Hi Elaine; Thanks, it worked :) Cheers On Jul 8, 2011, at 7:41 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Dedan, There are many different ways to specify two atoms and measure the distance between them.
The GUI way is to Ctrl-click to select one atom, Shift-Ctrl-doubleclick to both select the second atom and get a popup menu that includes the choice to "Show Distance." There's also a Distances tool and the command "distance."
Three ways to measure a distance are given here: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/structuremeas/struc...>
It is also done in tutorials, for example here: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/squalene.html#dist...>
In general, you can use menu "Help... Search Documentation" to find subjects of interest. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
