How to move ions along with protein structure
by Amir Mehdi 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Hi, I am MEHDI I am trying to make a fusion between two proteins but when I am joining them by using build structure->joint structure (C-N peptide bonds) it will only move the protein structure but not the ions attached with the structure, can you suggest me something what to do in this case? Thank you

morph command in chimerax
by Hansen, Bryan (NIH/NIAID) [E] 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

Hi, I'm using ChimeraX v 1.8 (2024-06-10) and I'm having a problem with the morph command. No matter how I format the command I'm getting the same error message of "Require at least 2 structures for morph" I've tried morph #3,4 core 0.1 frames 75 wrap t and morph #3#4 core 0.1 frames 75 wrap t These are 2 electron density maps so there's no sequence info docked in yet. Thanks for any tips or advice on what I'm doing wrong.

Finding SASA for individual residues
by Prathvi Singh 29 Aug '24

Hi Elaine, Can I use chimera or chimeraX to know the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) for selected residues? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

display cartoon and H-bonds
by Bryan Sutton 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

I can't for the life of me figure out how to display ONLY a cartoon representation of my protein and backbone H-bonds. ChimeraX keeps forcing side-chain:backbone bonds.. I don't want that. I can do it if I show the backbone atoms, but I don't want to do that either. I only want it to show ONLY backbone H-bonds.

Problem of starting Chimera
by 郭家瑞 24 Aug '24

24 Aug '24

Hello, This is the first time I am stalling Chimera, but I meet the problem of starting the software. According to the Debug command, I have tried update my graphic driver, installed Gzip and tried different Chimera releases including 1.18, 1.17 and 1.14. However, the software still cannot be started. The content of debug log is copied as following: D:\Chimera 1.14\share\chimeraInit.py:99: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal if chimera_env.get(e) == _original_environ.get(e): initializing general preferences loading Tix initializing graphics Return code: -1073741819 I am looking forward to any guidance or help for solving the problem. My graphic is NVIDIA Geforce 3050Ti and the opperation system is Windows 10. If necessary, more details can be supplied. Sincerely Appreciated, Jiarui Guo from China

chimera

After installing and opening the UCSF Chimera software, pythonw.exe keeps popping up new windows, causing the software to malfunction. I have tried downloading various versions of the UCSF Chimera software, but after installation, when I double-click to open it, various interfaces keep popping up. At the same time, Microsoft Edge also continuously opens web pages, rendering both the software and the computer unusable. I found that a few years ago, someone in the community had the same experience. How can this be resolved? Most concerning is that, like them, I am also using a Honor laptop.

Chimera
by Kotin, Robert 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Good afternoon – I’d appreciate advise for virus capsid viewing. Adeno-associated viruse structures, e.g., 1lp3, consist of the asymmetric unit repeated 60x to form the icosahedral capsid (T=1). I’d like to highlight the equivalent residue in each of the 60 subunits but haven’t figured out how to do that (except by manually going through each of the 60 chains). Please let me know if there are commands that can specify the residue in chains 1, 2, 3,…60. Thank you Robert Kotin

.crd file not opening
by safi ch 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Greetings, hope you are doing well. I want your guidance on how can I open a .crd file on UCSF Chimera. I am working on a protein and its mutants and performed their docking via Swiss Dock, it gave results in form of .crd file that I cannot open. My supervisor also has no idea how to open it, so please help me in this regard, I need to open it to work further on my research. Waiting for your kind response please.
