They may not be similar. All I can say is that Chimera is not itself a docking program, but it is very popular for superposition, and for viewing/analysis of docking results output from other programs.

Dear Elaine, I understand. Thanks. For basic student usage ( like superimposing, docking , etc), is Chimera as efficient as BIOVIA virtual discovery studio? I have MacBook and discovery is not compatible with Mac. So I’m looking for a pretty similar alternative. Your support is highly appreciated.

Hi Simin, Sorry, Chimera does not read dsv files (“DSV” can stand for different things, but Chimera doesn’t read any of them.) This page lists the kinds of files Chimera reads: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html>

Hello, I do not know how to open a discovery studio visualizer (.dsv) file in Chimera. Can you please help me with that? Thank you. Best regards, Simin
