How to know the cut-off used in ensemble cluster?
by Ibrahim Mohamed 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

i am using MD movie to cluster my Molecular Dynamics results. how can i know the cut-off used by chimera to do this? i know that it depends on the data itself, but how can i know this cut-off for specific data? Thanks

Conversion of Chimera session .py file to Pymol .pse file
by Joanna Smietanska 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Dear UMSF Chimera Users, I would like to ask how to convert Chimera session .py file into .pse Pymol format? I have a few saved Chimera sessions, my approach was to save protein coordinates in .pdb format and subsequently read them in Pymol 2.0 to save as Pymol session, but during this procedure all informations about specific colouring of chains and other settings are lost. May I ask about possibilities for direct import Chimera .py files into Pymol without losing saved settings? I would be very grateful for any help and advice. Best regards, Joanna Smietanska

Molecular dynamics
by Сергей Владимиров 01 Jun '20

Good day! My name is Sergei Vladimirov, I'm a student at Moscow State University. As far as I know, when running a molecular dynamics of ligand-protein interaction one must use different force fields to the ligand and the protein. There is a mm14ff to calculate interactions within a protein but there are only two different force fields to calculate interactions within a ligand. I've been led into believing that the best ff for small organic ligands is GAFF. So my question is, is there any way to implement the GAFF force field into the production of molecular dynamics? Is there anything I'm missing? I will be awaiting your reply. Best regards, Sergei Vladimirov.

Molecular docking
by Schaf, Judith (2017) 27 May '20

Hi everybody, I have a quick question: when I analyse the results of a molecular docking assay (performed with SwissDock) on Chimera I sometimes see a green line between the protein and the ligand. Does someone know what this line represents? [cid:fc8bd8ab-4117-464a-b2fb-0f512e867f88] Thank you, Judith

Just choose the "all possible" option. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/editing/editing.h…> Or, you could use the "bond" command: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/bond.html> The chimera-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu address (CC'd here) is recommended for Chimera questions, unless private data are included.

save images/scene - independent of chimera window
by Dominique Gutierrez 26 May '20

26 May '20

Good Morning, Is there a way to save an image independent of the chimera window size. When I reopened a saved session and saved an image from a scene it was not the same and it seems to be due to change in the chimera window. Best Regards. Dominique Gutierrez

Color by electrostatic potential
by Francesco Pietra 22 May '20

22 May '20

I was able to open with chimera 1.1.3.1 (linux) electrostatic-potential cube files generated from ORCA package and view them in colors (red lowest, blue highest potential). I can't remember how I succeeded and now, from chimera help, I am no more able. Only a single color. Thanks for putting me on the right way. chiendarret
