Dear All, Suppose there is a 100-residue protein opened in chimera, and it was scaled to a windows which can hold 10 residues, for example residue 10-20. Is any good way we first center on residue 15, then smoothly center on residue 16 (window hold residue 11-21), then smoothly center on residue 17 (window hold residue 12-22), then smoothly center on residue 18 (window hold residue 13-23), ......., until we center on residue 100? Here I emphasize "smoothly" so that the residue "move" was not too sudden to the eye. Best regards. Smith

label residues

Hello: I got a question on label residues in Chimera. Is it possible to use a simple command line to label all protein residue name and number displayed in the workspace? Thanks you very much Albert

can you provide more opition for webGL?
by Albert 16 Oct '15

Hello everybody: I am just fascinated by the webGL function in Chimera and I am googling it today. Here I found something is even more interesting: http://istar.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/iview/ As far as we can see, it provide much more options in the above link. I am just wondering, could the Chimera developer also consider provide more options for the exported webGL file? That's definitely would be very attractive for the users. Thanks a lot Albert

Hi Eric, I had no idea you could do this, it works great and could be very handy!! The colors and lighting (and positions) don’t seem to be preserved though and differ between firefox and safari - see the attached screenshots and test webgl of 1BL* with EDS maps (WebGL link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jlwt8ynrz59w5qx/test_webgl.html?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/jlwt8ynrz59w5qx/test_webgl.html?dl=0>). Oli. > Hi Albert, > Look at the File->Export Scene menu. That allows you to export to various file formats that your recipient may be able to view without any easy ability to save the result as a PDB file. In particular the “WebGL” export can be viewed as a web page in most modern browsers, with the ability to manipulate the structure interactively. > > —Eric > > Eric Pettersen > UCSF Computer Graphics Lab > > > > On Oct 16, 2015, at 6:41 AM, Albert <mailmd2011 at gmail.com <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-users>> wrote: > > > > Hello: > > > > I've made a Chimera section which I would like to share with somebody else.

Hello: I've made a Chimera section which I would like to share with somebody else. However, I don't want the PDB within Chimera section to be exported by others. Is it possible for us to export some special file format so that other users can only visualize my file, but they cannot edit or export file into PDB coordinate? Thanks a lot Albert

Failure to reproduce complete Consurf output
by George Tzotzos 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi everybody, I’m attaching a snapshot of the output of a Consurf job (snapshot1). Trying to save the file in EPS format produces only A PART of the right-hand-side pane of the output. No histogram is produced (see output.eps). I’d appreciate any suggestions as to how to produce a complete output. Thank you in advance George

Hi Albert, I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist at present, and I guess it would require substantial changes to make it work - You'd need to make sure that chimera couldn't write out anything after reading that session, and given that Chimera is open source and has many different ways of writing data out that might be tricky. However, that said, I think having a read-only packaged session format would be a very valuable addition (particularly if it incorporated support for maps), because it would solve a long standing issue in peer review of structural biology results - how to provide raw data for inspection to reviewers without providing maps and models with no strings attached, which many PIs are disinclined to do. Cheers, Oliver. >Hello: > >I've made a Chimera section which I would like to share with somebody >else. However, I don't want the PDB within Chimera section to be >exported by others.

on mrz file
by Smith Liu 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Dear All, Suppose I have 2 mrc files which are similar on the same protein, we call one map A one map B, and suppose onece we open them by chimera, A was in the centre of the window and B was not. By mouse dragging we moved map B almost overlap with chain B, then we fit map B to map A by the chimera "Fit in map" function. Is any way we can save map B, so that when we open map A and the saved map B by chimera, both A and B were in the centre of the Windows and A and B fitted as just before we saved map B? Best regards.

Dear All, If I have used "scale 1.04" to scale up, will you please tell me the factor x in "scale x" by which I can return to the original size before I used "scale 1.04" ? Best regards. Smith

Suggestion - autofilter history by typed substring?
by Oliver Clarke 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hi all, Just a suggestion (I guess for chimera 2) - would it be possible to autofilter the command history based on the typed substring? That is if I have typed “sel” and hit the up arrow, to only cycle through those commands in the history that start with “sel”. This would be particularly handy for scrolling quickly through recent “sel” and “color” commands - a similar mechanism is implemented in several shells and it works well. Cheers, Oliver.
