gopenmol files in chimera?
by syma 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

HI, I was just wondering if it is possible to import gopenmol plt files in chimera either directly or by going through a (freely available) conversion code? Thanks in advance for your help, -Syma *************************************************** Dr Syma Khalid Lab. of Molecular Biophysics, Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QU U.K. ***************************************************

insertion codes and residue selection
by Moo Cow 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

I would be very grateful for advice. Some coordinates contain residue 51 residue 51A (a residue with an insertion code) If I select #0:51 then both residues are selected. Is there any way to persuade chimera to just select residue 51, but not 51A ? Many thanks -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

How to append functional groups to a residue
by C. Parry 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Hi Chimera Peoples - My question is how does one append a functional group (say, nitro, bromine, ..., or metal) to a residue (say, tyrosine, ..., adenine). This would involve replacing some atom or group. I am aware of 'swapa,' 'swapna' commands but these are straight forward one-for-one changes of whole residues. Thanks. C.

Chimera Folks, I was looking at the gallery images and noticed that one is of the FlAsH molecule. Are the PDB coordinate available somewhere for this molecule? Or ReAsH? Thanks, David

Electron density
by C. Parry 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Could anyone help with loading and displaying CNS or XPLOR electron density maps in Chimera. I have tried many times and also the dialog boxes in the user guide do not exactly correspond to the version (12/2004) of Chimera I have. Thanks. ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries. Sign up for Fantasy Football http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com

I am exploring/using the program and I was wondering if there was any sort of point mutation tool? Such that one could graphically see say a mutation like ser23trp? Thanks, Robert R Lavieri

how to open bug-report dialog in v1.2105
by Sabuj Pattanayek 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi, In v1.2105 (irix) the report a bug command under the help menu is not available (as stated in the current development documentation I assume for v1.2129). How do I open the bug report submission dialog from the command line or from the menus even if a crash or error has not occurred? Thanks, Sabuj Pattanayek

Red / blue stereo

Steve Ludtke would like red / blue stereo. Tom ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2005 02:13:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Steve Ludtke <stevel(a)blake.3dem.bioch.bcm.tmc.edu> Reply-To: sludtke(a)bcm.tmc.edu To: Thomas Goddard <goddard(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: Chimera Suggestion We've had a minor resurgance of stereo work in the lab recently. We have a couple of SGI's still with the standard shutter-glasses, and a single PC with a CRT and an active stereo capable projector. We tried the Sharp autostereographic monitor, but it works only so-so, and gives me a headache almost instantly. It would be really useful to have simple stereo set up for occasional use on all of the desktop machines in the lab (which have normal LCD panels now). Anyway, I was just wondering if you guys thought about implementing analglyph (red/blue glasses) stereo ? I've done this manually for snapshots using the 'left eye' and 'right eye' mode in chimera to get the separation right, and it works surprisingly well as long as you don't mind sacrificing color. It would be very useful to have this available for interactive use. Any chance ? (it's also very useful for posters, since many people can't do the eye-crossing thing). Just a suggestion :^) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Ludtke, PhD | Baylor College of Medicine sludtke(a)bcm.tmc.edu | Asst.
