Query on the force field for energy minimization
by Prabuddha Bhattacharya 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Dear Sir I would be grateful if you kindly let me know what force field is used by Chimera to optimize the geometry of a small organic molecule (not peptide) if I minimize the structure using the parameters as shared in the attached file. Thank you Kind regards *Prabuddha Bhattacharya * [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…> 13/01/24, 15:02:51

Chimera export morph animation to 3D software
by Rebekah Moore 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to export a morph animation to a 3D software like C4D, Maya, or Blender? I don't wish to render a "movie" in Chimera, as I would like to add the protein morph to a 3D scene in C4D with other animated objects and render it using Redshift. Is this possible? I've tried exporting in vrml xmd and glb formats, which in theory can have animation data, but when I import the files into C4D or Blender the protein has no keyframes and is static. Thanks for your help! Best, Rebekah

Finding interacting residues between receptor and ligand
by Prathvi Singh 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

Hi Elaine, I used the HPEPDOCK server (http:// huanglab.phys.hust.edu.cn/hpepdock /) to dock a ligand onto a receptor and downloaded the conformation (pose) of the ligand with lowest energy. Next I opened the receptor and ligand structure in UCSF chimera. The ligand fitted perfectly in the binding site. Now is it possible to know which residues of the ligand are interacting with the receptor and what is the type of non-covalent interaction between them? Thanks in advance, Prathvi

Need help using AutoDock Vina with Chimera on Mac
by Kush Unadkat 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

Greetings I am a student and I just got a new Mac and I am having a difficult time using AutoDock Vina in Chimera on my Mac. When working with two proteins (.mol2) format, I use AutoDock Vina in tools, input the required values and describe the path to “vina” using the browse button but instead of getting a pop up with the docking possibilities, I get an error like this: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: ‘docking.receptor.pdb’ I tried to look into the problem and if I can understand this correctly, I has something to do with Mac not allowing users to Write on the disk but I’m not sure. Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong or how I can solve this issue? I am currently working on a project and I have a deadline so it is really important that I find a solution soon. Thank you. Your assistance is really valuable to me.

Highlighting residues
by Henen, Morkos 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Hello, I'm running into an issue with using Chimera. When I move with the cursor over a protein residue or particular atom, it is used to show the name/number of this residue or atom. Now, for some reason, this option doesn't work. It has to be something I disabled by mistake, but I can't find that. Could you kindly guide me on what I can do to fix that? Thanks a lot Morkos Morkos Henen, Ph.D. Assistant Professor - Research University of Colorado-Anschutz Medical Campus Denver, USA
