You would install the ChimeraX daily build, run it and use Tools / More Tools… to get the ISOLDE plugin developed by Tristan Croll at University of Cambridge. It only works on Linux and Mac. Keep in mind that ChimeraX does not have a lot of the Chimera features — check out the ChimeraX web site to see if it might be useful to you. Here is some info on ISOLDE https://cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu/apps/chimeraxisolde<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu_apps_chimeraxisolde&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=whpvMrKWOT-LUUvgOwsBb9A2TJkkRQCHUKVhIR1FJjk&m=eHboAA5LjWh5HJudwYyaokXrREXP9hfFPnzvRd4C4-s&s=xB_y8fJQdynYgZd5H5-rmYYgKnBFqbSvsGUisVeg4Sc&e=> Tom On Feb 22, 2018, at 9:39 AM, Elaine Meng wrote: Hi Sharyn, Sorry, Chimera does not read or convert mtz files. (By the way, the address for Chimera questions is chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu<mailto:chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> , CC’d here.) Previous posts to this list suggest some other program such as CCP4 fft can be used to create a map file from an mtz file, for example: <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2006-February/000700.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__plato.cgl.ucsf.edu_pipermail_chimera-2Dusers_2006-2DFebruary_000700.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=whpvMrKWOT-LUUvgOwsBb9A2TJkkRQCHUKVhIR1FJjk&m=eHboAA5LjWh5HJudwYyaokXrREXP9hfFPnzvRd4C4-s&s=uaXSay4OQQ5HS3ohHeUNqscLoOFmoOmL3Lh4VKDUFEM&e=>> You can search the Chimera-users mail archive for topics like "mtz" from here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/feedback.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.rbvi.ucsf.edu_chimera_docs_feedback.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=whpvMrKWOT-LUUvgOwsBb9A2TJkkRQCHUKVhIR1FJjk&m=eHboAA5LjWh5HJudwYyaokXrREXP9hfFPnzvRd4C4-s&s=dACq5WBNq138jjDnQAJOOaTIx7qE_y-Bwp3SGkumTSM&e=>> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
