Hi Everyone, As of the end of April 2020, the webserver to opal is no longer working. I have tried to build the PDB2PQR programme locally but have been struggling. Basically, need to align a RNA molecule to a sight within the pdb. If anyone can help, please assist. Thank you, Ali from Cape Town

New instance opened with each new map
by Melody Campbell 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi, Since I installed the 64-bit UCSF Chimera version for Mac Catalina (10.15.5) each time I open a new map, a new instance of UCSF Chimera opens instead of opening the map in the same instance. Could you help me find where the setting is to change this so that by default all new maps and models opened (via double clicking icons) is done in the same instance of Chimera? (I tried re-installing/ restoring all factory settings and deleting my /Users/user/.chimera/preferences file, but still by default, a new session opens for each map). Thanks so much! Melody

convert .mod to .mrc
by Emmanuel Moebel 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Dear Chimera community, I am visualising a tomogram segmentation with Chimera, the format of the file is .mod and has been obtained with the IMOD software. I would like to get a voxel map from it : a volume with integer values, for ex. '0' for background, '1' for membrane, '2' for filament. Output file format needs to be .mrc or .em. Is this possible to achieve with Chimera? Thanks in advance, Emmanuel Moebel, PhD

Hi, officer, I am Hai Li at university of texas working on the protein structure and function. Recently I begin to use chimera to show the protein structure. I lean that I need to click and drag a residue in the list in order to show this residue’s sidechain in chimra. However, I have windows and I tried to do the click and drag a residue but it did not work. Could you please tell me how to visualize a residue in windows? Thank you. hai Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Structure Minimization and Molecule Movement (ChimeraX-1.0)?
by Ammar Jastaniah 20 Jun '20

20 Jun '20

Hi, I am not able to find the minimize feature function in ChimeraX-1.0. Is there an equivalent to the regular Chimera version, which is to be found under Tools ==> Structure Editing ===> Minimize Structure? Also. Are you able to move a PDB file ligand molecule around while keeping the other receptor PDB structure stationary/in its place in ChimeraX-1.0? Once again, this is achievable in Chimera by clicking on Tools ==> Movement ===> Movement Mouse Mode. Thank you. Ammar

"re-sending question to the right bb" Dear All, I'm trying to run ViewDock, in Chimera, from a script using the following command in a loop: runCommand("viewdock " + filename + " AutoDock") It works fine. However, the ViewDock window remains opened after reading each file. For large number of files it is not practical to close them manually. Is there a command to close the opened ViewDock windows to add to the script? Thank you for your help. Ibrahim

Saving volume surface in IMOD .mod
by Long Gui 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Dear all, I was trying to save the surface data of a mrc file in Volume Viewer as the IMOD file type .mod so that it would be read in IMOD. I have searched but could only find the following link about opening IMOD .mod file in Chimera: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/imod… But I want to do the reserve operation. Is that possible that we could generate and save the surface data in Chimera and let it be read by IMOD?
