view along a crystal axis
by Michael Elbaum 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hi. I would like to view a lattice of molecules generated by "Unit Cell" along a given axis. Is there a way to set the view accordingly, say along a, b, or c axis? Other than showing the I'm showing the outline box and eye-balling, but probably there's a more precise way to do this. thanks for your help, Michael

Identifying type of interaction
by nitya yerabandi 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Hi, I'm using UCSF Chimera right now to analyze the contact residues between two proteins, Hsp70 and BAG3. I have created a distance monitor table on chimera that shows residues, atoms, and the distances between them. I am now trying to identify the type of interaction between each pair of atoms, like polar, nonpolar, hydrogen,etc. However, I am having difficulty doing this. I was wondering if you could assist me with this. Thank you, Nitya Yerabandi

command line "vol all style surface plane z,60,8
by Dieter Blaas 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Hi, I am trying to display a volume (128 px box) sliced through the middle as seen down the z axis but 8 slices thick instead of just one. I can render a single slice with "vol #0 style surface plane z,64" but I could not find out how to make it e.g. 8 slices thick. In VolumeViewer there is the parameter 'Depth' but it is not accepted as parameter in the command line! Rater, adding one more number at the end of the command starts playing a movie of one slice after the other.... Thanks a lot for hints, bw Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max Perutz Laboratories Medical University of Vienna, Inst. Med.

RMSD after superimposition
by Subhabrata Majumder, PhD 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Dear Support, I have recently started using chimera_ucsf. I was trying to look at Calpha RMSD list after superimposition two conformation of a particular protein. Do you know where should I get the list after superimposition?

Deleting lipid molecules
by Moradkhan, Tiglath A 04 Jan '21

Hi I've built a lipid particle containing 252 molecules and I'm trying to randomly delete 20 lipid molecules. Does the delete command allow this? I've tried using it but it doesn't seem to work for this case. Thanks Tiglath

A related server with Chimera visualization capability is MOLEonline: <https://mole.upol.cz/> I hadn't heard of betacavity before. In general it would be useful to say or give examples of what outputs they do provide, to give some idea of whether it might be possible... I had to run it myself to figure that out. Looks like they just give Jmol visualization in the web browser and a script for Pymol. Maybe you could ask the authors of betacavity if they would also provide a Chimera script too, but it's probably unlikely. I also see they give lists of atoms on the right side of the results page, but not in PDB format. You could try manually showing surface for those atoms in Chimera (with a Chimera command) but it would be (1) tedious, and (2) just the molecular surface of those atoms, so there may be jagged edges and bits sticking out, not a nice enclosed blob as in their Jmol visualization. Our Castp visualization has this same issue. E.g. for 2gbp I get in the betacavity results: VOID 3 VOID-VOLUME 8.468 A^3 VOID-BNDRY-AREA 41.050 A^2 VOID-DEFINING-ATOMS 27 ATOM 131 CE1 PHE A 16 0.064 A^2 ATOM 689 CA ASN A 91 0.978 A^2 ATOM 691 O ASN A 91 3.921 A^2 ATOM 695 ND2 ASN A 91 1.857 A^2 ATOM 705 N GLU A 93 0.796 A^2 ATOM 709 CB GLU A 93 1.116 A^2 ATOM 713 OE2 GLU A 93 1.118 A^2 ATOM 829 CE2 TYR A 107 0.001 A^2 ATOM 831 OH TYR A 107 5.812 A^2 ATOM 840 CA GLY A 109 0.897 A^2 ATOM 843 N THR A 110 0.696 A^2 ATOM 846 O THR A 110 1.145 A^2 ATOM 848 OG1 THR A 110 2.830 A^2 ATOM 849 CG2 THR A 110 2.985 A^2 ATOM 863 OG SER A 112 2.918 A^2 ATOM 1174 CE1 HIS A 152 0.504 A^2 ATOM 1180 CB PRO A 153 2.424 A^2 ATOM 1182 CD PRO A 153 0.061 A^2 ATOM 1183 N ASP A 154 0.007 A^2 ATOM 1188 CG ASP A 154 1.146 A^2 ATOM 1189 OD1 ASP A 154 3.493 A^2 ATOM 1190 OD2 ASP A 154 1.781 A^2 ATOM 1944 OD1 ASN A 256 0.193 A^2 ATOM 1945 ND2 ASN A 256 0.811 A^2 ATOM 1982 OE1 GLN A 261 2.372 A^2 ATOM 2240 OH TYR A 295 0.069 A^2 ATOM 2356 O1 BGC A 310 1.045 A^2 ...and then in Chimera I could open 2gbp surf :16@ce1:91@o,nd2:93@n,cb,oe2:107@c32,oh:109@ca:110@n,o,og1,cg2:112@og:152@ce1:153@cb,cd:154@n,cg,od1,od2:256@od1,nd2:261@oe1:195@oh:310@o1 ...where the surf command is all one line although the mail program may break it up.

Accession number
by Yasmeen Nasr 01 Jan '21

01 Jan '21

Hello there, This doesn’t seem very much chimera related but I hope someone could help me out. I’m trying to use phD-SNP server and SNP&GO server and they require a Swiss prot code and a uni-prot accession number respectively. Does anyone know where I retrieve such numbers for SNPs? Thank you in advance. Yasmeen Abdulhadi Sent from my iPhone
