Multiple Docking Using Chimera
by SOBAHY, TURKI MOHAMMED 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hello, I have a protein of interest that I need to perform molecular docking on by multiple ligands (~1000,000). The protein is in PDB file format, while ligands are in a SDF file format. Initially, the ligands were divided into multiple SDF files (mini) for hardware sake. Then, a python script was developed to handle the docking of each mini SDF file against the protein of interest. This works nicely, however docking scores (tables) have no ligands IDs associated to distinguish each score. So, basically I have scoring tables without any key IDs!! Kindly, I want to know if you have encountered the same problem and what approach you took to solve this. Thanks,? ______________________________ Turki Sobahy Research Associate Research Center (J-04) King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center (Gen.Org.)-Jeddah Branch PO Box 40047, Jeddah 21499, Saudi Arabia Tel# +966 667 7777 ext. 66736| MCD# 40716 Mobile# +966 505837027 email tsobahy(a)kfshrc.edu.sa<mailto:ESan-Diego@kfshrc.edu.sa>

Manually adjusting alignment
by Visvaldas K. 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

Dear All, I wasn't able to adjust alignment in the Alignment window, and search did not find an answer (because I get great number of false negatives)...I tried shift-arrow, ctrl-shif-arrow and many times but only once the region moved "by accident", and I wasn't able to repeat this feat. To simplify the task, let's say I have in the alignment window: seqA NQDF.RFRDseqB MKTFIEHKD I want to move "RF" by one residue to the left so that the top part becomes NQDFRF.RD What would be the sequence of keys, clicks/drags and so on to do that (also, how is the active region which is ready to move signified: green, green in a dashed frame, or perhaps white dashed frame)? Sincerely yours, Vis Kairys

need help joining existing pdb files with new sequence
by John Hess 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

HI folks, I have asked Elaine a couple questions about this project of mine. She’s been very helpful, but I’m such a beginner, I feel guilty wasting her time and the rest of the folks reading the entire chimera list as I ask how to connect this and move that. I would like to take at least 2 existing pdb files and link them to some additional peptides sequence that would be between them. The resulting pdb would describe a structure that looks like this: > protein 1 -> peptide linker -> protein 2 I’m dealing mainly with alpha helices (in coiled-coils), and I know how I want them positioned. I joined a helical peptide sequence (made using Build Structure) to one pdb file but the orientation was way off and I’m wondering how to “grab” the entire helical peptide region and move it where I want it (sorry, in the past, I have tried to modify structures with Foldit and have had a collaborator who used Rosetta to try and model my data.). Is anyone else on this list from UC Davis and willing to get together for some tutoring? Does anyone not at Davis have time to answer my questions and help? If we work well by email and I make progress, I think that this could be a $ for time or co-authorship situation. thanks, John Hess jfhess(a)ucdavis.edu

Labeling and coloring chains

In PDB format there is only one column allotted to chain ID in the ATOM lines, <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/pdbintro.html#co…> ...so it can only be one letter or number, as far as I know. So it would depend on what Chimera thinks are the chain IDs…. for example, it may have only read the single character in column 22 as the chain ID. You could probably tell by putting the mouse over some atom in the chain and see what information is in the pop-up balloon. But maybe you used some other format that allows more characters of chain ID. Nevertheless, it might not be possible to use the range syntax I showed in my previous message (first example included below). You could try it, but if ranges didn’t work, you’d have to specify all the IDs (again, all of what Chimera thinks are the IDs) in one long command, or in multiple separate coloring commands. > color red,r :.A-D > (meaning: color red ribbons-only in chains A-D in all models) > > color green,a #0:.B,.D > (meaning: color green atoms-only in chains B and D of model #0) Instead of changing chain IDs I would recommend using “alias” to give new names to the set of atoms and then use these new names in the coloring commands, e.g. alias L23 :.X (meaning assign the name L23 to chain X) color hot pink,r L23 … of course you could assign the name to a collection of multiple chains if you wanted, e.g. alias L23 :.X,.Y,.H You could also use alias with your existing changed chain IDs providing you can figure out what Chimera thinks they are. As for colors, you can specify an infinite number of colors as RGBs or hexadecimal or first define new color names and use those names, if the built-in set of named colors doesn’t have what you need. Color specification is described in the same “color” manpage I mentioned before. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html> Also described in that page are how to specify coloring labels, e.g. color orange,r,l (meaning coloring ribbons and labels only) Again I’ve CC’d the recommended address for chimera questions, chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

The question about fitting
by Zhongjun Hu 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi, everyone: Once I fit one map to the reference map, there will be some fitting result. I want to use this fitting result to align the map to the reference map using another software, for example, EMAN. How do I this? It seems that I am not clear about the fitting result, could anyone give some idea? or, is there other protocol/software to do this? Thank you! Best, Zhongjun

electron density map
by 陈柳青 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi! I display the 2Fo-Fc map in chimera, but i wonder what the meaning of step 1, step2,etc in volume viewer. The other question is what the relationship between the level in chimera volume viewer and Coot map level ?

Re: [Chimera-users] electron density map
by Oliver Clarke 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Dear Liuqing, Step size refers to whether every point in the map is displayed (step 1), or every second point (step 2), or every fourth point (step 4) and so on - basically, the coarseness of the grid. Loading a map at a larger step size will have less detail, but will be faster to load and manipulate. See here (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#sampling) for details. The level in Chimera is the same as in coot in absolute terms (e-/Å^3) - it is just that in Coot, by default, maps are adjusted in steps of r.m.s. (often called “sigma”), whereas the default behaviour in Chimera is to deal directly with absolute electron density levels. You can mimic the Coot behaviour, however, by adjusting the volume level on the command line with the option sdlevel, for example “volume #1 sdlevel 1” will set the volume with id #1 to 2xr.m.s. See here (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#level) for details. For convenience (really due to my forgetfulness), I use an alias to do this, as follows: "alias ^map_sig volume $1 sdlevel $2" so then one can use the command “map_sig #1 5” to adjust map #1 to 5xr.m.s., which should match the corresponding level in coot. If you want to mimic how maps look in coot, adjusting some of the mesh options is handy, as follows: "alias ^cootmode volume $1 capfaces false style mesh meshlighting false squaremesh false color "#08882eefa222" step 1; sop cap off; set depthCue; set dcStart 0.2; set dcEnd 1; background solid white; cofron” Where “cofron" is an alias that mimics the centering and navigation behaviour of coot: "alias ^cofron set showcofr; cofr view; clip on” Cheers, Oli.

Re: [Chimera-users] [chimera-dev] Labeling and coloring chains
by Elaine Meng 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hi Deniz, (1) It is easy to specify multiple chains in the command line. Show the command line from the Favorites menu. Example commands: color red,r :.A-D (meaning: color red ribbons-only in chains A-D in all models) color green,a #0:.B,.D (meaning: color green atoms-only in chains B and D of model #0) See manpages for color command and for command-line atom-residue-chain specification: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/frameatom_spec.html> … and you may want to try a “getting started” tutorial: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/frametut.html> <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Tutorials/GettingStarted.html> (2) For labeling the chains there are 2 general choices. A. For 3D labels that move along with the structure, there aren’t exactly chain labels, but you can choose to label one residue in each chain and then only show the chain ID and not the other residue information. For example, command “select :10” will select residue 10 in every chain that has a residue 10. Then you could use menu: Actions… Label… residue… custom, and in that dialog specify you want labels of the form: %(chain)s , Apply. Disadvantage is that they may be on top of things and hard to see. Advantage is they move around with the structure and will stay near that residue when you rotate and translate. B. you can arbitrarily add 2D labels that are just in the XY plane and do not move with the structure, containing whatever text and symbols you want. In menu, Tools… Depiction… 2D Labels. Click the Help button on that dialog to see its help. You can type in each label manually and move it around in the XY plane. You would want to get the final view for a figure or something close to it, before bothering to add 2D labels. There are examples of 2D labels in these tutorials: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/bfactor.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/density.html> C. Actually there is a 3rd related choice, just putting the mouse over an atom or residue will pop up temporary information that includes its chain ID, and sometimes that will suffice. As you can see, there are lots of tutorials and manual pages to explore. For future reference, chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu (CC’d here) is the address for Chimera usage questions. The chimera-dev list is more for programming-related questions. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Define plane or planes matched to hither or yon clip planes
by Oliver Clarke 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hi, I often encounter cases where I am showing a slab of density or model (or both), clipped using the global clip planes, and would like to show the viewer a thumbnail illustrating the position of these clip planes from an orientation orthogonal to the viewing direction (similar to what is shown in side view), to give context. Is there any way to define either two planes, one matched to the current yon and one matched to the global hither, or one thick plane with the thickness defined such that one side matches hither and the other yon? Alternatively I guess I can do this using the model-specific clip planes, but that's a little cumbersome to do when many models/maps are involved. Cheers, Oli

how to change map origin in the map file
by 许靖蔚 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Dear all: I recently have to match two maps and calculate the CC value between them. The origin of these two maps are different and the pixel value are also not the same. I could open these two maps in chimera and align them by map fitting. However, after I matched one of them to the other and saved the map, the re-opened map was still at the same position as the previous! So do you know how to same the map after fitting? Best wishes.

Save as GIF (animated or otherwise)
by Oliver Clarke 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hi, It would be very useful if Chimera (prob ChimeraX) was able to save either single frames, or, preferably, record movies in GIF format. This is not so much out of a desire to make animated gifs (although these can be handy for presentations and use on the web), but more because it makes it very easy to create labeled movies in vector graphics programs (one can edit a single frame in a vector graphics program and then insert it and alter the duration in for example GIMP or similar), which can then be easily converted back to mp4. Otherwise adding labels and custom annotations to movies is a pain for a novice like me, though if any one has any suggestions for recommended software I'd love to hear them! I've tried using iMovie and found it incredibly frustrating for the kinds of simple things like to do - adding labels, boxes, arrows etc to highlight specific domains during a morph, for example. At the moment I make a movie in chimera and convert it to a GIF using videoblend, edit in affinity designer and GIMP and then convert back to mp4 using online tools, but a more direct route would definitely be useful. Cheers, Oliver.

Dear Chimera, Hi. My name is Derrick. I have recently started learning to use Chimera to look at the capsid structure of HIV. I would like some help in the interface. One particular crystal model, the HIV-dimer model PDB 2M8L, strangely loads a bunch of ribbon structures. Would you know the way of switching off other biological unit so I can see one pair of dimer?

If it were in a script, you could simply change the color of the whole map (e.g. with “volume” command) as it is rotating (“turn” or “roll”). These would be abrupt changes of color, not gradual, and the rotation commands just use degrees and do not have any knowledge of Euler angles.

Iterative Attribute Calculator Functions + regular expressions? Challenging Question!
by Andrew Waight 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Hi All, Here's a question (probably) for the python capable. I have been recently using the Attribute Calculator quite a bit. We are looking at individual residue local environments by averaging things like kdhydrophobicity or charge within a ~5A distance of a selected residue. Would there be a way to automatically perform such a calculation on each residue (for a given distance) and assign it an attribute like averageHydrophobiticy or averageCharge? I am a little surprised that no one has already asked this question as it could be very useful. Such an average local value (albeit simplified) is probably very important to residue properties themselves. Thanks! Drew Waight

Dear Dr. Meng, thank you for your immediate and detailed reply. it is greatly appreciated. does your e-facility supports siRNA (short-interfering RNA) structures. as you know siRNA have special biochemical features in comparison to common RNA molecules, independently the sequence. is there any specific option for siRNA and /or to add chemical modifications? yours, christos -------------------------------------------- Στις Παρ., 15/04/16, ο/η Elaine Meng <meng(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> έγραψε: Θέμα: Re: [Chimera-users] chemical structure Προς: "kotakis xristos" <kotakisx(a)yahoo.gr> Κοιν.: chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu Ημερομηνία: Παρασκευή, 15 Απρίλιος 2016, 20:59 Dear Dr. Christos Kotakis, You probably meant PDB (not PDF), which you can save from the Chimera File menu or with the “write” command after creating the structure. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/write.html> To create the structure in Chimera, I can think of 3 general ways: (1) for a completely regular, idealized double helix, you can use Build Structure (in menu under Tools… Structure Editing), the Start Structure section, open “helical DNA/RNA”, choose “RNA,” enter sequence, etc. However, if there are unpaired bases on the ends or you expect the structure should be irregular rather than a perfect helix, you may need to use one of the other methods. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/editing/editing.h…> (2) there is an “Assemble2” plugin to Chimera that does all kinds of RNA structural modeling. It is quite fancy… one can draw the 2D diagram of the desired RNA and then calculate possible 3D structures. You have to get the plugin separately from <http://bioinformatics.org/assemble/index.html> <http://www.bioinformatics.org/assemble/downloads.html> (3) if there is a 3D structure already available for a similar siRNA duplex (i.e., you expect your duplex to have similar 3D structure), you can open that structure in Chimera and then try “mutating” the bases to your sequence with the “swapna” command. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/swapna.html> I hope this helps, Elaline ----- Elaine C.

Hi Mike, No problem. You can also save each chain and heteroatom in CHIMERA by doing “select:.a” -> GUI-> Save PDB and “select:.b”->GUI-> Save PDB OR run a simple script below: f = open('chainA.pdb','w') f2= open('chainB.pdb','w') pdb = open("1c1d.pdb","r") for line in pdb: if line[:4] == 'ATOM' and line[21:22] == "A": f.write(line) if line[:6] == 'HETATM' and line[21:22] == "A": f.write(line) if line[:4] =='ATOM' and line[21:22] =="B": f2.write(line) if line[:6] == 'HETATM' and line[21:22] == "B": f2.write(line) Hope this helps, Dave > On Apr 15, 2016, at 1:16 AM, Michael Sharkey <michael.sharkey(a)ucd.ie> wrote: > > Thanks Dave > > I had saved a copy containing one of the two chains in the asymmetric unit, not realising that the waters didn't come with the protein (and heteroatoms). > > Problem solved > > Thanks again (for a very swift response) > > Mike > > On 6 April 2016 at 16:23, Gae, David Hyon <DavidHyon.Gae(a)ucsf.edu <mailto:DavidHyon.Gae@ucsf.edu>> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > If you haven’t messed around the PDB file in WordPad. i think doing “ disp: hoh “ in command line should show the water. > > > Hope this help, > Dave > > On Apr 6, 2016, at 7:38 AM, Michael Sharkey <michael.sharkey(a)ucd.ie <mailto:michael.sharkey@ucd.ie>> wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > I'm trying to visualise water molecules associated with the crystal structure of an enzyme (specifically PDB ID: 1C1D).

Chimera crashes when visualizing large structure
by Klose, Thomas 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear all, I am trying to visualize a rather large structure (8280 chains with 620 amino acids each) as ribbons in Chimera, starting from a biological unit. I was able to reduce the required memory to something my Linux machine can handle (i7 with 64GB memory) by providing a file with just C-alpha atoms. Chimera successfully displays the copies as surfaces, and also starts to convert all the displayed chains into ribbons (chains as ribbon: finished?), but then becomes unresponsive, runs with 100% CPU usage on one core for several hours and finally crashes. Is this a known problem/limitation and is there some workaround to display such large structures? Thanks, Thomas

morph map tool EM density
by Franken, L.E. 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi all, I am fairly new to using chimera and was wondering if there is a way to get more control over the path that is calculated when morph map is used for two EM density maps that are different conformations. When I use the tool now it will change the visible density a great deal and rather than rotating only a certain part of the map the result seems quite confusing to look at as the whole structures move. Is there a way to fix some areas while alowing to morph subregeons? Or does anyone have a better idea on how to approach this? the map is a dimer and the change is suposed to be a difference in rotation between the two monomers. Ideally I would show this by fixing two monomers ontop of each other and allowing the other halfs to move. Thank you in advance, Linda

I just sent Chimera an email regarding a window that opened up regarding expiry of my registration. I was able to fetch a PDB file, 1GPA But the menu actions do not appear to work as they used to. I try to hide the selected ribbon, and instead of hiding it the color changes. Eventually with some persistence I can hide one of the chains. Do I have to reregister? Thank you Arthur G. Szabo

mmCIF lacks peptide bonds
by Michael Blaisse 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hello, I'm solving a crystal structure and as I'm preparing to submit the final structure to PDB, I used the PDB_Extract tool to convert my final refined .pdb to an mmCIF file as per the request of PDB. After I do this, however, I noticed that if I open the CIF file in Chimera, it does not have any connectivity between the residues. This does not appear to be a problem in PyMOL. Less importantly, I also had a question about the Sequence view in Chimera. I have a break in my chain due to unmodelled residues, and I noticed that if I float my cursor over a residue in the sequence, it shows the correct residue number at the bottom of the window, however the numbering at the side of the sequence view window is wrong after the break because it does not take the chain break into account. I appreciate any advice/help people can offer. Thanks, Mike

Then I rotate monomer #1 about that axis by 5 degrees, and all the other 60 copies will move automatically to maintain symmetry.

Mirrored density artefact

using standard OS keyboard shortcuts with Chimera?
by Jakob Suckale 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Dear all, It's perplexing for newbie users that Chimera does not react to the basic keyboard shortcuts that are used across all OS applications like Cmd+S, Cmd+O, Cmd+W. Is it possible with Chimera to use those? If not, it should be enabled. I'm aware that there are special 2-letter Chimera shortcuts (http://bit.ly/1Xr5uA4) but they are more confusing for beginners and therefore also disabled by default. We see a lot of user errors like saving the session with Cmd+S, then quitting Chimera with Cmd+Q (the only standard shortcut available, I believe) and then asking why their session info has not been saved. Included standard shortcuts as a feature in one of the next releases seems like a small thing with a lot of benefit.

Color holes in mesh?
by Oliver Clarke 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

Hi, When I want to show electron density around, for example, a single alpha helix in a structure, there are a couple of options in chimera - one would be to use vop zone, which I don't like for this purpose, because it creates a new map that can be recontoured (so one can't see where the original map has been cut). The sop analog of this, sop zone, works quite well for the purpose, but there is no easy way that I can find to cap the holes that are created in the mesh - I want to do this so that I can make it obvious where "carving" the map has affected the shape of the resultant map, or has truncated connected regions that are not displayed. Would it be possible to add such an option in ChimeraX? Or having an option to represent the inside of a surface differently from the outside would do the trick also. For the moment I have a work around (used in the attached pic): 1. Create a mesh. 2. Duplicate the mesh, change to surface rep and set transparency to 0.001. 3. Create a copy of this surface, change the transparency to 0.99 and increase the volume level by 0.001. Cheers, Oli.

Re: [Chimera-users] how to generate good STL code for atoms display
by Jakob Suckale 08 Apr '16

Hi David, Yep, you recalled that well despite the convoluted name. It does help with overall simplification but it does that for all structures proportionally and ribbons are well converted. It's just the atom models that are excessive. What I cannot do yet in Meshlab is get rid of all these pointless internal structures. The 5-membered ring in the attachment for example is full of invisible vertices inside that inflate the file size. There are ways to partially remove internal structures with Meshlab (http://bit.ly/1Tyzz1u) but they don't do a very good job because they typically remove some of the outer ribbon surfaces as well creating hole that need to be filled.

how to generate good STL code for atoms display

Dear chimeras, Does anybody know of a good way to generate lean STL code for atom/bond display? Take this example. I'm generating STLs to 3D print GFP. Exporting the ribbon of the beta barrel generates an ok STL of 6.8MB. However, exporting the wire atom display of the chromophore generates a horribly inflated STL of 13.7MB - almost twice the ribbons file despite the tiny size (see screenshot attached).

Advice on SASA
by George Tzotzos 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

I have a couple of questions on Chimera’s implementation of SASA. First, I’ll try to explain briefly my problem and then ask the questions. My protein is a homodimer. There exist 3 X-ray structures of the protein in complex with serendipitous ligand as well as in complex with biological ones. The ligands bind at the interface between the two chains of the homodimer. It is not clear whether dimer formation is a crystallographic artefact. Biochemical experiments are likewise inconclusive. It has been argued that the biological ligands may stabilise the formation of the dimer. Furthermore, it has been argued that upon ligand binding some of the interface residues become buried. I’ve conducted extensive MD simulations with and without the biological ligands. I would like to test whether ligand binding has an effect on the SASA of the interface residues. 1. Can I restrict measurement of SASA to selected residues only? In other words, can I use a mask specifying the residues of interest? 2. From the documentation, I understand that the Chimera implementation of SASA is applied on single pdb structures and not on trajectories. If I use representative structures from MD clusters, should I strip the ligand before measuring SASAs? Thank you in advance for your suggestions and apologies for the long-winded explanation. Best regards George
