Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am a PhD scholar at the Institute of Advanced Research, India. I have been using the free version of Chimera for the last few days. I wanted to ask if I could publish the images created in Chimera using that free version by citing it appropriately using the citation provided on the website or do I need to buy the license to publish? Would you please guide me for the same.

Solvation question
by Noriega, Heather 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Hello, I have a quick question. I am running the solvate command before the minimization, equilibrium, and production run in Chimera. I click the start solvate tool and put my water box size and apply. This gives me my box and in the command line it says created...with however many water molecules. I then go run parameters, set up everything. Once I hit run, the water box dissappears. I just want to make sure that the solvation did occur even though the water box dissappears from the screen. Everything else ran smoothly to show simulation. I just want to be certain and have confirmation that the solvation does occur as long as I use apply and do not close out of the window. Thanks in advance for your help. Thank you, Heather Noriega PhD-Pharmaceutical Science student College of Pharmacy Howard University heather.noriega(a)bison.howard.edu 520-203-1883

Showbox
by Francesca Magarotto - francesca.magarotto2＠studio.unibo.it 03 Nov '21

Hi, I know that the program showbox is related to Dock, but I can't find a mailing list still active for Dock users... Maybe someone could help me here. I don't understand if ligands that are docked inside the binding site can exit in part from the box the user defines for grid calculation. I think that maybe if sphere centers are very near the boundaries of the box, it could be possible, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know it? Thanks and regards.
