Re: [Chimera-users] Ramachandran Plots
by Conrad Huang 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Actually, you can now bring up a Ramachandran plot via the user interface in the Chimera daily build (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#daily) If you pop up the Model Panel (Favorites -> Model Panel), there should be a "Ramachandran plot..." button that displays a plot for each selected model. This is still an early implementation, so please send us bug reports and suggestions.

Fitting with constrained motion
by Tom Goddard 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi Julio The Chimera fitting code does a full 3-degree-of-freedom rotational search. It cannot search fewer rotational degrees of freedom. It would be nice to adapt the code to be able to consider only rotations about an axis. The needed changes would be in the FitMap Chimera module not the fitnogui.py script. Optimizing using only two rotational degrees of freedom that are Euler angles seems like a bizarre case and we are not likely to ever handle that. Please post future questions to the chimera-users mailing list so others can answer and read the answers. Tom > Hi Tom, > > Sorry to bother you again.

UCSF Chimera Visual Identity
by Jessen Vernon Bredeson 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

To whom this may concern, I downloaded the UCSF Chimera 1.4.1 update for Mac OS X and noticed that the Chimera symbol had a grey outline around it, likely due to multiple alpha channels in rendering the image into .ICNS format, so I recomposed the image in higher quality and it is attached below. Also below is an accompanying symbol for MS Windows format (.ICO). These icons are free of charge, keep up the good work.

model panel: add/edit note
by Dougherty, Matthew T 03 Aug '10

Is there a command to be able to modify notes on the model panel? If not, it would a useful addition when creating a command file to load in & color datasets.
