display cartoon and H-bonds
by Bryan Sutton 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

I can't for the life of me figure out how to display ONLY a cartoon representation of my protein and backbone H-bonds. ChimeraX keeps forcing side-chain:backbone bonds.. I don't want that. I can do it if I show the backbone atoms, but I don't want to do that either. I only want it to show ONLY backbone H-bonds.

Problem of starting Chimera
by 郭家瑞 24 Aug '24

24 Aug '24

Hello, This is the first time I am stalling Chimera, but I meet the problem of starting the software. According to the Debug command, I have tried update my graphic driver, installed Gzip and tried different Chimera releases including 1.18, 1.17 and 1.14. However, the software still cannot be started. The content of debug log is copied as following: D:\Chimera 1.14\share\chimeraInit.py:99: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal if chimera_env.get(e) == _original_environ.get(e): initializing general preferences loading Tix initializing graphics Return code: -1073741819 I am looking forward to any guidance or help for solving the problem. My graphic is NVIDIA Geforce 3050Ti and the opperation system is Windows 10. If necessary, more details can be supplied. Sincerely Appreciated, Jiarui Guo from China

After installing and opening the UCSF Chimera software, pythonw.exe keeps popping up new windows, causing the software to malfunction. I have tried downloading various versions of the UCSF Chimera software, but after installation, when I double-click to open it, various interfaces keep popping up. At the same time, Microsoft Edge also continuously opens web pages, rendering both the software and the computer unusable. I found that a few years ago, someone in the community had the same experience. How can this be resolved? Most concerning is that, like them, I am also using a Honor laptop.

Chimera

Good afternoon – I’d appreciate advise for virus capsid viewing. Adeno-associated viruse structures, e.g., 1lp3, consist of the asymmetric unit repeated 60x to form the icosahedral capsid (T=1). I’d like to highlight the equivalent residue in each of the 60 subunits but haven’t figured out how to do that (except by manually going through each of the 60 chains). Please let me know if there are commands that can specify the residue in chains 1, 2, 3,…60. Thank you Robert Kotin

Greetings, hope you are doing well. I want your guidance on how can I open a .crd file on UCSF Chimera. I am working on a protein and its mutants and performed their docking via Swiss Dock, it gave results in form of .crd file that I cannot open. My supervisor also has no idea how to open it, so please help me in this regard, I need to open it to work further on my research. Waiting for your kind response please.

column selection: chimera vs chimeraX
by 7mkf 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

Hi there, I'm an avid user of chimera and have begun transitioning to chimeraX. A feature I find very useful in chimera is expand selection to columns within the multialignviewer. Is there a way to do this in ucsf chimeraX? Many thanks, Mike

molmap onGrid option
by Hernando J Sosa 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Dear Chimera I am using the molmap command with the option onGrid but the results are not what I would have expected. With a loaded map (#0) and an atomic model(#1) The command: molmap #1 6.0 onGrid #0 generates a map with a voxel size of 6.768 even though the loaded map #0 has a voxel size of 0.846 Trying to force the voxel size with molmap #1 6.0 onGrid #0 gridSpacing 0.846 produces the same result as the onGrid option overrides the gridSpacing option. How can I produce a map using molmap that has exactly the same dimensions and voxel size of map #0? Thanks H. _

17 Jul '24

Dear Chimera User and Development Team, I tried to download ucsf-chimera version 1.18. However, the message 500 Internal Server Error appears. Is this error from our internet network, or is it from the chimera server? Thank you ------- Setyanto Tri Wahyudi ------- Computational Biophysics Group, Department of Physics, IPB University - Indonesia Gedung Fisika Wing-S Lt.2 Jl.
