Centering icosahedron and capsid in the same place in Chimera
by Elaine Meng 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hi Heather, Maybe your other capsid coordinates just happened to be centered on the default location for centering the icosahedron, but this one has offset coordinates. Still you could just move one or the other (capsid or icosahedron) so that they are centered in the same place. In Chimera (not ChimeraX) you can deactivate/activate models for motion so that only the active ones move with the mouse. I.e. uncheck the model number in the "Active models" list under the command line so that only the other one moves with the mouse. Other ways described here: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/mouse.html#activedef> I cc'd Chimera-users because the details in this message are about Chimera rather than ChimeraX. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I appreciate your help on the inner volume from before both methods with blob and shape, I think I have been able to tailor it for my usage. I also have been using the icosahedron surface in Chimera, and have not had any issues until this capsid, why is it not forming inside the capsid? Did I do something?

Dear Sir, I am trying to use chimera for windows for docking, but it does not work (photos attached). I have downloaded: https://github.com/ccsb-scripps/AutoDock-Vina/releases/tag/v1.2.3 and put the correct location but still having problems. Could you possible help me? I have followed all the steps described here. Thank you in advance for your help.

Pdb saved in Chimera not displaying upon opening
by Magdalena Riad 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Hi, I have opened a pdb structure of a ribosome, hidden parts of it and then saved a new pdb of the displayed atoms through “File->Save pdb” ticking “save displayed atoms only”. When I try to open this saved pdb file, Chimera states “Opened ….pdb”, however, it does not display. The model panel is empty etc. Checking the pdb file in textedit, it does contain the secondary structure information and all the amino acids but it seems to lack coordinate information, see pictures below of parts of it. I’ve also tried to save the pdb through “Actions-> write pdb”. Do you know how I can solve this issue? Is it a saving issue or a displaying issue? Thanks, Magdalena [cid:image001.png@01D8C371.3C765B60][cid:image002.png@01D8C371.3C765B60] När du skickar e-post till Karolinska Institutet (KI) innebär detta att KI kommer att behandla dina personuppgifter.

How to caluculate buried surface area
by Kenji MATSUI 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Dear Chimera I am sorry to interrupt your busy schedule. My name is Matsui, and I am a second-year master's student at a Japanese university. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to respond to my question the other day. We are investigating the buried surface area to see the magnitude of the interaction between protein and ligand. For this purpose, I calculated the solvent accessible area of the ligand. However, the value is 9955, which shows the entire surface area of the protein. What should I do? I am not in a hurry for answers , so I would appreciate a reply when you have the time. In this case, the ligand was in the binding pocket of the protein, so I would like to calculate the ligand's solvent contact area = buried surface area. I tried to check and tried , but it did not work. 1.See https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-January/003521.html 2.Try to use measure blob using chimera X. Reference: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/measure.html#buriedarea However, I didn't know how to solve this command.

making images of the intermediate steps of morphing
by Sen, Anindito 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

Dear Chimera users, How can I generate an image with the intermediate steps in a morphing session (of an atomic structure between its two conformations). The image of intermediate states can appear 'lighter' than the original and final states. Stay safe & Regards Anindito Sen.

Volume... Measure Volume and Area. This tool automatically shows the area and volume of the surface. Another way to do the same measurement is with command "measure volume," e.g. if your ligand structure is model #0, command: measure volume #0 The value from the command is shown in Reply Log (menu: Favorites...
