Hello could you please help me and my editor

I am a visual artist from the university of Manitoba in Canada My name is Kevin Kelly I am a associate professor at the school of art . First I want to say how absolutely amazed I am at the quality and precision of this astonishing software!!!!! I am working on trying to make an animation with the images and am working with a very clever animator editor and digital designer BEN KATZ that works with CINEMA 4D. We are trying for hours to figure out how to export all the variables of visualizations of the 3D molecular models into a useable 3D model. Is there a way to export the whole model with layers? Like the surface, atoms and ribbons? And is there anyway to export the model with colors? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . It would be super if you could help us out! And once again WOW! All my best Kevin Kelly Sent from my iPhone

change the protonation states
by 孙钦超 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

I would like to make the Glu and Asp protonated, and the Lys and Arg uncharged. While I was trying to do it by addH function with chosing the protonation sates option -> Asp, or chose His. The resulting protonation states of Glu and Arg were the same, as Glu deprotonated and Arg protonated. How could I reach the right protonatation states as I expected? Thanks Qchao

tile function
by Hansen, Bryan (NIH/NIAID) [E] 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hi, Is there an option with the tile command in ChimeraX to get the volumes to rotate in place like it did with Chimera or maybe a different command now that I haven't found yet? Right now when I use Tile the maps rotate together round a single axis, but I liked it a lot in chimera with the tile were the maps rotated on their own axis. Thanks I'm sure it's most likely a command option that I missed in the documentation or a new command I haven't found yet.

Visualizing

Hi Elaine, I was wondering whether it is possible to show the axis guides at the bottom left or bottom right side of the screen just like in VMD? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

Mac Studio
by Greg Williams 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

I just bought a Mac Studio running OS 12.3. I downloaded Chimera 1.16. None of my old .py files will open. The app tells me the files are open, but there’s no content. I can Fetch new files from the pdb, and they work fine. Is this an incompatibility with the new hardware? I know you encourage people to use Chimera X, but I need the vrml export function, so 1.16 is what I have to use. Thank you. Greg Williams

reading output files (pdbqt) from an external vina dock run back into chimera
by Joern Werner 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hello is there a way of reading a series of pdbqt files of docked ligands using vina dock externally back into chimera for inspection and analysis? It looks like Viewdock, should do this but I have a directory full of individual ligand files and I don't know how to prepare them so that Listview reads them into an ordered set i.e. ligand1 ligand2 etc. I can read individual ligands fine. Many thanks Joern

Hello, CCing chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu (recommended address for questions to ensure it doesn't fall through the cracks... and also because often other people know the answer when I do not)... <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/feedback.html> I guess you are talking about method "b" in that post? I believe the values would also go to the Reply Log in addition to the status line. You can save the Reply Log contents using a bit of python. That is beyond my expertise personally, but fortunately is described at the bottom of this page on basic scripting: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer…> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Help for USCF chimera
by cindy g 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Good morning, By Uscf chimera I have a complex with an antibody and an antigen. After determining the predicted paratopes and highlighting only their side chains, I would like to identify the side chains of the amino acids of the antigen which are in a zone <5A from the side chains of the predicted paratopes. I don't know how to do it with command lines or anything. Thank you in advance for your help Cordially
