Good evening, i am Student and Installed chimera for WINDOWS (chimera-1.15-win64.exe <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/cgi-bin/secure/chimera-get.py?file=win64/c…>) from your website but I am unable to run it on my system since it is a 64 bit release and my system is 32 bit. I urgently need chimera for my project work but I'm not able to use it since the 32 bit release of chimera isn't available. please let me know what can be done

Showbox
by Francesca Magarotto - francesca.magarotto2＠studio.unibo.it 03 Nov '21

Hi, I know that the program showbox is related to Dock, but I can't find a mailing list still active for Dock users... Maybe someone could help me here. I don't understand if ligands that are docked inside the binding site can exit in part from the box the user defines for grid calculation. I think that maybe if sphere centers are very near the boundaries of the box, it could be possible, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know it? Thanks and regards.

Counting the number of water molecules
by Prathvi Singh 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Hi, Is there a command in UCSF chimera to count the total no. of water molecules in a PDB file? Can we also count, say the total number of alanine residues in a PDB file or any other other residue for that matter? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

Re: [Chimera-users] [Chimera] Different bond width in the same model

Unfortunately I have no idea how to change the bond radius in the command line.

In the Selection Inspector, inspect: Bond, and then change the bond radius value for the current selection. If you hold the mouse over the "radius" part of that dialog, a popup balloon says that the name of this bond attribute (for using in commands) is "radius" If you prefer to use commands only, the command to set attribute values is "setattr," e.g. setattr b radius 0.4 .... to change all bonds setattr b radius 0.1 sel ... to change bonds in the current selection (and you can use any other atomspec, not just "sel", e.g. model numbers, residue names or numbers, etc.) The general explanation of this and how to change it is <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/representation.html#repre…> Selection Inspector <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/inspection.html#bondprop"> setattr command <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/setattr.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

RR Distance Maps: Exporting St. Dev Map
by Woods, Taariq (NIH/NEI) [F] 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

Hello, I am doing some analysis on homology models. I generated the RR Distance Map for 5 structures. I wanted to export the standard deviations map only so that I can see the numerical values, but every time I click export in only gives me the option of exporting a map of the distances. I was just wondering if I could have some help with this if I am missing something. Regards, Taariq
