Hi Harini, Chimera does not do any automated docking. You can interactively position the structures yourself by "freezing" the position of one structure and moving the other, but Chimera does not determine the positions or tell you which ones are more favorable. One way to freeze a model so it doesn't move when you rotate or translate the others is to uncheck the "Active" checkbox in the Model Panel (Favorites... Model Panel in the Chimera menu). I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I am a final year b.tech industrial biotech student working on docking studies between a polymer and membrane proteins of e.coli. I would like to know whether chimera can be utilised for performing polymer protein docking studies. Thanking you
