ACA 2016 SAS Workshop
by Kushol Gupta 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce a workshop on "Computational Approaches to the Structural Modelling of Biological Macromolecules using Small Angle Scattering." This workshop will take place on Friday, July 22nd, 2016 at this year's American Crystallographic Association (ACA) Meeting in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. The meeting itself will run from July 22-26. WK.02 Computational Approaches to the Structural Modelling of Biological Macromolecules using Small-Angle Scattering. This one-day workshop will focus on computational approaches to structural modelling and analysis. In the first session, a brief reprise of fundamental concepts will be provided, with a focus on pitfalls in data acquisition and reduction that can affect subsequent data analysis and modelling. The remainder of the day will be allocated to the hand-on application of the leading software packages to the analysis of solution scatter. This workshop will feature direct participation from the creators of the most prevalent software packages currently used (including BIOSAXS(EMBL), SIBYLS, CCP-SAS, FoXs and IMP). The participating groups will present their software, including the basis for the algorithms employed, and further deliver guided hands-on tutorials for workshop participants. This approach will introduce and train participants on the appropriate application of these tools, including experimental design, model preparation, comparison of structural models using both SAS and complementary information, validation, and most importantly the limitations of interpretation with regards to the biological conclusions that can be made. The workshop format will include lectures, and a selection of hands-on practical exercises. Students will be expected to bring laptops with appropriate pre-installed software as necessary. Prior to the workshop, a website will be made available containing installation instructions and software for each tutorial. Tentative Program Schedule Basic Theory and Methods Joint Session 8:00 am - 9:30am - Introduction: what is SAS data good for? (short) - Theory Essentials: How to get your scattering profiles - SAXS and SANS: common pitfalls, how to ensure the data is suitable for modelling - Cross Checks and Validation 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM Coffee Break Software Application and Tutorial Session 10 am - 7pm 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM BIOSAXS(EMBL) lectures and guided tutorial 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM Lunch and Discussions (vendor presentations in the form of 'lunch and learn') 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM IMP Lectures and Guided Tutorial 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM Coffee Break 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM SIBYLS lectures and guided tutorial 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM CCP-SAS lectures and guided tutorial 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Discussion Pre-registration is mandatory.

mcopy for maps?
by Oliver Clarke 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hi all, is there an equivalent command to mcopy for maps? I find mcopy really handy for copying display settings from one molecule to another, would be great to have a similar facility for maps - maybe it already exists and I can't find it? Cheers, Oli

buriedArea calculation: MSMS vs Chimera
by Bala subramanian 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Friends, I have a task to calculate how much is the buried SASA during formation of a bi-domain protein. The usual relation to obtain is (SAS-domain1 + SAS-domain2) - SAS-complete I have a difficulty to understand how the calculation is performed in Chimera. As a test case, i used the 1crn.pdb and performed using MSMS and in Chimera. *MSMS calculation* (Input: msms -if 1crn.xyzr -probe_radius 1.5 -density 3.0) Complete system SAS = 3054.258 , (residue 1-23) pA = 2143.122 , (residue 24-46) pB = 2324.809, hence total buried = ( pA + pB) - 3054.258 = 1413.673 *Chimer calculation* surf #0 (Reply log: SAS = 3022.61) measure buriedArea :1-23 :24-46 probeRadius 1.5 vertexDensity 3.0 Status line : SAS = 697.876, SES = 423.938 Reply log: *Buried solvent accessible surface area* B1SAS = 681.191, B2SAS = 714.56, BaveSAS = 697.876 (A1 = 2116.11, A2 = 2302.43, A12 = 3022.79 = 1434.92 + 1587.86) I am not getting the calculation (and the motive as well) of the BaveSAS in the following part of the code. q1) What is Chimera actually doing here q2) Which one i should report, raw buried SAS or BaveSAS in your opinion ? ---------------------------------- for ai,a in enumerate(atoms1): a.buriedSESArea = aareas1[ai,0] - aareas12[ai,0] a.buriedSASArea = aareas1[ai,1] - aareas12[ai,1] ases121 += aareas12[ai,0] asas121 += aareas12[ai,1] for ai,a in enumerate(atoms2): a.buriedSESArea = aareas2[ai,0] - aareas12[n1+ai,0] a.buriedSASArea = aareas2[ai,1] - aareas12[n1+ai,1] ases122 += aareas12[n1+ai,0] asas122 += aareas12[n1+ai,1] careas1, careas2, careas12 = s1[4], s2[4], s12[4] ases1, asas1 = area_sums(careas1) ases2, asas2 = area_sums(careas2) ases12, asas12 = area_sums(careas12) bsas1 = asas1 - asas121 bsas2 = asas2 - asas122 bsas = 0.5 * (bsas1 + bsas2) bses1 = ases1 - ases121 bses2 = ases2 - ases122 bses = 0.5 * (bses1 + bses2) Thanks, Bala -- C.

Issues loading RESTServer extension on Headless Linux installation
by tom＠pine-biotech.com 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi all, Using the unsupported headless linux x64 installer, chimera-1.10.2-linux_x86_64_osmesa.bin, I can run Chimera at the command line but am having a very difficult time running the RESTServer extension. Using my ~/.chimera/preferences file from my OS X install where a location for Extensions was selected in the preferences and saved, and copied to linux and edited to contain the /opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.10.2/share location instead, it does open a bunch of packages on start, unlike before when it refused to load any extension. However, it still cannot start RESTServer. [root@dfw share]# chimera Package "DBPuppet" already exists and tool(s) in it will not be loaded [snip, for full output see http://pastebin.com/s3GH7mbz ] > start RESTServer Starting extension 'RESTServer' failed As such, the one reason I wanted to run Chimera headless on linux does not seem to work. I know it's unsupported so I'm not expecting anything, but perhaps this is something that can be resolved simply. I've done a few fruitless google searches and this mailing list kept coming up. Thanks for your time, Tom

RR Distance to make a Difference Plot
by Edward J Brignole 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Dear Chimera folks, I've been looking into making Difference Distance Matrix Plots (a la Richards & Kundrot, Proteins 1988) to evaluate domain movements between two models. Chimera's RR Distance plots get most of the way there and since they start from sequence alignments do a nice job handling different patches of missing residues between the two models. In addition to plotting Avg and Std Distances would it be possible to compute the differences between RR distances of two structures. Or if you don't want to implement this function in the RR Distance GUI, at least some sort of python script that could access the distance matrices from the RR Distance function and direct that to some sort of output either with matplotlib or the data as text to plot with another program. Thanks for considering it, Ed

Thanks a lot. > > Best regards, > Bing Wang > National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing Dear Bing Wang, It can be done either with graphical interfaces (tool dialogs) or with commands. You can calculate and display helix axes with the Axes/Planes/Centroids tool (in menu under Tools… Structure Analysis) or the “define” command. The axes objects will be listed in in a dialog, and you can measure the angle between any two by choosing them in the dialog with the mouse, or by specifying their identifiers (as listed in the dialog) in the “angle” command.

Automatic Bond Rotating Script
by Lisa Rohrwasser 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hello, I am currently trying to write a python script to rotate different bonds automatically many many times. The idea is to randomly chose a bond of a .pdb-File and rotate it by a certain angle. In principle the command line tool "rotation" is exactly what I would like to use, but i have difficulties implementing it. To start with rotating only one bond I already got: import chimera from chimera import runCommand as rc opened = chimera.openModels.open('~/Documents/rho.pdb') #open protein rho = opened[0] #get random bond (it is set to bond 10 for now) b = rho.bonds[10] #gives back both atoms corresponding to the bond (atom IDs are needed for command line tool "rotation") b.atoms #select bond-atoms a1 = b.atoms[0] a2 = b.atoms[1] #now i would like to use command line tool "rotation", which gives many errors rc("rotation a1 a2 <angle>") So i think the problems are 1) objects a1, a2 have the wrong datatype 2) rc does not have access to a1, a2 Now i wonder if there is a solution at all to these problems or if i have to think of a completely different way? Thanks in advance, Lisa

ribbackbone
by Edward J Brignole 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Dear Chimera developers and users, I'm trying to make a figure that shows hbond contacts with a ligand but am having a problem displaying contacts while simultaneously displaying residues and ribbons. I know that ribbackbone will allow simultaneous display of ribbon and backbone, but the problem is that this attribute is set for the entire model, not per residue. To keep the display as uncomplicated as possible I want to just show side chains except when there's a backbone contact then I want to show backbone for that residue as well. The problem arises when contacting residues are adjacent, if ribbackbone is on, then the CA's are connected, but if I turn ribbackbone off then I lose the backbone atoms I'd like to show except an occasional floating carbonyl oxygen. My workflow is basically: sel #0:LIG findhbond spec #0 sel cross intermodel F intraMol F intraRes F makePseudobonds T reveal T distSlop 0.7 angleSlop 40 ac cs ribbackbone #0 transparency 75,r #0 I'm sure there's a way to accomplish this but I haven't been able to figure it out. I saw there has been some discussion previously on the chimera-users list about ribbackbone display but I didn't find any posts that would solve this particular problem. My apologies if this situation has already been discussed. Thank you for your help, Ed

Fwd: Center of model/volume shifts
by Elaine Meng 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi Preeti, It might not be a bug if the models were somehow moved separately. Similar to my previous response on chimera-users to a slightly different question, it may be possible to bring them back into register by by (A) copying the transformation of the original map to the filtered map, e.g. command: matrixcopy #N #M … where N is the model number of the original map and M is the model number of the filtered map (see model numbers by showing the Model Panel from the Favorites menu). or (B) by resetting all model positions, e.g. command: reset If neither of those work, it would be helpful if you would report (to the chimera-bugs email address) which version of Chimera you are using (e.g. from the “version” command) and what series of steps can be used to reproduce the problem.

maintain .seg alignment to .mrc between sessions
by Amy Jobe 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello, When I segment an 80S ribosome into individual ribosomal proteins and rRNAs, it takes some time and I often need to close and reopen my session. Whenever I reopen my session, though, my .seg file is no longer aligned to my .mrc map, and I have to spend time manually (and probably slightly inaccurately) re-aligning them. I've tried using the Associate Selected option in the daily build, although I'm not sure if it's meant to maintain alignment, and it hasn't fixed the problem. Can anyone help me with this? I'm using the daily build and the most recent stable version on Mac.

using fitmap with per-frame analysis.
by Bala subramanian 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Friends, I have a task which is as follows; I have done the simulation of a protein, whose EM map is already available. I want to fit the MD snapshots on to the map and to filter out some best frames based on the overlap statistics. I am aware that chimera does only rigid body fitting. I would like to know, for instance, if I can open the EM-map and the MD traj in Chimera and use per-frame analysis to achieve my goal. Also, i need some way to output/write the fitting statistics (eg. overlap value) to a file so that i can later filter out the best frames based on the statistics. Thank you, Bala C. Balasubramanian

representative fits in chimera fitmap search
by Jan Kosinski 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hi, In the fitmap command global search, how the unique fit is selected from the cluster of similar fits? Ideally, from each cluster, I would like to obtain the fit the gave the best cross-correlation. But, I think, based on the fit_search code in FitMap/search.py, what is happening is that the first unique fit ever encountered is added to the fit list: close = b.close_transforms(ptf) if len(close) == 0: transforms = [M.multiply_matrices(ptf, mtv) for mtv in mtv_list] stats['hits'] = 1 f = Fit(models, transforms, volume, stats) f.ptf = ptf flist.append(f) b.add_transform(ptf) fo[id(ptf)] = f else: s = fo[id(close[0])].stats s['hits'] += 1 and any subsequent fit that is close to the first, would be discarded, even if it gives better cross-correlation. Do I understand correctly that the unique fit is not necessarily the best scoring fit from the cluster? Thanks in advance for clarification, Jan

I have two positions set, p1 & p3. When I do "reset p1; reset p3 100" I have a trajectory problem with the camera crashing through a structure in between p1 & p3. I would like to create a new position p2 to avoid the crash, going from p1 to p2 to p3. I can get close to the crash by a freeze command. How can I determine the frame number being executed by the reset command when I freeze?

16 Mar '16

Dear staff, we need some advice about the computational power required by the software to perform several operations/processing with big volumes obtained by cryoEM at high resolution. For example the fitting of several pdb crystal structure (n=20-30) into a single volume at high resolution of a protein complex (MW > 1.2 MDa). What kind of graphics power do we'll need to run Chimera properly with this kind of structures? and CPU/RAM performance? If you have any suggestion.

Force stick representation of a residue in ribbon display
by Eiros Zamora, Juan 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear Chimera experts, Is it possible to show in stick representation the C=O bond of the backbone of a residue while maintaning the ribbon representation of the backbone? I’ve tried setting on the ‘ribbackbone’ command, but that activates all the backbone atoms for other stick-displayed atoms, and I want to avoid that. [cid:2BB6667F-5FB4-4181-9046-58DEC52A2F11@ch.ic.ac.uk][cid:7A0C477F-BD71-4D55-96A5-FFDA096DBD9E@ch.ic.ac.uk] I’m attaching two images to clarify what I mean. Basically, to keep it as image1 but displaying the C=O bond of THR 71, to make the 2.88 Å distance clearer. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Best, Juan

question
by A G Szabo 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

I have included a part of a structure in this Email. In January Elaine Meng communicated with me about how to color an individual atom in an amino acid that is shown as a ball and stick. So you see I have colored an oxygen atom red in a threonine residue that is part of a peptide that is bound to the protein that is mainly shown as a ribbon structure. Note the Glutamic acid residue shown only as a stick and colored lime green. The peptide backbone of this residue which is in a ribbon representation is also colored lime green So question #1, how can I just color the side chain and not the peptide bond which is in the ribbon. I want to keep the ribbon a continuous blue. Note the Aspartic acid residue that is part of pink ribbon and represented as a ball and stick. So I want to color the side chain the same lime green, I know how to do that, but again the ribbon part of that Asp will also be lime green. Even if all I want is to have one of the oxygen atoms of the side chain colored red, I can do that as well except that the ribbon portion, the peptide bond also is colored red. Question #2: There is a metal ion colored light blue or cyan, How can I get rid of the four short dashed lines that link it to the aforementioned Glu and Asp, as well as another Asp residue? Thank you for your assistance. Arthur G. Szabo Professor Emeritus Wilfrid Laurier University.
