Hi Elaine, Could you please react to my last week's mail, forwarded (again) below? Thanks, Nadir Mrabet -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Chimera-users] Stereo 3D for teaching Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 17:23:35 +0200 From: Nadir T. Mrabet <Nadir.Mrabet(a)medecine.uhp-nancy.fr> Reply-To: Nadir.Mrabet(a)medecine.uhp-nancy.fr Organization: Nancy University, School of Medicine To: chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu BB <chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Hi, I had addressed previously the question about which equipments would perform best to display molecular structures in 3D for teaching purposes. Greg Couch had offered to keep me up on the latest technologies offered at the last SIGGRAPH conference. But nothing so far. Can anyone help me with that? Many thanks in advance. Nadir -- Pr.

3D stereo
by Nadir T. Mrabet 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi, This is for teaching purposes so that students can "walk" though 3D structures. Would it be possible to use Chimera via a 3D stereo beamer to project display on a very large screen and watch the selected structure in 3D by means of shutter glasses? If this is so, what kind of equipment would you recommend? Many thanks, Nadir -- Pr. Nadir T.

Dear all, how can I select the side chain of the residue and to color it using different color from the backbone (possibly the command line)?

Dear Elaine Meng chimera-alpha<https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/chimera-get.py?file=alpha/chimera-alpha-wi…> is the same chimera 1.5. is it true?

Gorgon EM modeling / visualization software
by Tom Goddard 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi Tom, I found in Keren Lasker's book chapter a reference to an EM modeling program called Gorgon from Washington University at St Louis. It was developed in collaboration with NCMI (Wah) and seems to be aimed at modeling high resolution EM maps where protein backbones can be traced. It is embarrassing that I didn't know about this, and also that they didn't leverage Chimera. I guess Chimera code was deemed too complex to reuse so they wrote their own molecule/map display and editor. Ugh. This Gorgon software is a relative of the pipeline for EM modeling that Keren describes in her book chapter, only it is really the NCMI pipeline -- focused on how to model 4 Angstrom EM maps. I think this would be a good case study to investigate why they didn't make use of Chimera extensibility or Chimera code modules. Another recent case of massive reimplementing computer graphics capabilities is a fitting package called UROX from Jorge Navaza's lab. It would be interesting to survey new molecular and EM graphics packages, talk to the authors, and see what we could have done to make Chimera more attractive to them as a development platform or code base.

change of atom colors
by atila petrosian 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi chemera users I am beginner in chemira. I opened a pdb file containing protein by chimera, in my chimera both of carbon and hydrogen atoms have same color (light gray). I want to have carbon as green and hydrogen gray. how can I do that?

hydrogen bond in proteins
by atila petrosian 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi chimera users I used (find Hydrogen bonds) option for my pdb file (containing 2 strands of amino acids), but chimera show HBs that being between O and N atoms, while I want to chimera show HBs that being between O and H atoms (usually, in proteins, HB is formed between O atom of C=O group and H atom of N-H group, consequently; C=O…H-N). Please guide me.

surface area
by yan zhang 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi sir , I used StrucTools server of Area/Volume from Web to calculate the buried surface of ligand . The ligand and protein was docked with glide , and then, i saved the complex into the form of pdb.I calculate the protein, ligand and complex area respectively , but the values of protein and complex were the same . The Surface probe size is 1.5 and Atoms to use is 'atoms+hetatms' . Is there something wrong with the pdb file of the complex or my operation? The three pdb files are in the accessory. Thanks, Sweety
