While importing we detected an older version of numpy in ['/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy']. One method of fixing this is to repeatedly uninstall numpy until none is found, then reinstall this version. I also tried rm -rf ~/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/ repeatedly, but that didn't work. I couldn't use Finder to navigate to the python2.7 folder to delete the files manually, either. Any help would be appreciated.

Importing Modules into Chimera
by Garrett Scapellato 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Chimera Help, Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am attempting to use the "pandas" module while using Chimera to read python code. I receive this error any time I do. I am able to use pandas while using other python interpreters on my computer. I am also able to use other modules, such as NumPy when using Chimera to run python code. Any help in this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Garrett Scapellato Research Technician II Edwards Lab DHVI Duke University [cid:d20c0851-a63b-49a0-a3e5-efa576c4dc55]

Hi All, I am trying to move our viewmotions.bc.edu <http://viewmotions.bc.edu/> server to a new server running Centos 9.

I am an enthusiastic user of Chimera for non-protein applications (in particular zeolites), and would like to use it in an upcoming workshop on charge flipping. However, when I tried to check the website (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/ to give students instructions for downloading, I got the message Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Can you check into this? I tried Safari, Firefox and Edge, and all have the same problem. Thanks! Lynne McCusker

Can I import the molecule Cellulose in Chimera?
by Mazin Nasralla 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hello, I would like to open a molecule of cellulose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose in Chimera. I go to Open Fetch ID and open the Pubchem option and input the id and I get this error. [cid:image001.png@01DA7784.1097E770] I can import cellobiose which is a two monomer β-Glucose. If I could import something with say 6 monomers that would be fine. Is there a way to do it? Thanks, Mazin

volume image intensity 1 vs 0.99
by Tyler Luchko (Lists) 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hello, I’m trying to fine tune the intensity of my volume image, but there is a large discontinuity between an intensity of 0.99 and 1 that is causing me problems. Using the following script, I get volume #1 style image volume #1 colormapongpu true volume #1 level 0,1 color black level 1,.55 color white level 2,.6 color blue level 4,0.99 color orange Changing the last list to volume #1 level 0,1 color black level 1,.55 color white level 2,.6 color blue level 4,1 color orange I get The last level goes from barely visible to completely opaque. I don’t know if this is the intended behavior or not, but I would like to have a smooth transition to full intensity. Is this possible? I notice that for levels between 0 and 1, the intensity seems to work as I expected. It is only for levels greater than 1 that I notice this behavior. I am on a Mac using version 1.7.1. The MRC file is 59 MB, so I have not included it. If it helps, the visualization is trying to show the water density around methanol (not shown) relative to bulk. Black (0) is zero density, white (1) is bulk density, blue (2) is 2 times bulk density, and orange (4) is 4 time bulk density. Thank you, Tyler

Rview in UCSF Chimera
by Richardson, Cory 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hi, I am new to chimera and would like to use 'rview' in UCSF Chimera. I have UCSF Chimera version 1.17.3 installed and would like to use 'rview' as it is not currently listed under Tools as an option to select. May you please provide guidance on how I may get UCSF Chimera to recognize and integrate 'rview'?

how to select atoms without substituents?
by Sara Luz Gomez Maya 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hi all, Is there any way to select (or directly remove) atoms without substituents? The situation is that I have to cut a region of a system. So, after selecting by zone *without* including the entire residues, I save the selection and I get some single atoms that I would like to get rid of. For example, in the attached file I got H atoms, C atoms, and also C2 chains that do not have any sense even if I complete their valences by adding H. Notice that in such a way they will become H2, CH4 and CH3CH3, respectively, which are very strange molecules for my system that actually contains phospholipids, ibuprofen, and water. I would like to know if there is any automatic tool to do it, for example defining an attribute or using the command line. Any help is appreciated. Regards, Sara

Dock problem selenium atom
by turgut şekerler 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

Dear Chimera Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about an issue I encountered while attempting to perform docking with a selenium atom using the Dock Prep module in Chimera. My goal is docking selenium atom and my target protein. But ı always get a error message : cant prepare ligand. I have been utilizing Chimera's Dock Prep module to prepare ligands for docking with proteins, and it has been an effective tool thus far. However, I have encountered difficulties when attempting to prepare a ligand containing a selenium atom. It seems that the Dock Prep module is unable to handle the selenium atom properly, resulting in errors during ligand preparation. I have attempted to troubleshoot this issue by researching error codes and exploring potential solutions, but I have been unable to find a resolution. As such, I am reaching out to inquire if there are any specific recommendations or alternative approaches that could be used to successfully prepare a ligand containing a selenium atom for docking in Chimera. I understand that Chimera utilizes standard force field parameters for ligand preparation, but given the unique properties of selenium, it may be necessary to consider additional or specialized parameters to ensure accurate docking results. Any guidance or assistance you could provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am eager to resolve this issue and continue utilizing Chimera for my docking studies. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely,
