BioPython in a Chimera Python script; PDBio?
by Hurt, Darrell (NIH/NIAID) [E] 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi Chimera friends, I've been trying to install BioPython into the Python interpreter embedded within Chimera. I've been following the guidelines posted a couple of years ago: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-dev/2011/000807.html This works up to a point for me. I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.5 with MacPorts installed. I'm trying to install BioPython 1.63: http://biopython.org/wiki/Download#Installation_Instructions The "build" process starts to work, but gets hung up with the error "xcrun: Error: failed to exec real xcrun. (No such file or directory)". It seems to be referencing "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk", which does not exist in recent versions of Xcode. I've been able to install the 10.6 frameworks into both Xcode 4.6.2 and Xcode 5.x, but that still doesn't work. I manually installed the MacOSX10.6.sdk from Xcode 4.2 into the appropriate location, but still no luck. I'm using BioPython because I want to pull some information out of the PDB headers. I was able to use PDBio as described in this discussion: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2007-February/001291.html But the "dictionary" entries "keyed by record type" need additional cleanup/parsing before I can use them (which is why I wanted to use BioPython). Is this just a case of Apple not building in enough backwards compatibility? Or is it something that Chimera needs to fix? Do you have any additional suggestions for me about "PDBio"? The fields I want are the DOI and title information. Finally, is there an analogous "EMDBio" for EMDB records?

Updating coordinates without having to regenerate the depiction of an atomic model
by Mike Lawrence 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi, Within Chimera is there any way in which the underlying coordinates of an atomic model can be updated in order to yield the same depiction but based on the new coordinates, or (equivalently) can the attributes of one model be transferred to another, assuming of course that they have the same underlying protein sequence, etc. thanks Mike Lawrence Walter + Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Parkville Australia ______________________________________________________________________ The information in this email is confidential and intended solely for the addressee.

the old Mac OX 10.4 can not run Chimera
by Zhang, Yinghui 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Dear Sir/Madam, This is Yinghui Zhang from Massachusetts General Hospital. I am a postdoc here and my project requires me to use the Chimera often. However, the desktop I used is some old and I can not update and use Chimera right now. The Chimera installed is 1.2 version but cannot be started. The specifics of computer is as follows: Apple PowerMac G5 chip, duo core and 3G memory. The OS is Mac OX 10.4.11. The operating system very probably cannot be updated because of chip version problem. Could you please give us some information if there is some alternative we can install executable Chimera on this computer? Thank you very much!

General question about Chimera
by Lili Peng 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi, When I load a structure of a protein into Chimera, the structure is automatically rendered in ribbon mode, with select atoms being rendered in stick mode. I am curious as to why certain atoms are rendered as sticks, and other are not. What is the selection criteria? Thank you, Lili

How to measure the radius of density map
by Jian Guan 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi all, I have density map of virus (mrc format) and want to measure the radius of it. I tried measure command, High-order structure-->Icosahedron surface. Both of them need me to measure it manually by eye. Are there any tools to measure the radius by chimera, so we can get more accurate result? Or does anybody know how to measure it accurately? Thank you so much. Sincerely yours, Happy New Year.
