Inactive atoms
by Nazahiyah Rodzli 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Dear Chimera Users, My Chimera seems to display atoms and side chains in dimmed dark colour (picture below). I’ve tried to change the colour but they don’t work. I also can’t select any of the atoms/sidechains by mouse click+ctrl unless I pick select all from the select menu. I am using Chimera 1.10 version. Could you help me how I can change the settings perhaps? Best regards, Naza

Rotate and transform command
by 大帅 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi, Therefore, we used UCSF Chimera to have a map's smmetry axes (approximately) parallel to the XYZ axes. The procedure followed by the relion tutorial we used for that was to read in InitialModel/symC1/run_it003_class001.mrc; use the duplicate option under the File menu of the Volume viewer. Then to deactivate map #1 on the Model Panel; rotate map #0 to have it’s symmetry axis more or less parallel to the XYZ axes; and then to use in the Command Line entry field: run_it003_class001.mrc; and save this model in the InitialModel/symC1/ directory with the name inimodel.mrc I have done as the above tutorial in relion, but the saved inimodel.mrc file does not change its position or orientation at all. So, my question is what commend can save a map after rotating or transforming its x,y,z coordinate ? What is the procedures to do so ? Thanks Dashuai

Command line selection in Chimera
by Jerry Honts 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Is there any easy way to select *a range of chains* in complex models like the ribosome in Chimera at the command line? I haven't been able to work out the syntax for this type of complex selection at the command line. For example, what is the syntax of the command to select chains 1G through 1Z and chains 10 through 19 in PDB file 5DOY [without explicitly listing them one by one]? I may be missing something simple, and I have not been able to get it to work or find an example in documentation. I have been able to do this in Chimera X but not the current version of Chimera. Thanks, Jerry E. Honts -- Jerry E. Honts, Ph. D. Associate Professor of Biology Drake University 2507 University Avenue Des Moines, IA 50311-4505 Science Connector Building 210 (faculty office)

Re: [Chimera-users] Pseudobonds in mmCIF
by Elaine Meng 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Just for the benefit of the list, the problem with spurious bonds between residues in Chimera was solved by adding sequence information to the input mmCIF file.

Those problems are a major reason why we wrote ChimeraX. So please check out ChimeraX, http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/. The mmCIF reader is several orders of magnitude faster than Chimera's and presents the author numbering to identify residues instead of the internal mmCIF numbering. The graphics in ChimeraX are better too. If there is some feature in Chimera that isn't in ChimeraX yet that you need, please let us know. ChimeraX also works with VR headsets. > > And while ChimeraX shows your structure "correctly". It could do a much better job if the missing sequence information were in the mmCIF file. In Phenix, that is done by running the mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition program, i.e, by preparing the mmCIF file so that is suitable for submission to the PDB. That would probably help Chimera too. > > > > HTH, > > Greg

Output of distance measurements
by Marco Sette 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Dear all, I have a very primitive script to measure distances, like distance :1.a@ha :5.b@ha distance :1.a@ha :4.b@ha distance .... etc. I run the script in File --> Open and get the distances in the Structure Measurements panel and then Save. The output file list all the distances but, for my analysis, it would be better to keep the lines separated by a blank line, or something like this. Maybe this is possible by some change in my primtive script but I have no idea... Thanks for your help, Marco

Pseudobonds in mmCIF
by Henry Nguyen 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hi, I am trying to disable all pseudobonds between gaps in my structure in an mmCIF file. I've tried: In the Pseudobond Panel, there is only one group (distance monitor) and it has 0 pseudobonds in the group. Hiding that group doesn't change anything. I also tried disabling them using setattrr ("setattr p display false"/ "setattr p display false") but neither didn't change anything. If I select a psuedobond and examine it using the Selection Inspector, the Pseudobond tab is unselectable under Inspect. Only if I go to the Bond tab can I hide it. I have to use mmCIF format as I have too many chains for a pdb. Thanks, Henry

Inquiry about hydrogen bond analysis- important
by Mohamed S. Nafie 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Chimera team. I made the hydrogen bond analysis for the co-crystallized ligand for 1DB1 receptor. it makes on the PDB 6 hydrogen bonds through both oxygen and hydrogen of the hydroxyl group (three of both) with the amino acids residues in the binding site, Also chimera forms 6 but through oxygen of hydroxyl group only. This my first question why? The second question is the structure of the Co crystallized Ligand is not correct, when I adjust the bond order of it by Maestro and save it as pdb and reopen it by Chimera, it forms only two hydrogen binds why? Please try to help me in this question, because I need it necessary Thanks Mohamed S.

regarding opening mouth or poc file on chimera
by Ming 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hi Chimera team, I have a quick question regarding opening CASTp file on Chimera. I downloaded the pdb file together with mouth and poc file and saved them in the same folder. I also made sure the names are consistent among these files. However, I am still getting error messages as following. Error reading 3mbg.poc: ValueError: Mouth info header missing or IDs not consecutive File "/home/ming/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.11.2/share/CASTp/__init__.py", line 88, in processInfoFile " IDs not consecutive" % label.capitalize()) See reply log for Python traceback. I looked up the Chimera manual online and it looks pretty straight forward to open either the mouth or poc file but I am not sure why I keep getting the error messages. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ming

Hi I am just calculating the Electrostatic Potential, and I wanted to know your opinion which force field is better for metallo proteins.And what is criteria to choose and not to choose the pKA... As I am doing the reaction at different pH and what I see in the PDB the proteins are crystallized at different pH then the reaction conditions. Structures are solved at low pH but the reactions are done at high pH. best Jiri

box cut out is not a cube!
by Dieter Blaas 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Dear all and Elaine, I have an mrc volume of 450 x 450 x 450 px, put a marker at a particular location and cut out a box with 'Box around selected atoms with padding 60'. However, Chimera shows me the boxed volume as 124 x 123 x 124. I understand that the higher value must result from the voxel size being 0.97 A/px, so the dimensions would be 123.71 x 123.71 x 123.71 or anything similarly rounded. BUT why are the dimensions in x,y,z different and the box not exactly cubic? I noticed that it might have to do with centering but I do not understand how I can cut out a 'really' cubic box!

Question about docking in Chimera
by Ulrich, Rebecca 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hello, I am trying to do some docking studies in chimera and I have been following a protocol given to me in a drug discovery class that walks me through the dock prep and autodock vina options in chimera. I have tried to run some docking and it will tell me "execution complete- check outputs to verify successful execution" but I don't get any popups with any information about the docking. Is there a way to get the docking values to show? I have done this assignment before and didn't have issues, but now as I am redoing it to prep for some other docking studies, I can't get it to work. Thanks, Rebecca

Re: [Chimera-users] [Chimera] Failure preparing structure for Autodock Vina
by Elaine Meng 20 Dec '17

Dear Jutapat, The chimera-users address (CC’d here) is recommended for questions, for your future reference. Email to me only might fall through the cracks. It is hard to tell what the problem is without having your data, but the message says it cannot figure out the atom type of some atom Ha, so maybe the hydrogen atoms in your input structure have weird names or the names are in the wrong columns of the file. You might try deleting all hydrogens (e.g. command: delete H) before running the tool. However, if that doesn’t work you probably need to correct some error in your input file (the file format or atom names in the file). I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera Users! I have a pdb file for the 16 monomers of the coarse-grained GPCRs and its corresponded trajectory in dcd. In both files all the monomers are defined as the same letter of the chain (X). My question: are there an easy way to assign a unique letter to each of the monomers in the both files via Chimera to facilitate the further analysis ? Thanks so much! James

question on visualization
by C.J. 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Hi specialists, I have a problem when adjusting the level of a map. If the level > 0, it seemed OK, but when it is less than 0, it showed a solid box. This is different from EMAN2. In EMAN2, the threshold less than 0 also works. I'm not sure whether the defining of level is the same as the threshold in EMAN2. Or is there any other way to show the density of a map as in EMAN2 with threshold less than 0? Some snapshots of the visualization in both programs are attached to the post. Thank you! regards, Jianhao
