Regarding MD simulation
by Divakar S 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Hi, I have been trying to do MD simulation in chimera. However, i could not understand the exact procedure from the user help menu. Plz give us a detailed procedure for simulation and analysis if possible. I also tried to learn the procedures from previously published papers but i couldn't find any articles using MD simulation from chimera. Thank you -- *Dr. Divakar S, M.

viewing same size atoms within multiple molecules
by Andrew Garven 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Hi, I am trying to implement a script so that each individual atom in each molecule I view on chimera is the same size (ie each carbon atom i view, regardless of the size of the molecule views a the same size). I realize this must be a function of the scale factor which changes the size of the molecules to appropriate viewing size. Is there a way to properly scale each molecule so that they have a standard atom viewing size. I would appreciate any help in this regard. Andrew

voxel coordinates
by Andrew Garven 07 Jun '19

Hi I am trying to get a voxel encodings (coordinates) of molecules that are run through Chimera, as a deep learning model will have an easier time with such data. I am unsure how to retrieve such data from chimera. Any help would be greatly appreciated Andrew

Hello, Thank you to all of you for getting back to me so fast. Thanks for the help. I am looking forward to ChimeraX Best, Mike de la Flor, CMI Board Certified Medical Illustrator PhD Candidate Biology and Biochemistry Natural Sciences and Mathematics University of Houston From: Greg Couch [mailto:gregc@cgl.ucsf.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2019 1:28 AM To: Mike de la Flor; UCSF Chimera users mailing list Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] Chimera question 1f16 is a NMR structure and as such has 20 different variations of the structure. Using the command line, you can hide all except for the first structure with the command: ~modeldisplay #0.2-20. To do that graphically, bring up the Model Panel, then click on the group/ungroup button to show controls for the individual structures. Then select the structures you don't want (click, drag, control-click, and shift-click as appropriate), and click on the hide button to leave the one you want.

Hello Mr. Pettersen, I apologize for bothering you but I had a Chimera question that is best explained by the screenshot attached. For some reason Chimera is importing multiple copies of 1f16.pdb.

split map based on resolution or surface color
by Shu-Hao Liou 03 Jun '19

Hi Chimera User, Is that possible to split a density map base on its resolution? That means I have a surface color file contained all local resolution distribution through a density map. Best, Shu-hao

animation commands in a morph movie
by Natesh Singh 31 May '19

31 May '19

Dear Chimera development team, I am trying to add a simple animation into the morphed trajectory that was developed using two unique conformations (protein and proten-ligand complex). I want the ligand to fly into the binding site (of course ligand is not considered in the morph since it was not a part of a chain), but I guess this could be done. contents of my model panel. ID 0 ligand surface ID 0 conformation A (protein-ligand complex) ID 1 conformation B (protein) ID 2 Morph (400 frames) I am adding the following commands into the perframe box of md movie: # Save bound view. savepos p1 # Move ligand away and save unbound view. move y -10 model #0 ; turn z -30 model #0 center #0 scale 0.2 savepos p2 #fly ligand into the binding site reset p1 100 wait But it's not working the way I want. I just want the ligand to fly slowly into its original position may be within 25-50 frames. Could we execute the commands at a specific frame number? Kindly let me know what would be the correct commands to achieve this effect. Many thanks for your help. Sincerely, Natesh University of Lille

Select by attribute value in a .psf file
by MARIA CLARA BLANES MIRA 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hello Chimera users, I am trying to see the movement of some phospholipids in a lipid bilayer when a peptide is anchoring to this membrane. I have a .pdb, .psf and several .dcd files. When I select one of these phospholipids I obtain four molecules selected (with the same name due to the segments). I have been trying with ’Select by attribute value’/atoms/pdbSegment and it works perfect because this way I can specify the segment where it is. But I can’t find the way to do the same with the .psf file. Could you tell me how should I do it?. Thank you very much, clara
