Analysis of the protein-protein binding interphaces in MARTINI models
by James Starlight 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Dear Chimera users! I would like to make some analysis of the protein-protein binding established in coarse-grained MARTINI simulations. Briefly Chimera has recognized a coarse-grained pdb file of 16 martini models of GPCRs. What Chimera tools (e.g. contact maps, clustering of interphaces) should work with CG models? What tricks should be used to make this analysis easier? Because I am working with several proteins in one system, I would like to work with its CG models without the conversion to all atomistic representations. I thank you so much for the help! James

Axes/Planes/Centroids for the OPM membrane visualization
by James Starlight 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Dear Chimera Users, I have a question regarding Axes/Planes/Centroids for the visualization of the membrane plane predicted by OPM. Firstly, I have uploaded my structure with DUM atoms. Than, I selected the DUM atoms in both layers and try to show the membrane plane via defining of a plane for it. As the result, a cylindrical surface oriented perpendicular to the imaginative membrane has been emerged. What should I change in options to obtain it aligned along the membrane normal in a correct way? Is it possible to make more flexible selection of the DUM atoms only in the selected layer? Thank you for the help! Gleb

I use most of the drawing commands, to create graphical annotations (arrows, boxes, spheres). And I love the fact that they can be colored and made transparent. The whole format is potentially useful to me. This is a big advantage of Chimera over pymol for example. Don't loose that. Pymol is a mess for that and it forces you to go down to Python. Going through a simple specialized text format like BILD is a huge win. The BILD file format is trivial to generate by hands (for quick test) and via any programming language (when in production).

Match command question
by Yann STERCKX 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Dear Chimera users, I've been struggling with the match command and was hoping you could help me out. I'm working a tetrameric enzyme. When the enzyme binds ligands, its domains rotate over a pivot point in the monomer. What I would like to do is superpose different liganded structures of the enzyme on the four monomer pivot points. Here's what I've done so far: * Each liganded state of the tetrameric enzyme is a single model * I use the match command to superpose the structures on the monomer pivot points (residues 430-433 in the structure). I used the following command match #model1:430-433 #model2:430-433 What is strange is that I obtain exactly what I want for 2 out of 4 models. Using this command I get an rmsd of 0.77A. But for the other 2 models, match does not seem to work as I obtain an RMSD of 27A and the superposition is clearly off. Including the iterate option does not alleviate the problem. I don't want to use matchmaker because this feature will, at least in my understanding, try to optimally fit two chains (or selections within two chains) on top of each other. If I do that, I do not get to see how the enzyme rotates around the monomer pivot points. How come match works really well for 2 out of 4 structures, but fails to perform the same task for the rest? Any pointers on what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks and kind regards, Yann PS: I've browsed through the archive, but could not really find a thread related to this problem (unless I overlooked it).

PipesAndPlanks coloring not accurate
by Andrew Hagen 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hello, I have a protein model that I colored according to region: N-terminal domain (green), a domain that I inserted (gray), and the flanking (GGS)2 linkers (tan). When I apply PipesAndPlanks, the tan regions are changed to either green or gray, which is not desired (and apparently, the PipesAndPlanks' color cannot be changed once rendered). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? To add a little more detail, I manually Frankensteined this model together. At the genetic level, it's just a domain insertion, flanked by linkers, but in Chimera I did this by: Opening my wt protein model (green), splitting the chain into two models at an internal site, generating GGSGGS linkers de novo in Chimera and joining these to the new models, and then finally joining those two fragments through a "bridge" of another model. There was lots of manual torsioning and minimizing using FoldIt in this process. I can imagine a work around is just to overlay two PipesAndPlanks renders and masking different regions, but this seems inelegant. Any assistance/advice is appreciated! --Andrew

Re: [Chimera-users] visualisation of volumes
by Elaine Meng 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello Michał, The answer is actually shown in the command line of your screenshot image! You would use the “volume” command to set levels and colors. Instead of a color name you could give r,g,b,a values (red, green, blue, alpha=opacity, each on a scale 0-1). Just like you can say “level” multiple times in the same command, you can also give “color” multiple times. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#general> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Command line for labelling specific residues in a zone
by Mark Rosenberg 16 Nov '17

I am not sure if this request was missed. I am having difficulty finding the syntax to write a line command in Chimera to label the non-polar or polar residues in say a 5 Angstroms zone. I would be grateful if you could advise me how to code the command line for labelling these residues with a 1-letter code please ? Once I see the format then I can readily adapt this to other situations. Thank you in advance. Mark

Chimera/Modeller to add missing residues

Re: [Chimera-users] the matrix reported in 'fit in map'
by Tom Goddard 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi Qiang, Glad you figured this out. Chimera uses whatever map origin is specified in the map file, and this may not follow the EMAN2 convention of putting the origin at the center of the map. You can change the map origin in Chimera using Volume Viewer panel menu entry Features / Coordinates, and you could save a new map with that origin with Volume Viewer menu File / Save Map As…. Tom > On Nov 13, 2017, at 8:10 PM, 周强 wrote: > > Hi Tom, > Thank you very much for your kind reply. > I have tested the Chimera matrix in EMAN2 Transform class as you described. The rotation part is consistent between Chimera and EMAN2. The translation part is also consistent if the origin index is set to the center of the map. ( For even images, the center is at (nx/2,ny/2) where the first pixel is at (0,0). For odd sized images, the center is at ((nx-1)/2,(ny-1)/2).

Keep in mind that the rotation is about the origin of the map coordinates which is set by the “Origin index” value (shown with Chimera Volume Viewer menu entry Features / Coordinates).

working with PDB files from XplorNIH
by Miriam Gochin 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

I am wondering if it is possible in Chimera to select between different chains in a multimer that are defined by the SEGID parameter in XPLOR. This appears on columns 77-80 of the PDB file, e.g. in this homotrimer: ATOM 1 N GLN 1 -2.276 -27.488 29.307 1.00 0.00 A ... ATOM 684 N GLY 1 4.365 -26.465 20.200 1.00 0.00 C --- ATOM 1357 N GLN 1 13.798 -26.207 29.441 1.00 0.00 E ... Atom selection results in picking up 3 atoms instead of 1, since Chimera expects the chain designation after the residue name. The XPLOR output is therefore not compatible with Chimera input requirements and I am wondering if there is a workaround. Many thanks for any suggestions. --------------------------------- Miriam Gochin Touro University California miriam.gochin(a)tu.edu 707-638-5463

Hello experts, I have tried reloading many things and switched browsers. When I am in SFLD and want to view my aligned sequences of the subgroup identified by my enzyme, in chimera, I get the error message: Error while processing /Users/afm/Desktop/sfld-3.chimerax: '/var/folders/zg/vzx644v88xl59y001s75rw2h0000gp/T/hmmer_align_fsgWHiJp.sto' is not a Stockholm file Also Any ideas?

labels turned white

Dear community, I encountered a problem with 2D labels turning white disregards what colour presets I give. The script reads title presets from a file (2dlabel path) and then display the title with these commnads: 2dlabels change * bgColor 1,1,1,0.75; 2dlabels change title visibility show The 'title' label should appear as opaque black font as defined in the label file: Label title (x,y): (0.18,0.5) text: u'Title' shown: False font size(s): 40 font style(s): bold font typeface(s): sans serif color(s): (0, 0, 0, 1) But it appears in white. Bizarrely all other presets in the label file translate into the title appearance as they should except for the colour. I run Chimera 1.11.12 (build 41280) on Unix. Script and label file are attached. Thank you.
