Hi, Is there a way to delete entries from the rapid access list without having to edit the preferences file? If there isn't such a way, is it possible to request to add such feature?

Weird looking stretch in ribbon presentation
by Boaz Shaanan 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

Hi , I came across a weird looking stretch when I use ribbons presentation (latest build x86_64, 38529, 27/3/13). Please check it yourself. In the entry 2pan, if you select residues 114-115 (Phe-Gln) and a few residues before and after in any chain (well, I checked C & D, I guess it's the same for all chains) and use ribbons + side-chains presentation the Ca-Cb gets very long compared to backbone+side-chain presentation (the Cb's are in the same place in both presentation, of course). In fact, the ribbon trace is shifted away from the backbone really is, hence the Ca-Cb bond gets excessively long. It probably has to do with the shape of the turn in this stretch and the way the ribbons are calculated. However as this is an important region for my analysis it drew my attention by its weirdness. Is there no remedy for this?

transparency command unrecognized
by Corey Fugate 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

I am following the Chimera Movie Making tutorial, but when I use the command "transp 80,r" the command line tells me, "Unrecognized command: "transp". I tried replacing "transp" with "transparency" and got the same result. Can someone explain to me why this isn't working? (I'm using build 1.5.3 on my MacBook. Thanks, Corey

Reg: Hydrogen Bond Analysis
by Amit Jaiswal 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Dear Chimera Users, I am new to chimera and I have some protein protein interaction results to be analysed. Most of the results are from HADDOCK server which gives a protein protein complex. So, is it possible to visualize the hydrogen bonds formed between the proteins using chimera? If yes, how? I am eagerly waiting for the answer. -- Yours Sincerely, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amit Jaiswal, Department of Bioinformatics, School of Life Sciences, Pondicherry Central University, Kalapet, Pondicherry, Puducherry - 605 014. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected fellows! i need help from you. actually i am working on my project and uses chimera for this . i have a problem because i have a huge data and i have to collect RMSD value of 10000 pdb ids in a 262 by 262 matrix. just wanted to know if there is another procedure to collect value instead of collecting manually. because it takes too much time and very hectic work. waiting for your precious suggestion and will be very thankful to you.

torsion angles to x,y,z coordinate
by Chinh Su Tran To 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Dear Chimera users, I obtained some dihedral angles around some rotatable bonds of my molecule's conformations. I used GA to get new sets of those torsions, now I need to convert them back to x,y,z coordinates (new conformations) Is it possible to do that in Chimera? Please help. Thank you. Chinh
