Although this does not relate to your question on licensing, is there any particular reason you're using such a complicated workflow? Chimera can be used to generate basic geometry (sphere/cylinder) from PDB files via povray, but so could any import system you have for the 3D modeling software. You would also lose the benefit of chemistry-centered structure for manipulation or selection: chains, residues, etc. I've been using Blender to handle complicated chemical models for a while now, and it wasn't that difficult to implement the import of various data types. With BioPython pdb files become trivial, and volumetric data sets are (very) difficult but possible.

changing center of rotation
by Jonathan Hilmer 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Although I haven't used EMAnimator, you can set the center of rotation within Chimera using the Set Pivot action: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/menu.html#actpivot There's also Tools/Movement/Rotation, and lastly, you can edit structures to insert artificial points at extreme high/low XYZ locations, which will in effect manually set the center used via the 'center of models' option. I wouldn't recommend the last option unless you have a good reason to do so, but it does work.

Can anybody tell me how to use EMANIMATOR to make a movie of a molecule rotating. If I use the spin option, it uses the axis (0 1 0) but my molecule is not center at 0 0 0. Is there a way to fix the rotation center to the center of the molecule, or to the center of the view? Thanks

Hello all, 1) I hve generated a solvent density map using Amber8 in XPLOR format. I am able to open the map in chimera. I hv also generated a refernce pdb file. Now i have to fix the reference structure of my molecule in the density map. I tried many options but i couldnt do that. Someone pls suggest me how i should do the same. 2) Also i am not clear with the meaning of the threshold levels given in the histogram. Although i could see the difference in the density map by sliding the vertical bar to various postions, i am getting what it can tell us exactly. Which is the most suitable threhold level etc. 3) Someone pls give me the link for the chimera mail list archive...i am unable to locate it. Bala

Movie - Display Spheres
by Jared Godar 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Hello, I am trying to use the 'represent spheres' command to draw attention to specific residues in a model that is displayed as a ribbon. I would like to first show the ATP binding site of the molecule with magenta spheres, then show the three residuse which get phosphorolated. Currently, I am able to display one of these elements or the other as spheres, but not both at the same time. I've tried to use a single represent sphere command to specify all of the desired atoms, but can't seem to get the context right, represent sphere #0:426,431,432,ATP and represent sphere #0:426,431,432 & #0::ATP weren't working. Help on the syntax to simultaneously display the two commands listed below which are currently mutually exclusive would be appreciated. #SHOW ATP: color magenta #0::ATP; color magenta #0::mg; represent sphere #0::ATP #SHOW PO4 Residues show #0:426,431,432; color yellow #0:426; color orange red #0:431; color red #0:432; represent sphere #0:426,431,432 Thanks, Jared -- Jared A.

hi! Is it possible in chimera to choose a particular part of a EM envelope and a protein and fit them?

Re: [Chimera-users] About Chimera under Linux64
by Thomas Goddard 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi Quentin, I suggest you use the 32-bit Linux Chimera version 1.2255. Or if you wait a few days a new 32-bit Linux Chimera version 1.2303 will be coming out. We do not regularly build a 64-bit Linux Chimera because we do not have a 64-bit Linux system in our lab. (I'll have to check on this -- maybe we have one now.) The only 64-bit version we routinely distribute is for the very obscure Tru64 operating system running on computers with Alpha processors. The current 64-bit Linux build (May 2005) is so old that it lacks many useful features for looking at EM maps. The reason we have not moved more quickly to support 64-bit distributions is because Chimera is strongly oriented towards interactive calculations -- that is calculations taking at most a few seconds. On gigabyte size data there is almost nothing that can be done in a few seconds. Still we understand that you may look at the data subsampled (using the volume dialog step size) and then want to create an image at full resolution (for example for a publication or talk) that may take many minutes to render and will need alot of memory -- not easily accomodated in a 32-bit address space. It is our plan to regularly distribute 64-bit Linux and Windows version in the future -- probably within a year. The main hold-up is that we do not have 64-bit machines setup in our lab yet. The usual method of working with large EM tomograms in Chimera is to focus on smaller regions of interest so that segmentation can be done interactively. Practical size chunks of data are 256^3. You can select these smaller regions in Chimera. For large pieces the graphics hardware is not able to render fast enough to allow smooth interactive rotation used in segmenting interactively. It is possible to display larger volumes and just display every other data plane along each axis.

Re: [Chimera-users] fitting a protein inside an EM reconstruction
by Elaine Meng 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

Hi Jayant, Selecting something is not the same as making it movable. Selecting something makes Actions menu items apply to it. If you want to make different models movable/unmovable, use the "Active" checkboxes in the Model Panel (Favorites... Model Panel), or various "activate" functions in the right side of the Model Panel, or the small checkboxes under the Command Line (Favorites... Command Line). These activation methods determine which models can be moved with the mouse or with movement commands like "move" and "turn." As Tom said, however, the fitting tool requires atoms to be selected. Even if only a few atoms are selected, the fitting will move the entire model containing the atoms, but maximize the density values at the selected atoms. I hope this helps, Elaine On Oct 12, 2006, at 10:14 AM, jayant_jacques wrote: > > Hi! > I have been trying to fit a protein into an EM reconstruction. > > methodology > I display my protein of interest and EM map on the same window. > I select the protein and if I click fit. > > Problem > 1.

Nothing happens!! If I move the protein the whole frame moves as a whole. 2. Also is it possible to click drag the protein into the envelope and then give the fit command such that the program will take over the fitting. As I have 3 proteins to fit into this EM Map.

So I got the following ouput file using grid command of Ptraj module to analyze trajectories. This line is ignored 1 rdparm generated grid density 100 -49 50 100 -49 50 100 -49 50 30.000 30.000 30.000 90.000 90.000 90.000 ZYX -49 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 I think the output is in the format of a XPLOR formatted contour file and can visualize this output data within chimera soft ware. But I don't know how to treat this out put file in chimera . Can I use this file directory in chimera or have to do anything else before I use chimera? Thanks Atsutoshi

Request: can model selection be added to the pull down selection menu?
by Boaz Shaanan 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi, I wonder if you could consider adding the option of selecting models to the pull-down selection menu. Right now, only chains (and other things) can be selected but quite often, when reading different models with the same chain names, the only way to select specific chains from a model would be by using the command line where models can be specified. This works of course, but having the model-selection option in the pull-down menu might add flexibility. What do you think ?

Re: [Chimera-users] window size

Hi Elaine, this is exactly what I needed. Also, thanks for a pointer to experimental features page (it's nice!). One other vaguely related question I had was whether it's possible to find out what chimera commands correspond to actions picked from menus or panels (e.g. Actions->Atoms/Bonds->Hide; Camera -> orthographic from Viewing/Side View panel, etc.). My objective is to capture everything I do in a specific session in chimera command scripts, which have an advantage over saving the session in that 1) I see what I did directly in the script, 2) these scripts are much smaller than session files.

The EM map which is the super set, which holds 3 proteins appears shrunk with respect to the protein that I am trying to fit inside the EM Map and the crystal structure How am I to overcome this hurdle? thanks Jayant Jayasundar Jayant James Postdoc, Department of Veterinary and Comparative Anatomy, Pharmacology and Physiology(VCAPP), Washington state university, Pullman 99164-6520, USA. http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0001/0001_01.asp Phone office:335-5937, Cell:1-509-432-5790

Dear All, I was wondering if there's chimera command that sets the size of chimera window. Basically I just want to have a well defined window size when I save pictures (or movies)... Thanks, -Viktor -- Viktor Hornak SUNY at Stony Brook
