Hi Neha, An MRC file is a density map format. You cannot save it as an atomic model, because it does not contain atomic coordinates. There is no tool in Chimera to create atomic structure instantly from a map. Researchers use various programs to build atomic structures into a map or to build an atomic model separately and then fit it into a map, but it is generally an interactive process that takes many steps. I am not an expert on this process, but you could read hundreds of research papers "Methods" sections to see descriptions of the ways in which it is done. Regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera, I have a .mrc file. I reopened the file in chimera and would like to save it in pdb. I am unable to save it. It needed the molecular model pdb. Kindly guide me the way to save it. Regards Neha Goel
