can do about it? Thank you Freia Krause Christian-Albrechts Universität zu Kiel,Germany

Inquiry about hydrogen bond analysis- important
by Mohamed S. Nafie 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Chimera team. I made the hydrogen bond analysis for the co-crystallized ligand for 1DB1 receptor. it makes on the PDB 6 hydrogen bonds through both oxygen and hydrogen of the hydroxyl group (three of both) with the amino acids residues in the binding site, Also chimera forms 6 but through oxygen of hydroxyl group only. This my first question why? The second question is the structure of the Co crystallized Ligand is not correct, when I adjust the bond order of it by Maestro and save it as pdb and reopen it by Chimera, it forms only two hydrogen binds why? Please try to help me in this question, because I need it necessary Thanks Mohamed S.

regarding opening mouth or poc file on chimera
by Ming 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hi Chimera team, I have a quick question regarding opening CASTp file on Chimera. I downloaded the pdb file together with mouth and poc file and saved them in the same folder. I also made sure the names are consistent among these files. However, I am still getting error messages as following. Error reading 3mbg.poc: ValueError: Mouth info header missing or IDs not consecutive File "/home/ming/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.11.2/share/CASTp/__init__.py", line 88, in processInfoFile " IDs not consecutive" % label.capitalize()) See reply log for Python traceback. I looked up the Chimera manual online and it looks pretty straight forward to open either the mouth or poc file but I am not sure why I keep getting the error messages. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ming

Hello everyone. I am interested in using the builtin vina docking tool in Chimera. I get stuck several times at the following Error: ( Running AutoDock Vina for 5x5d failed; see Reply Log for more information: Application stderr ----- 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ----- Application stdout) I check for several tutorials but got the same error, the version I used is Chimera 1.12 and Ulpha version 1.13 in windows 10 platform (64bit) Thank you?

Coloring specific amino acid residues in Chimera
by Mariano Carossino 27 Dec '17

27 Dec '17

Hi, I have two trimer structures for the VP7 protein of two different rotavirus strains and I would like to highlight specific amino acid changes between these two. Could you please indicate me how can I color the amino acid residues that differ between these two structures using Chimera? Thank you, MC

B-factor values
by ARMIN HODAEI 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Dear Chimera Users, I am trying to define new attributes in Chimera, and I have written a new set of scores for every residue (for b-values) but after adding I get this error message. It seems that I have to change the numbering of the residues on the PDB, to get correct colors. Sincerely, -- Armin Hodaei Department of Physics, Faculty of Arts and Sciences Koc University, Istanbul

Electrostatic Potential
by chemocev marker 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

Hi I am just calculating the Electrostatic Potential, and I wanted to know your opinion which force field is better for metallo proteins.And what is criteria to choose and not to choose the pKA... As I am doing the reaction at different pH and what I see in the PDB the proteins are crystallized at different pH then the reaction conditions. Structures are solved at low pH but the reactions are done at high pH. best Jiri

box cut out is not a cube!
by Dieter Blaas 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Dear all and Elaine, I have an mrc volume of 450 x 450 x 450 px, put a marker at a particular location and cut out a box with 'Box around selected atoms with padding 60'. However, Chimera shows me the boxed volume as 124 x 123 x 124. I understand that the higher value must result from the voxel size being 0.97 A/px, so the dimensions would be 123.71 x 123.71 x 123.71 or anything similarly rounded. BUT why are the dimensions in x,y,z different and the box not exactly cubic? I noticed that it might have to do with centering but I do not understand how I can cut out a 'really' cubic box! Thanks for help, best, Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max F. Perutz Laboratories Medical University of Vienna, Inst. Med.
