Hello User Help Team, Can you help address Ella’s question below regarding using Chimera with Matchmaker? I let her know that there are no trial versions of Chimera. Thank you, JoAnne From: Ella Czarina Morishita <ecm(a)vi14si.com> Date: Friday, April 12, 2019 at 6:48 AM To: "chimera(a)cgl.ucsf.edu" <chimera(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: UCSF Chimera License Inquiry Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Ella Morishita, and I am a principal investigator at a biotech in Japan. I am interested in downloading Chimera, but I was not sure if we are supposed to pay for the license for the use of Chimera at our biotech. I am currently running a case study involving structures of nucleic acids and would like to superimpose the structures using Chimera and Matchmaker. I am also not sure if Chimera and Matchmaker would work, so I was wondering if there is any trial package we can avail? Thank you.

Re: [Chimera-users] Two-letter ID of polypeptide in Chimera
by Elaine Meng 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi Pu Qian, PDB format only has one column for chain ID, so if you put in a 2-character chain ID it is no longer the correct format. Chimera only reads and understands the correct PDB format, not modified formats (except “pqr”), so I believe you would need to convert to mmCIF. See PDB format documentation, chain ID is column 22 only: <http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/file-format-content/format33/sect9.html#…> Please use the address chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu (CC’d here) for Chimera questions unless you are including private data. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

The protein can be displayed using chimera, however, chains of ID, name of ligands cannot be recognised by the chimera. Is there any way I can see them in the Chimera, or I have to convert it to .cif first? > > Best regards > > Pu Qian

Marker Link Text Label
by Carlos G. Oliver 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hello, I would like to know if it’s possible to add a text annotation to marker links (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumepat…) Ideally this would be something similar to the `note` attribute in the marker objects but that would display above the link cylinders. Thanks! Best, Carlos G. Oliver McGill University

Hello. I've used Chimera for a year, but I can't start Chimera suddenly.I deleted the old version, and installed the latest version, chimera-1.13.1-win64.But it showed the same error.When I start chimera, I got this message.--------------------------------------------------Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files initializing general preferencesloading Tixinitializing graphicsReturn code: -1073741819Press return or enter to to exit----------------------------------------------------I found the similar error reported previously. (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2011-December/007021.html)So I ran the dxdiag program on my computer and attached the file including all information from dxdiag.I will be grateful for any help you can provide. Best wishes,Jimin Park.

Helical Parameter estimate using Chimera
by Rejaul Hoq Nayem 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hi All, I want to estimate Helical parameter ( Helical Rise, Twist, asymmetric sub unit, per turn ) of Tau filament for Reference Module generation using Chimera. Is it possible to estimate from raw micrographs or 2D Class Average by Chimera? I was wondering if any of you can provide me procedure if any, will be a great help. Eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks in Advance, Reja [image: Mailtrack] <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=sig…> Sender notified by Mailtrack <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=sig…> 04/14/19, 8:11:49 PM

Now, I have tried to split a special part from a whole map with the methods of surface zone (done) and vop multiply (still trying), but I found that the effect was not satisfactory. Is there some way to split a map much more real，accurate and precise as possible. Thank your very much! > Sincerely, > Lei Hi Lei, Chimera questions should be sent to the chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu address, CC-d here. I really have no idea what you are trying to do. If you have some atoms and you want to split the map near those atoms from the rest of the map, instead use the Color Zone tool which has a Split Map button. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/colorzone/colorzo…> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Morphing two structures that one is mutant.
by Yehuda Halfon 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hi all, I want to do a movie with a morphing inside. One problem I have is that one structure has a deletion of 4 AA and this leads to a funky morphing. Is there a way to do so and to embed it in the movie script? Thanks, Yehuda Halfon

Area central hole oligomer
by Roberto Marotta 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

Hi, I have the density map of a large oligomer resolved at 5 A. I would like to measure the area of the hole at the center of the oligomer. The five subunits that form the oligomer delimit the hole that is open and irregular in shape. My idea is to measure the area of the hole in a central slice of the map. Amy suggestions are really appreciated! Thank you, Roberto Inviato dal mio dispositivo Huawei
