How to make bonds between two pdb files
by Ann Spevacek 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello - I am trying to make a bond between a protein and a polysaccharide chain in Chimera and am not quite sure how to do it. I am also curious as to whether the program will take into account interactions such as sterics when it generates the bond. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ann Spevacek Millhauser Lab UCSC

successive minimizations: can we use a unique protein setup?
by Jean Didier Pie Marechal 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi everyone, I want to do the following: 1. minimize a region of a structure 2. change some part of the region by hand (like swap a residue) 3. minimize once more. and this 2 or three times. However, each time I want to minimize I have to pass through the all setup of the protein (add H, hist protonation, and so one). Couldn't we keep the information of the first setup and directly fo through the minimization?

Using match
by Omar Davulcu 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi, I'm using the match command with a cutoff to align specific regions of related enzymes. It appears to work fine and remove residue pairs above the cutoff, but is there a way to list those residue pairs which were (or were not) removed? Thanks for any help! Omar Davulcu

removing side chains
by Matthew Dougherty 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I have a session that someone has given me. It consists of 24 monomers in two states, each monomer colored differently. In the model panel I see only two IDs. I need to do a morph showing just the ribbons. Because the overall number of atoms is quite large, I want to strip off the side chains in order to reduce the computation. Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I have to go back to individual monomers, strip off the side chains, recolor, and recombine them, before morphing? thanks, Matt

Coloring snapshots using time as attribute
by Ibrahim Moustafa 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Dear Chimera team, I have several snapshots from simulation loaded as different models. I wonder if there is a way to color them coded according to time as an attribute, e.g. Red-white-blue for t0 -> t. Thanks in advance, Ibrahim -- Ibrahim M.

Re: [Chimera-users] How to add change to multiple molecules
by CHIU,YEUNG 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi Yang You mean adding "charge"? I think you can add charge to all of the models as long as you check the box referred to them at the bottom. If you want to add charge to some models only, you can ~disp all, then display one by one and add charge to them. I hope this would help. Good luck!

How to add change to multiple molecules
by zhouyang 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi Recently I wanna add change to a series of molecules for DOCK6 which are stored in a single .mol2 file. It seems that the Chimera GUI can just add change for one molecules at one operation. I wonder how to add change to all of them? Alternatively I just suppose to use 'split' shell command to seperate these molecules to single files and then add change to them. Then the key point is whether Chimera can run in command-line mode so that I can achieve by writing a shell script?

Fwd: Combining fragments for RESP charges
by Francesco Pietra 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Sorry I used the wrong address for the message below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <chiendarret(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 8:34 AM Subject: Combining fragments for RESP charges To: chimera-users-request(a)cgl.ucsf.edu I was reading Ross Walker's tutorial A1, in the suite of tutorials for Amber. When deriving RESP charges for an unusual molecule covalently bound to a protein, the unusual molecule is first detached from the protein and then further divided into fragments. RESP charges are derived for the fragments, then the fragments are recombined using Sirius visualization program. The recombined fragments are then attached to the protein, again using Sirius. Can these recombinations be carried out with Chimera? Thanks francesco pietra

morph-coordinates and camera movements
by Matthew Dougherty 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

I was generating a morph of atoms and wanted to rotate the camera 242 degrees on the x axis. I am thinking there may be several ways to do this, such as per-frame script in the morph tool or through the movie recorder script. Is one way better than the other? What would the scripts look like? Thanks, Matt
