Is there any one knows how to fit the density map to this red model?

The answer you got from the Delphi people sounds familiar to me which is why I switched to APBS interface on Chimera (works on both Windows and linux). The .dx file produced by APBS is read and contoured nicely by Chimera. If you need to ionize the structure, there is a Windows PDB2PQR executable as mentioned by Elaine (I understand that you're using Windows).

The latest Delphi version that I tried (8.4) produced a cube format file which formally can be read and contoured in the Chimera volume viewer. I hated the way the electrostatic surface produced that way looked and abandoned it. Delphi v. 6 which I have (and which I think Elaine used 3 years ago) produced the good old .phi which is file properly displayed in Chimera . I think one can still get hold of V.6 from the Delphi distribution site. To avoid this mess I used the APBS interface of Chimera which worked fine and produced a nice, familiar style, looking electrostatic surface (see for example Fig. S10 in the supplementary of doi: 10.1093/nar/gkz604).

Re: [Chimera-users] Problem with DelPhi in chimera

Hello, That sounds like a problem with your DelPhi setup, or you didn’t wait long enough for the calculation to finish. Sometimes it takes several minutes. Instead of DelPhi, you could try using PDB2PQR and then (on the resulting pqr file) using APBS. Chimera has interfaces to both of these: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/apbs/pdb2pqr.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/apbs/apbs.html> …or you can use their web server directly, outside of Chimera: <http://nbcr-222.ucsd.edu/pdb2pqr_2.1.1/> <https://apbs-pdb2pqr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/downloads.html#web-servers> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi, The Chimera v.6 that I used was the linux version NOT windows. The answer you got from the Delphi people sounds familiar to me which is why I switched to APBS interface on Chimera (works on both Windows and linux). The .dx file produced by APBS is read and contoured nicely by Chimera. If you need to ionize the structure, there is a Windows PDB2PQR executable as mentioned by Elaine (I understand that you're using Windows).

However, the file you attached was not the ?.phi? file (electrostatic potential map) output from DelPhi. It was just the text output from the DelPhi program. If DelPhi runs successfully on your structure, it will create a separate file, with name ending in .phi, that is the electrostatic potential map. If by ?cube? you mean Gaussian cube grid, Chimera does read that format. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#volume> However, this format is handled simply as a map that is not necessarily electrostatic potential, so it would require more steps in Chimera to get the coloring you want.

problems with multifit in chimera
by Nimit Jain 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hello I have recently been encountering problems with MultiFit within Chimera on both Ubuntu and Windows 10 (trace from reply log below--I get the same error on both operating systems). Even fitting with datasets that was working earlier in the year (~August-September) is not working anymore. My guess is that some changes have happened on the server that hosts Multifit. Could someone please try and reproduce the bug and let me know how I should troubleshoot this? I am trying to fit a single protein structure to an EM map and as I said, this was working earlier this year. I also tried downloading IMP on my Windows machine and using MultiFit from in there. This was running into some separate issues which I will not go into here since they are not directly related to Chimera. Thanks and best Nimit Trace from reply log: Application stderr ----- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/generate_assembly_input.py", line 2, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/create_all_surfaces.py", line 2, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/generate_assembly_anchor_graph.py", line 3, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/run_fitting_fft.py", line 2, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/generate_indexes_from_fitting_solutions.py", line 2, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/create_auto_proteomics_file.py", line 6, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-repository/modules/multifit2/bin/align_proteomics_em_atomic_plan.py", line 3, in <module> import IMP.multifit File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> _IMP_multifit = swig_import_helper() File "/home/socr/a/yz/local/imp-debug/build/lib/IMP/multifit/__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper import _IMP_multifit ImportError: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opal-local/bin/multifitWS.py", line 438, in <module> main() File "/usr/local/opal-local/bin/multifitWS.py", line 46, in main VersionMap[cf["version"]](cf) File "/usr/local/opal-local/bin/multifitWS.py", line 98, in v1_run asymWriteSolution(cf) File "/usr/local/opal-local/bin/multifitWS.py", line 411, in asymWriteSolution raise RuntimeError("Unable to find file combinations.output") RuntimeError: Unable to find file combinations.output -----

Hi, I installed Molecular Dynamics Viewer in ChimeraX but I am not able to use it, . I use it successfully in Chimera (no X). But in ChimeraX. Can you please help me?

Regarding the UNDO issue raised by Luca

Hi, Is not possible to install an automatic 'save session' at intervals determined by the user just as done in an MS word session? This at least may rescue the last operations. Following my own Chimera 'disasters' of this kind, I actually save session quite frequently when it becomes heavily loaded, particularly prior to a major new operation. My 2p.

At the moment I am using just distance restraints formatted like in the Chimera documentation (res1 res2 dist stdev). This file only contains crosslinking data. Is there a way to also include secondary structure restraints, that can serve as additional information during homology modelling? Or can I provide some were another file including this information separate from the crosslink information?
